How-to

Learn about laser levels, instruments used in construction, and woodworking to produce straight lines or reference points. Discover how they work, the different types available, their applications, and their advantages and disadvantages.

Laser levels have a base that can project the line at any height: from the floor, mounted to the wall, or attached to a tripod. Self- leveling device uses a magnet and gravity to balance the laser pendulum before the beam of light is projected. These are more accurate, time-saving, and good for indoor jobs at home.
