Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Black&Decker laser level
I liked the ease of using this product. I like the drywall nail and magnet on back of level. The different angles that you can use this at is a great feature. The only problem is the brightness of the red laser light. When used in brighter lit rooms it is hard to see down the length of the wall; it starts our strong and weakens as the line extends. This is good for me since I don't have many uses to use a level; except to hang pictures and curtain rods. This product makes it much easier for ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Dissappointed
I bought this tool at Target with high hopes that I could hang pictures without the help of my never-available, handyman husband. It is impossible to read the leveling device and using the pin to hold it on the wall is impractical since it is damaging. My husband, who is very knowledgeable with tools, told me that I had wasted my money. Black and Decker, you have such great ideas. Please allow your engineers to design something that really works even if it cost more or takes more time to get to market!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - just ok
While this product was effective in completing the projects I needed to have done, It was hard to read the leveling device to adequately make sure the beam was straight.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The AnglePro feature is useless
While the auto leveling feature works fine (checked with a 4' level and a water level at 34'), the AnglePro function is off by about 3 degrees (at 8 feet it's off by 4") which is plainly visible just by eye.

I haven't decided if I'm going to return it or take it apart and see if I can adjust it. Also as already mentioned in another review, the center mark is very hard to see. I might try to paint it with thinned out model paint (if I don't return the unit).



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It's cheap
Yes, it is cheap price and also cheap made. The device is made in China. The battery cover is so easy to fall off. The edges don't look clean.

I don't know how long it would last but personally I expect higher quality from Black and Decker.
