Insight
Laser levels are one of the most revolutionary tools to hit the construction industry since the power drill. Now a staple in most contractor’s tool belts, the laser level came on the scene in the late 1960s to early 1970s and was patented and perfected throughout the 80s and 90s, taking many different forms throughout the decades.
In the beginning, the laser levels in use weren’t self-leveling, meaning the user had to manually adjust the tool’s position until the traditional bubble levels read level.
Once the tool had been positioned, the laser line it cast could be considered perfectly level. Later, self-leveling lasers became a popular option, especially in interior construction. With this option, the user could place the laser, and a level line would instantly be created.
What Is a Self-Leveling Laser Level?
A self-leveling laser level is a device that emits a laser beam that, when used properly, is perfectly level or plumb. A replacement for a standard box level or plumb line, this tool offers an immense amount of freedom and possibilities that make jobs like laying tile, mounting cabinets, and exterior jobs like grading and masonry work easier than ever before.
These days, with laser levels coming in more compact sizes with smaller price tags, you don’t have to be a professional to justify adding this versatile tool to your tool belt. DIY enthusiasts and homeowners are finding more and more uses for laser levels around the house.
