Review: DEWALT DW087K Heavy-Duty, Good product

Overall Rating55555

Good product

The company I work for started buying these when they hit the market, and now they have a couple dozen of these, and they seem to be holding up very well. Generally there are very few tools by DeWalt that I like, but I absolutely love these lasers. We use them for steel framing (walls, ceilings, soffits)and trim (setting cabinets and making sure that head casings align) and I ended up liking it so much, I bought my own. The only complaint that I and my co-workers have is the laser line is hard to see in bright light or long distances.

Update (9/7/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Reliable time saver
I do kitchen and bathroom remodels all the time. I do not use many traditional levels (I use Stabila) more after I bought it. Simply put this level on my regular camera tripod and turn it on. Perfect level every time. If you put it in the corner of a room, you can project laser lines throughout the room. While you work only on what ever you have to do. Tiling, hanging cabinets, etc. Very useful, seems like the batteries last long, and comes with a sturdy case you can drag it to the back of your truck. I wanted to get one from Hilti, but the price is more than twice for the same thing. I think I made an excellent choice and highly recommend.

I have every length of level Stabila makes
It took me a week to trust this device, now my levels stay in the truck. I install window coverings. I can determine if the floor slopes and or the ceiling, find the low spot, measure up from there to set my laser line. Now i can project a level line to set for my brackets and hang curtains, toppers, shutters, verticals, vertiglides, luminettes, silhouettes, woods, fauxs, composites, minis, honeycombs, softviews, pleated, tucson rolling shutters, anything the industry has I install 5 days a week. This has fell from 8 feet up many times and keeps going. You will love it once your comfortable with it.
