Customer Reviews: Nice Tool for the Handi HomeownerDecember 2, 2008 Douglas Wilkins(Horseheads NY) I bought this tool for my dad for Christmas knowing I was going to build a house the next spring. I used this to set my footers, grade for the basement floor and general leveling of things to be placed under the concrete. I wish it was auto leveling but those models are a lot more expensive. The tool is accuarte and a real time saver when grading off an area to pour concrete. I recommend buying a set of try-pod legs if you don't have them already. I set it up on a sawhorse and leveled from there. It was worth the money.
Good tool, bad shippingSeptember 7, 2008 F. A. Vellozzi(West Milford, NJ) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The good part is that the laser works well. The only complaint that I have with the tool is that the laser "dot" could be smaller. It would improve accuracy especially when using the detector at distances under 50 feet. When using the detector if you approach the dot from the bottom and make a mark when it tones out, then approach it from the top you get two different marks. Once you get used to the discrepancy you can get pretty accurate with it. Now the bad part; The care in shipping such a semi-delicate instrument stinks. It took three orders to finally get one that wasn't damaged. The first two were new units. The last one was a reconditioned unit which chose to bring to a Dewalt Factory Authorized Repair Center to have one of the vials replaced (under warranty) rather than play the return game again. I recommend that you by a device like this from a place where you can inspect it before accepting it. Sometimes the difference in price is not worth the aggravation.
Excellent buy for the price.April 4, 2007 William C. White(Jane Lew, WV USA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Could find NO indication that the laser was used. Works GREAT! Easy to use.
