Review on πŸ”‹ Ryobi ELL1002 Battery-Powered Mounting Capability by Troy Jennings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent, with a few flaws.

It is easy to use and easy to mount on the wall even when the level is off. I haven't tried it on textured surfaces, only on drywall painted with either smooth or gloss paint. It stays in place with no issues and seems very strong until you turn it off and remove it. No marks were left on my freshly painted walls. Very happy with these aspects of this product. I can say I expected it to stick to the wall and once in place it will remain motionless (don't know why I thought that) but it still works to stick to the wall be liable. wall, creating an incredibly loud sucking/suctioning noise throughout use. Finally, he noted that the laser rounded the corners. Yes, but only a little - maybe an inch or two at the top. Another laser I had before (a zircon level laser) rounded the corners 5 to 10 feet which made the picture much easier to hang. Unfortunately, zircon kept falling off the wall due to the sticky, clay-like substance used to stick to the wall. For the price and the ability to stay in place while in use I'd say this little Ryobi laser arm is worth it, but the constant noise it makes while in use is very annoying to say the least. Also, I wish the corners were a lot more rounded.
