I really like this laser level because of the size. Unfortunately, it failed to convey two important features - the ideal level and clarity of the laser line. It's not a self-leveling tool, so you need to use its leveling to set up the leveling line, which is easy to do. As I mentioned above, this is far from ideal height and the laser line is broken, barely visible beyond 2ft. You can make the laser line harder and go farther if you tilt the back up, but then you can't check the leveling bubble to make sure the line is at the perfect level. I hope that the manufacturer can solve these two problems soon.
