Review on πŸ”§ Accurate Alignment Made Easy: HILDA Construction Three Plane Self Leveling Alignment Tool by Dusty Oner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful tool for measuring and marking tools

Pros: Self-leveling function seems accurate. see lines at 50ft indoors (haven't tried using it outdoors). Rechargeable. Comes with power adapter and cables. I've been using it for several hours and still haven't had to charge the battery. Difficult. I can see this is good as it keeps it in the right position. The tote bag is very well filled. Standard mount so I can use one of the camera tripods. Cons: The wall mount is useless. The magnets are weak and the mount itself barely holds, there's no chance of staying level either. The screw holes are positioned so that only one screw can be used to attach to the frame stand. The beeping when a block self-levels or tilts more than 4 degrees is annoying and unnecessary. The blinking of the line(s) is a sufficient indicator. it's a visual tool, after all. The only way to turn off the beep is to turn off the self-leveling feature. Maybe they added an outdoor horn? Anyway, it would be nice if it could be turned off. There is no battery indicator. The tote bag is huge. it really shouldn't be that big. Overall: Got this for 1/2 the price with a Revain coupon. For 1/2 the price I think it's worth it. With a battery indicator, a better mount, and a more convenient case, I'd pay full price. The 16-series HILDA model is probably a better deal (same regular price as this) *if* the accessories are of better quality.
