🔴 DEWALT DW088K: Red Beam Cross Line Self-Leveling Line Laser for Accurate Alignment Review

I rarely see these levels at a construction site, although the brand is well-known. I don't really like DeWALT perforators because of the fragility and high cost of repairs, but the level came out very reliable. Pros: The DeWALT lineup has retained this model for almost 10 years. I have been using them for a very long time. It has paid for itself many times over. Chose specifically for the installation of plasterboard ceilings and partitions. Very convenient fastening, the magnet is very…

Pros: Very easy to line things up for hanging. It is very easy to mark the vertical posts. The red lines are very light indoors. .Cons: Couldn't find any papers online to calibrate but according to my manual level it's correct. I see that on a sunny day outdoors the laser can be harder to see at longer distances. If you do a lot of outdoor work, a green laser model is probably better. I wish it had a cutout for a camera mount on a tripod. But I had another one pressing on the spring, so it…

I bought this to fix a fence on my property that was falling apart. I chose to build it from individual picket fences rather than using the prefabricated fence panels available at major hardware stores simply because they are such low quality. The results speak for themselves. I used the DW088K to make sure my crossbars were level and my pickets were plumb. I am attaching a photo of the finished work. I could never achieve this level of accuracy with just a bubble level. I used an old thrift…

An excellent tool in its price range. I worked with him for many years before he was stolen from me. Bought a new one the same day without hesitation. And six months later they stole a new one from me :) I've dropped it on the floor several times and it's still ideal in terms of level. Simply a great tool for little money. And I have to say it has a pretty nice beam angle compared to other brands. Yes I suggest a 165 degree angle in the horizontal ray and a pretty good angle in the vertical ray

I just didn't research it enough before going ahead and buying it. It's not that many tools' fault, it was mine for not being thorough - It's a RED line laser, not the newer GREEN line. The line was also a bit thick - It's only 2D, not 3D - It only projects lines forward, not 360 degrees. Does not extend all the way around the room (for swivel chairs etc.) - Cannot be used on floors or ceilings for the above reasons - Does not have a lock for the self-leveling mechanism. I know, I know, DeWalt…

I am really tired of receiving items from Revain that are clearly used and returned... and then sent back to other buyers, sometimes obviously counterfeit with no attempt to hide evidence , let alone factory or even certified sanitation. I have stopped regularly buying refurbished tools after failing and would definitely not buy a used laser regardless of the 'refurbished' status. Using a fragile laser level, I opened very carefully, and it struck me as odd that this thing was dangling in a…

The uses for this are endless. So far I've used this to level the exterior doors I've installed in my house, which was a lot better than constantly walking on the level because I could see the laser line as I moved. I've also used it to place extra outlets in the wall and keep them level with existing outlets and I had a friend use it to draw stripes on his walls. With a tripod this thing is deadly and you're guaranteed to find more and more uses! **UPDATE** I still love her very much. I've…

I have several laser levels but I mostly use the Dewalt DW088K. I love this laser level. It is very easy to use and projects a single horizontal or vertical beam (OR BOTH, hence Cross Line) over 100 feet indoors and comes with a blown plastic carrying case, an adjustable magnetic wall mount and a well-written instruction manual. The laser itself is self-leveling and has LED indicators to show when it is level. The build quality of this laser is typical DeWalt and is solid and durable. I've had…
