Saturday, November 20, 2010 Bosch GPL3T 3-Point Torpedo Laser Alignment Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried many laser/leveler tools in the past, and some, like the FatMax self leveling multiline laser have not been a waste of money. OK, not the same money as the big professional lasers.But mostly a waste. So rather skeptically got this Bosch unit but only after beinghappy with the Bosch DAF220K electronic protractor for cove mouldings on cathedral ceilings.I had been installing a 100' aluminum and glass deck fence on a sl wavy seawall and also needing level footingson a bi-sloping deck and was frustrated with the wind and gravity messing the chalklines.My other lasers just couldn't be trusted over such a distance for flush and level and my 4 ft precision level was too long for final plumb of the 3 ft stiles.
So I bought this unit.Rarely has a tool made my life so much easier.Maybe just luck this one was so well calibrated that the bubble level on the adjustable stand got me within 3/32th inch of level at 100 ft!That little magnetically held stand is what makes this unit so useable for such a distance. Of course the dot is larger and fuzzier, but still bright enough during the day to get my mark. Thus was able to adjust the footing for the base of each stile and keep the distance to the bottom and top rails constant.Then turning the LED off, it was perfect as a torpedo level to give my plumb adjustments.Checking with my 4 ft level it was right on every time.(It also doesn't hurt that the design and workmanship are superb, the picture above doesn't do it justice, important when one loves precision tools, they just feel and look better.)Highly recommended.
