STANLEY Cubix Cross Line Red Beam Laser STHT77498-1

Product Information

The removable battery is Lithium Ion, and it provides the laser with up to 35 hours operating time with one laser turned on, up to 20 hours with two lasers turned on, and up to 12.5 hours of battery life on full power with all three lasers visible. That’s impressive, and hopefully means you won’t run out of battery during the job. I tested multiple products so that I can recommend the best laser levels currently available on the market. I assessed each one individually, comparing their build quality, performance, ease of use and value for money. Here are the factors that I researched and tested for each of these elements: The only feature missing from the KT360A is a plumb dot. Available on the Kaiweets KT360B, it shoots a laser dot vertically above and below the unit. This handy feature means you can find the plumb point in any given space. It’s great for laying out stud walls, so it’s a shame that it’s not on this model. The Lasers Laser levels are battery-powered – look out for their maximum operating time – the best laser levels can go for up to 20 hours. Some come with a rechargeable battery too.

Step 7: Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each corner of the room/wall you intend to measure. Features and Benefits Turning the laser on is done via a sliding switch, and the laser starts in automatic levelling mode. The laser flashes when it’s not level and will continue to do so until it finds equilibrium. It will self-level within ± 4°. When you turn on the red laser function, you can cycle through three modes, horizontal line, cross line and vertical. There’s a difference between this tool and the best laser levels on my list though. You need to use the spirit levels and the laser together to get an accurate straight line. It’s not difficult to do, but obviously takes more effort than a self-levelling machine. The three laser modules on this level are true 360° ones, and apart from the tiny gaps left by the shadow of the laser housing, it casts a bright and easy to read green laser around the room. They are powerful Class 2 lasers with a working range of approximately 30 m. The Stanley Cubix Laser Level comes with 2 powerful precision lasers that provide consistent, accurate readings.

The green lasers really show up well against an internal wall, even in bright sunlight. I prefer the green laser colour to the more traditional red, but they both suffer in an outdoor setting. When outside, the laser is just about visible, but it takes a bit of hunting around when you’re more than a few metres away from the unit. It has a self-leveling cross line and a precision grade bubble level on top which will ensure that you get a perfectly leveled and aligned job. It's extended to a maximum of 16.4 ft (5m) without the need of an external support. It has a measuring range of 90ft (27m). How to use Stanley Cubic laser level? Out of bright sunlight, and especially in the dark, the laser was easy to find up to 30 metres away. I was guessing at the exact distance, but it was far enough away to be impressive. For most jobs that a DIYer will take on, it’s absolutely fine. Harry has real-world tested 46 products for DIY Garden, and is one of our more experienced testers.

Step 3: Place an object at one end of the measuring range. For example, place something heavy on the floor. The heavier the better because this way other objects placed nearby won’t affect the reading. Bosch’s Quigo range of laser levels fits into their “green” stable of DIY tools, and as it’s a green laser, it all makes perfect sense. The Quigo Green cross line laser is a small, lightweight, and simple laser level tool. It’ll make hanging pictures or other DIY tasks a doddle. Stanley Cubix Laser Level review features a magnetic base, which allows hands-free use, and a large base plate, which offers a stable working platform. When it comes to accuracy, the KT360A is ideal for the keen DIYer. The accuracy is measured to ± 3 mm/10 m and has an automatic levelling range of ± 4 °. I used my spirit level to see if I could find any deviation, but everything seemed spot on from a metre up to 5 metres away. Accessories For example, some products may only offer an easy setup, while others may require frequent calibration. So choose carefully.

It’s powered by a pair of included AA batteries and boasts 20 hours of use before you need to swap them out. The laser doesn’t sit on top of the unit like the more expensive Kaiweets level, but for this price, it’s the ideal instrument for hanging pictures or even setting out timber studs accurately.

The Stanley Cubix laser level is a line/point level that supports tripod mounting. It has a levelling accuracy of ±0.8mm/m and a maximum range of 8m. The laser beam is red in color and can be directed horizontally or vertically. It has two laser lines and a self-levelling range of ±4°. Laser levels should be able to shoot grids on walls or mark out plumb dots, although not all have a plumb dot mode. The two buttons on the front of the level are soft touch ones that cycle through the different modes and activate the pulse mode. The MM02 mount comes with the Quigo laser level, and it steps the tool up a few notches in terms of versatility. You can attach the mount to a wide range of structures, like a step ladder, and use the fine adjustment wheel for ultimate accuracy. Build Quality: I examined how well it was built and if the unit was covered with a protective layer like rubberised plastic to improve its durability. I tested how sturdy its mounting system was, giving sturdier mounting systems a higher rating.
