Pro Tool Reviews: Laser levels serve an important role across a variety of industries, especially in new construction and renovations. Well, a few years back, DeWalt introduced the first iteration of this 3×360 laser level and its design and performance definitely impressed our team. Now, they’ve released the updated DeWalt 20V XR 3×360 Line Laser Level, boasting huge improvements in performance and accuracy.

I really love laser levels, because once you know what they can do they become insanely useful. I’ve used them in jobs from hanging drop ceilings and sistering floor joists to laying out speaker clusters or putting in flooring. Most of my experience is with both Bosch and Milwaukee laser levels. The Milwaukee level is impeccable, at least in my experience. It was insanely accurate, had an incredible range, and different modes to use depending on the job. Bosch’s level seemed to be lacking, or maybe it was dropped a few times. It wasn’t perfectly level, and it seemed to be cheaply constructed in the first place. This DeWalt level looks a lot more versatile than any I’ve seen. The screw mount and magnet immediately caught my eye. There have been times in the past when I needed something just like that. I’ve also never gotten a chance to use a laser detector with a laser level before. It sounds really interesting; I hope I can get my hands on one someday.
This is a very impressive and versatile tool. I don't have much experience in using laser levels, butI would love to explore the options that they open up. I am always fascinated with laser levels, and how useful they are. I can't quite imagine when I would need to use a laser level at 300ft away, but I'm sure it comes in handy in certain scenarios. On that note, I wonder how the detector works?
The range of mounting options must be really helpful. I also really liked the feature that allowed you to adjust the vertical beam with a knob. That would definitely save time and some headaches. In a lot of cases, when you are trying to manually adjust a device like that, it takes a lot of guess and check which can be painstaking, and wastes a lot of useful time. Overall, this seems like a great tool with a lot of improvements to previous devices.
I’m not very familiar with laser levels, so this was a really interesting read - especially regarding the accuracy! This article claims it surpasses the industry standard by far, by cutting in half-and-then-some the tolerance. Since laser levels, to my understanding, are better for more long-distance measuring rather than smaller tasks, that improvement in accuracy is monumental over such a short period of time. It runs for 10 hours for all three lasers, which is also impressive (and is probably very useful in the workplace). The feature in which you can easily select the specific laser you want at any given time - rather than clicking a singular button many times - is enticing alongside a fine adjustment knob. There seem to be a surplus of ways to mount the level, and I’m wondering in what situations each respective mount should be used. Regardless, it’s nice to not be limited to using one hand to hold a traditional level every time you make a mark. Then again, one may risk human error when using the laser level, given the ground or whatever style of mounting isn’t level itself.
