Laser works excellent however receiver never worked. I really didn't have time to return this and wait for a replacement. I used another receiver I had and the laser has great battery life and has been the most accurate I have had. It's a shame the other part was doa.

Used it to level out a pad I was building. First time ever using one and got it done with no issue. Very easy to learn and use.

I bought this and put it right to work.I use it on the average, once a week..The batteries (2 D batteries) it came with, didn't last an hour. Once I put new energizers in it, I haven't had to change them yet. It's been over a month. I originally had a DeWalt manual level laser. When it went bad I called a DeWalt service center, he advise me "off the record" to buy this one. It was "the best bang for the buck". I paid $380.00. To fix my old one it would have been $200.00. And this new one is auto level!When you turn this baby on, you can hear the gears spinning/leveling for about 3-5 seconds, then voala! I tested it out of level as well. If it's knocked out of level, it stops, re-levels and then continues. The only problem this posses, is if it's knocked too far off, and you don't notice, you might throw all your new measurements off because it won't have the same zero as your original mark... Anyway, over all, a big fat 5! Saves tons more time over the old one, and I actually have learned to like the D batteries over the rechargeables due to not having to worry about extra charged batteries. The energizer D batts are the way to go!

I have a regular transit and I haven't checked to see how level this thing really levels itself yet, but for everything I've had to do it has work fantastic, it works just like it should.I'm not an engineer so I don't know what kind of sophisticated electronic engineering went into this bad boy, it seems like it might be overpriced, but it does exactly what I want it to do, and it was the most affordable one I could find that I might actually trust to do the job.It levels itself in seconds and starts spinning.In the daylight I can't see the laser, but the included sensor picks up the line just fine, and the beep is loud enough to hear fine over the sound of a running backhoe. (its pretty darn loud)Works fine inside a building, wish it had a remote to turn it on and off.
