STANLEY Cubix Cross Line Red Beam Laser STHT77498-1

Product Information

Horizontal laser levelling line accuracy is an important feature – this is specified in mm/m, with lower numbers more favourable. The best laser levels are accurate to within +/-0.2 mm/m. Bear in mind that this laser doesn’t come with a tripod. It’s an essential accessory to have if you want to use a laser level, in my opinion. It means you can use your laser on uneven ground, and if you have a tripod with an adjustable height centre column, it’s the easiest way to fine adjust the laser height. The Stanley Cubix Laser Level comes with 2 powerful precision lasers that provide consistent, accurate readings. 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.

What makes this a great DIYers laser is just how simple it is to use. Because there aren’t lots of modes, the whole thing is activated with a single switch. You’re not going to accidentally turn it on inside the case like some lasers with soft touch buttons. 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°. There are three laser modules on this level. You get a horizontal one mounted on the top, and two vertical lasers mounted on the front and side of the unit. You can turn on each laser individually, or cycle through the different modes to shine lasers across the floor, walls, and ceiling. The first laser automatically adjusts to the level of the terrain for ease of use, whether you’re on uneven terrain or on the level.

My Top Recommended Laser Levels

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. 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 6: Once you have reached the middle mark, move the end away from the object and read the value displayed on the LCD screen.

Green laser levels have a longer working range than red lasers and are brighter and easier to use outdoors. However, they are that much more expensive. I tested the Kaiweets KT360A laser level out around my house, in the garden, and further away outside in the twilight to get a good idea about how this laser level performs in different environments. I used my own tripod as a stable base because it fits the stand perfectly, and one is not included. 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.

Charging is done via USB-C, which is much faster compared with old style micro USB connectors you might be more familiar with. USB C can provide up to 100 Watts of charging power, which makes short work of topping up the inbuilt battery. This product comes with many benefits for both homeowners and professionals. These include but not limited to: Running on four AA batteries, you won’t have any trouble finding replacements when you run out of power. If you have spares, there’s no downtime either. The laser level comes in a soft pouch. It isn’t going to keep everything completely safe but it’s better than not having one at all. The mounting system uses magnets, but you can just screw it directly into a standard ¼” tripod stand if you want. 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

So before buying any product, make sure you know what your needs are. Then compare them against those listed above so that you can decide which one suits your requirements best. The laser level measures 12 x 14 x 10 cm and weighs just a shade over 1 kg at 1049 g with the universal base attached. Compared with some tiny laser levels on the market this one’s quite chunky, but with the three laser modules on board, you couldn’t make it much smaller if you tried. Step 4: Adjust the laser beam so that it hits the target point. This means making sure that the tip of the wand touches the edge of the object. 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°.
