Huepar 902CG Cross Line Laser Level 2x360° Self-Leveling Laser Leveler, 2D Green Cross Line Lazer Level with Pulse Mode, Switchable Horizontal and Vertical, Magnetic Pivoting Base Included

UPDATE: I had to upgrade my review to 5 stars, this unit is really great, I can always downgrade if I run into any reliability issues in the future but I want to be completely fair, this product rocks and made life easy for me on the job I used it for. Absolutely no complaints, at this point I would buy this again if given the chance for a do over. I wanted to try one of these to help expedite the targeting of the installation of chair railing in a 12 x 22 foot office and thought I would try this particular 360 degree self leveling unit. It has very good visibility indoors and works really well. It is simple to use and get familiar with and I'm sure I will find many more uses for it in the future. I'm unable to speak to the long term reliability as I have only had it a little while so if I experience any issues I update this review. The case holds everything neatly including a place for an extra set of batteries. If I was to be picky I think that the case could have a bit more padding and a handle on one end would be a useful addition to the case itself but again not in any way a deal breaker, in fact the extra room allows me to store my laser measuring unit with it keeping them both tucked away and a little protected and best of all I can keep them together which is a benefit to me when I need to reach for them I know that which ever one I need will be ready for me in this one compact case. I'm a DIYer so it won't get a lot if regular use but if you're in need of one I would recommend this product, despite being a DIYer my time is limited and important to me so having this unit has been a huge time saver and I appreciate that. I can't imagine how the more expensive (some 4 to 5 times more expensive) units from some of the better known name brands could be much better, for now I think for the DIYer they would be a huge waste of money, this product seems to work great and at a much more reasonable price. I'm thankful Huepar is offering this at a much more attainable price point! I suppose one could get into a nitty-gritting discussion about it's overall brightness or how fine a line it produces and some random distance but I can assure those who are wondering - this unit works great and did not cause me any concern the lines were bright and clear and very distinct. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to friends and relatives if they were in the market for such an item.

My first laser level! I picked this up (along with it's partner the LR-6RG laser detector) to help with installing a rainwater harvesting system. I got the basic one because I didn't need three planes, this simple one (one plane and one vertical) was all I needed. I needed to make sure a second set of tanks were at the right level as the first set. The tanks will be about 25 yards apart so a traditional level would not work. The photos show the overall setup and the laser target board I put in as a reference near the pad for the second set of tanks.The detector worked great in daylight but when the target board was not in direct sun I was still (barely) able to see the laser without the detector. Good brightness! You don't really need a white target board but in this case I was able to see the laser directly which was helpful because I hadn't used a laser level before.I have already used the laser level for another simpler project inside. The laser level has a lot of advantages for many projects compared to a traditional level.

The media could not be loaded. Caveat; I haven’t used it in the field, just did a couple of quick tests after taking it out of the box. First impression, it seems like a well built tool. Looks to be easy to set up, not complicated, and the buttons are sturdy. For interior work, the laser is really bright. Outside on a sunny day though, it’s almost invisible against the side of my house at ten feet. Not great. I bet with the green glasses it would be totally visible. I bought the receiver too, for shooting grade. At a distance of 30ish feet it worked great, so that totally saves it. For my purposes I think it will work out fine. I can shoot grade with it, and use it for interior work. For the price it’s a win.

Pros:Green Laser-significantly easier to see under many conditionsCross beam and 360 degree all in one at reasonable priceFantastic indoorsAppears solidly builtCompact designLaser detector card can be beneficialNice mount includedCons​:Weaker performance outdoors but many models suffer degradationGreen lasers usually drain batteries quickerFaint "ghost" parallel vertical laser lineThe single button for all operation modes and features can be confusing at timesI am impressed with the 901CG at this point. I have put it through several real world situations and I find that it performs quite well as long as you are not comparing it to models costing 2X-4X the price. It is fantastic indoors even in brightly lit rooms but it is limited outdoors. Indoors all surfaces and surface colors show acceptably bright precise laser beams. Less reflective colors or surfaces mute the laser brightness to some extent and eventually so does distance. If I have situations with large rooms and dark or less reflective colors or surfaces then keeping lighting to a minimum will easily get the job done. I also own the 9211G and this model is considerably brighter under all conditions.Using it outdoors will generally require some give and take. Again lighter surfaces work much better. Good luck in full direct sunlight. On an overcast day I find 10-15 feet is max on a darker surface and that requires getting up close to see the beam if your project will allow. If your activity can utilize this then I would suggest using the provided laser detector card and angling it slightly to the beams which will significantly increase the visibility. If it is that critical using a $130 laser then get an electronic laser line/level receiver or detector(Laserometer) to help and then use the Outdoor Pulse Mode function.Couple of suggestions-keep pendulum locked during transport and consider upgrading to a decent set of rechargeable batteries.
