When building a deck, it must be level for a multitude of reasons. However, it can be difficult to do so, especially if you have a hilly yard. Makita’s 12V CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Self-Leveling 360-Degree 3-Plane Red Laser Level does all the guesswork of taking accurate and consistent measurements with a self-leveling feature of up to four degrees. Additionally, it’s completely versatile with three different planes of lasers to work with: horizontal, vertical, and a cross target.
There are two color options that are sold separately for this laser — red and green. The red has a max visible range of 82 feet and the green has 115 feet. It also comes with three brightness settings, which gives you the option to balance battery life and brightness. There are also multiple mounting options due to the 1/4 and 5/8 inch tripod threads. Pro Tool Reviews gives this self-leveling laser a 9.8/10 and mentions that there are no significant drawbacks to be found.
