3-Point Green Laser Kit

Just got it and I love it. Seems way more durable than the older PLS3 versions. The green laser seems a bit dimmer than the older version, but still way brighter than the old PLS3 red or my old Bosch.

easy to use, very accurate

Perfect for what we use it.

This is a very nicely built tool. It's sturdy and drop tested to 1m - although of course, drops are best avoided with tools like this because of the delicate internal mechanism. The best feature of this leveler is that the laser is mounted in a self-leveling gimbal so as long as you have the unit within 4 degrees of level, the laser will be perfectly level. And if you're not within 4 degrees of level, the unit will warn you about it by shutting off (unless you have pendulum lock mode on).This particular unit is a 3-point plumb line kit, so it only produces dots, not a full laser line. You could upgrade to the PLS 6G kit and get a point and line laser system for plumb lines, leveling, and square alignment. It's quite a bit more expensive but gives you a lot more versatility so that would be a worthy upgrade if you can afford it.You can also get a red laser version of this kit, but the green is a lot easier to see outdoors. The only downside with the green is that it uses up the batteries faster, but you still get 16 hours (vs 30 hours with the red laser), which is more than enough.The unit runs off three AA batteries, which are included. They included Duracell batteries, which I appreciate.The power button could get turned on by mistake when you pack it away, so I always take out the batteries before storing it. Also, make sure to put the laser in "lock" mode to protect it in storage or transit. I don't see this mentioned in the product manual but it's important to protect the inner pendulum.The yellow toolbox is nice enough but it's way bigger than it needs to be. There's an empty storage compartment in the lid that you could use to store smaller items like pens, etc.The one thing I dislike is that there is no printed manual included. You have to go to the PLS website to download a PDF. Also there's no indication of how to open the battery pack - I figured it out but it's not immediately obvious (you have to pry it open in the little slot at the top).

No instructions a few pictures , don’t know where the battery compartment is or how to open it. I guess I’ll go online and see since they can’t seem to put simple instructions in on a $299 laser.
