Pro Quality Tool for DIY Cost
By BD
After considerable research on the available self adjusting "chalk line" laser levels I chose the "David White" (48-M2XT) version of the CST/Berger 58-ILMXT.Quality & Pricing: Both companies are subsidiaries of Robert Bosch Co. and I think that says something right off the bat about quality. The M2XT and the ILMXT are identical units with a price edge to the M2XT.Capabilities: Both units provide a horizontal, vertical, and crosshair lines by pushing the power button to cycle through these choices. What really nice is that these units also provide a fourth option that is a manual "tilted" crosshair that allows for the unit to be tilted beyond its 5 degree self adjusting limit so that croshairs can be projected on ceilings and high up on wall if needed. Other chalk line lasers will simply start to flash and freak out once their self adjustment limit is exceeded.The levels have a nice large 130 degree vertical "lens" opening that in the self adjusting mode will allow the vertical line to "spill over" onto the ceiling above the unit and allow for overhead layouts as well as floor and wall layouts. You may have to move the unit and realign it with prior ceiling layout marks on long runs but I consider that a minor issue seeing as other chalk line units dont throw a ceiling line at all.Both units can be used out doors in "flashing mode" with an accessory laser detector (again the laser detector unit is identical but with different branding) to allow deck, window, exterior layouts. Look for the Int/Ext kits to get the laser detector if youre so inclined, otherwise it can be purchased separately at a later time. The laser detector itself is very well thought out and actually has high mark low mark audible alarms!The only nitpicky gripe I have (and reason for the missing 5th star) is that there are not micro adjustment's for the vertical and horizontal lines built onto these lasers. However, that missing feature is quite common in chalk line lasers. The only one I've seen this on was the Ryobi AirLock ($49) which I intially considered before deciding to invest in a bit more quality. I am using a LP12-UM LaserPole Leveling Platform as my interior stand and that unit does have micro adjust features for pan (vertical) and horizontal adjustments. The included mini tripod functions for smaller (not so tall) layouts and is quite well made. The magnetic adaptor is strong and useful. A velcro strap is also supplied as a standard item.The difference in price for a lot of a lot of lasers is the brilliance of the lasers and thickness of line. The twin 635nm red diodes in the M2XT and the ILMXT "outshine" many and is one of the reasons it can be used outside with a laser detector. The nice thin line coupled with a better than most accuracy of 3/32" at 30'(NOT 3/32' @ 100' as listed on Amazon) were two more of the many reasons I ended up spending $195 here at Amazon(a deal IMHO)for this quality tool.It is well made. I expect it to last a good long time with proper care.
