DEWALT DW088K Review.

I like taking my time, manually using my tools and thinking cap to reach the end product. I gave in to
DEWALT DW088K Self-Leveling Cross Line Laser when overwhelmed with re-habilitate work. 

DEWALT DW088K

This product made me sigh with relief. This made re-leveling ceilings/floors a breeze and also keeps your hands free to use other needed tools. Very bright line, and easy leveling. You basically need 1/4 of a brain to figure out how/where to clamp it and you're set. Nicely made and very nice protective case.

It improves productivity and consistency on the job site. Ideal for professionals tasked with residential and commercial applications such as installing floor and wall tile or mapping wall layout.

The laser projects bright crossing horizontal and vertical lines with accuracy within 1/8 of an inch at 30 feet. Its full-time pulse mode allows for use with a detector, maintaining full brightness for visibility while extending the working range of the laser to 165 feet.  

Features And Specifications:

• Projects bright crossing horizontal and vertical lines,
• Full-Time Pulse Mode Allows Use with Detector,
• Over-molded housing and IP54 water/debris resistance,
• Integrated Magnetic Pivoting Base with 1/4" Thread,
• Self-Leveling Cross Lines,
• 165-Foot Range with Detector,
• 1/8-Inch Accuracy.

The DW088K features a durable design with over-molded housing and IP54 water/debris resistance. Its built-in magnetic pivoting base and 1/4-inch thread make for easy mounting on metal surfaces. The laser includes individual buttons on the side control panel that operate all three beams, and it comes with a hard-sided kit box for storage and transport.

 

This laser has been a huge time saver at work. I also have another laser but this one is my go to laser for framing, acoustic ceilings etc. The only bad i have to say is outside use is hard unless you get the detector. So many uses for checking plumb and level. The self leveling pendulum system is like the PLS lasers and in my opinion it doesn't affect accuracy unless you just abuse your tools. 

 

It does exactly what I wanted. Really useful - lots of people i work with are now asking to use it. Came well-calibrated out of the box, passed all calibration tests easily. The instructions for the tests were very good.

The ability to shoot the laser straight up and a couple feet behind itself is a feature that puts it above its competition.

As with any laser line / laser level, you have to be aware of parallax error. It's best to shine it straight onto your target at a 90-degree angle, since the projection will be straight regardless of the target profile that way. The classic example is trying to hand a picture on a wall that's leaning, and projecting a vertical line from an off-angle. The line will project straight onto the crooked wall, and as a result appear crooked. This is a factor common to ALL optical tools, but is easily rectified once you understand the cause by simply re-positioning the laser.

I've used it so far to hang and level cabinets, and lay tile. For cabinet hanging, a large beam level would have been fine to bridge all the walkways and ensure the counters and cabinets were level to each other. But for the tile work, there is really no replacement for a good laser level. You can snap a chalk line, but it just gets covered by the grout as you go. The laser continues to project on the surface as you go, making it so easy to get good straight tile lines running up the wall.

I found 127 customer reviews on Amazon at the time of writing and they had awarded the DEWALT DW088K Self-Leveling Cross Line Laser, 4.8 stars out of a possible 5.0 stars on average.

For me, DW088K is the best in the group of lase level, best construction, best price and ease to use in the job. I tried bosh Stanley and others but in my experience this is the best..so definitely u can buy this product. It is really 100 per 100 excellent product.

  It can be used for framing, subfloor leveling, hanging drywall, marking stud locations, or any number of other activities.
