GF360G Laser Level

I purchased this laser for setting out first fix work but mainly for installs for fitted furniture that I build. Item arrived promptly, as expected with prime. It comes with a padded protective case with shoulder strap, the laser, a target card, a base that can hand on screws or attach to metal with magnets, a rechargeable battery pack, power lead & charger. Easy to set up, didn't need the instructions. First impressions are that it seems well made, the lines are consistent and quite bright. I used them in an 8m long by 4.5m wide workshop to install a mezzanine floor. It worked well, double checked with a 2m level and all spot on. Lines are a little faded at around 5m away, wouldn't want to use them much beyond 10m to be honest but it was a bright day, even though the job was internal. Only criticism is the battery, I managed to put it in the wrong way, there's a very small notch that clears a small tab, I didn't notice that and put it in and got it stuck. However, managed to remove and still works perfectly (thank goodness!). I'd say it's worth the money, has decent features and looks robust. I look after all my tools so it should be fine for years to come 👍

Having used the Bosch and dewalt Laser levels in the past, I was concerned that this one seemed to be low cost. Out of the box, it was really obvious that it is a well made product. Feels solid and fits nicely in its carry case. I charged the battery as detailed in the simple instruction manual and away I went. Firstly, I set out against known mark ups on site. I needed to confirm that it was accurate. It's spot on, dead accurate and perfectly clear. The repeater is brilliant when setting out in larger rooms and in bright daylight settings. I use this for setting our bathrooms and pipe runs and as with any tool, as you find something that works well, you use it more and more. I purchased the fine adjustment base too and it's so much better than tweaking the whole unit back and forth until you get it right. Quick to set up and easy to get in the right position first time. Three dimensional set out lines are brilliant and easy to set up. Dr setting out suspended drainage runs, the lock feature is a must, allowing you to fix a line with a gradient. This will definitely spend more time in use than in the box and I would recommend it to any tradesman as a tool that will make a difference every day you use it.

I wanted this to help to make a footing for a garden wall in addition to the usual stuff that you'd need a level for indoors. I was going to go for a Bosch (more expensive, great reviews, and I already use Bosch tools) but I looked at this one and a couple of others with a similar number of 5-star reviews. It has large and small screw holes underneath - the small one IS for any standard photographic tripod (another reviewer said otherwise; I've got a Cullmann and a Manfrotto, the latter used in the vid). As another has mentioned, it worked straight out of the box as the battery was already charged. You just pull off the insulating plastic strip from the battery and switch on. Switch the pendulum lock (for transport) off and it self-levels. It was as precise as claimed in the bumpf. I tilted the tripod head within the 4-degree range and the laser was accurate each time. The promo videos show how bright it looks on nice pale indoor surfaces, but the vid here gives an idea how it looks outside against dark wood or soil rather than white walls, so a green laser was necessary for that instead of a red one, I think. Dead handy.

Really great bit of kit. Great value for money compared to other more expensive beans. And it does exactly the same job! Would definitely recommend!

Great, thanks

I bought this tool a couple of years ago. I've used it frequently, for various DIY tasks, and I feel a little guilty that I've not left a product review. I was on the edge of buying this laser level for months. I had the suspicion that it would be helpful in many ways but I didn't know if I could justify the cost. I eventually went for it and I'm really chuffed that I did. I've used this for levelling floors, hanging picture rails and shelves, installing kitchen units, chasing in and installing electrical sockets and many, many more tasks. I almost bought a cheaper model that didn't have the 360 degree function that this does but I'm so glad I didn't. Pressing the power button and having a full 360 degree perfectly level line to work to, along with extremely accurate vertical lines at 90 degrees is incredibly useful. Just today I used this to mark out the position of ceiling joists in preperation for fitting new plasterboard to a water damaged ceiling. Attaching the laser unit to my camera tripod (the mounts are included) I was able to extend the line of visible joists under the old plasterboard and set out the 90 degree cuts needed for a nice square finish fot the new boards to be installed. Yes, I could do this with a square, but this laser makes it so much easier. The controls couldn't be simpler. Unlock the pendant and the device goes into automatic levelling mode. So long as you have the base unit within 4 degrees of level, the auto system will give you a highly visible green line that's perfectly horizontal. There are also two other lines, both vertical and at 90 degrees to each other, so you get an all round 'box' to mark out to. You can leave the pendant locked and the unit then becomes a very useful straight line marker. You can have the lines set to any angle you like and mark out stair rails, tiling, walls etc. To remind you that the unit isn't self levelling, the green lines 'blink' every few seconds. At first I found this irritating and wished it could be turned off. With experience of using the laser level I now think it's an essential addition and a very clever function. It would be so easy to make a mistake without it! All in all a great buy. It's one of those tools that I don't use daily, but when I do need it I'm extremely grateful to have it to hand.
