- Great when it works, but not reliable
- When the laser is operating at full intensity, the tool is very useful. More often, however, the laser dims dramatically and I have to tap the case several times to restore the proper brightness. The slightest vibration causes the laser to dim again, frustrating my attempts to use this tool.
If I had it to do over again, I would gladly pay more for a higher quality laser tool. - 2006-06-30, 6 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- It worked exactly as claimed!
- I picked up my STRAIT-LINE Intersect Laser Level at Wal-Mart on one of my 3:00 AM "I can't sleep, I'm going to Wally World to see what's on the Clearance Aisles" forays. (It's funny how my ex-girlfriend once called this one of my "charming idiosyncrasies" but more recently has declared it to be "aberrant behavior".) I bought the level solely because it had been marked down from $48.73 to $15.00.
I didn't have an immediate use for the level, so after showing off my plunder I put it the "Fling Room". (The Fling Room is an extra room in which all things that don't have a proper place to be stored are "flung". This does a remarkable job of eliminating clutter in the rest of the house. You fling stuff in, and periodically sort some things out and find a permanent place for them. My ex deemed this to be abhorrent behavior.
I decided that I should partition off the end of the solarium for a new fling room and convert the current fling room back into a guestroom. I needed to mark off a right angle - using the Theorem of Pythagoras - but I didn't have a dummy for the other end of my chalk line. I remembered the intersect level and used it to start my project. It worked exactly as claimed.
My level now has a permanent place to live where it is readily available. Additional uses for it are limited only by imagination. An example: I have another lady friend who is an obsessive-compulsive picture straightened. Before I know she is coming over, it is very easy to hold the level against the wall and level or plumb artwork, photographs, and mirrors. She has a very good eye and can see that nothing is out of line. It must drive her nuts.
Pythagoras brings something to mind. There were once three Indian squaws on the reservation that were with child at the same time. As luck would have it, they all gave birth on the same cold, cold winter day. The first squaw had an eight-pound boy and her brave presented her with a deer skin to keep them warm and cozy. Then the second squaw had another eight-pound boy and her brave supplied her with an antelope skin to protect them from the cold. Finally, after a long labor, the third squaw gave birth to a sixteen-pound son. Her brave gave her a hippopotamus skin. This illustrates that the son of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. - 2006-01-31, 16 of 28 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- It works!
- This product works as advertised....no more crooked shelves for me! As a woman who struggles with home repairs any kind of help I can adopt is wonderful and when it works this well, it is welcomed.

- Did not work right from begining
- Only one line; horizontal, was focused but other two vertical lines were out of focus. This defeats the purpose of this product.
After 3-4 use laser lines won't turn on, I had to shake it a bit to turn on laser light beams. - 2005-08-10, 7 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Laser light keeps flickering and dimming
- The price is right, the features are useful, but one of the most important characteristics, the visability of the laser line I found poor. It sometimes dims, the horizontal lines don't line up exactly, and the laser lines put down are a bit wide -- compared to my $10 no-frills laser straight line. I have to smack my unit around to get the red lasers to brighten when it will inexplicably get dim all by themselves -- yes, I did take the plastic safety insert out of the laser. Seems like I got a shoddy/defective unit.
If I had purchased it from a brick & morter I would definitely bring it back for a swap. - 2005-06-15, 8 of 13 people found this review helpful, Rated:
