1Disappointed AgainJan 25, 2008
By Trants4md
For thirty years I have been a General Contractor. This is the third (tool box) laser I have brought to hopefully make my life easier, yet I have not found any of these small units to be as advertised. (I say "tool box" because I do own some very expensive "large" self leveling laser units for excavation and construction that are very good)

AUTO leveling! FAT CHANCE! Not even close. Yes, it does have a sight gage in the front that gives you "an indication" of where level might be.

This too was very poorly designed. HARD TO READ. There is no actual mark to show THE LEVEL POINT or really where you are on the gage, only a series of hash marks. These marks are not balanced from one side to the other either. (There is an odd downward line intersecting the gage at 14 degrees right, which serves no purpose. This may be a manufacturing flaw, if so strike three.) You are left to guess where in these hash marks you should place this very poorly designed alignment mark to be set at level. As this mark is not within the gage itself, it is totally subjective.

I found I still had to measure the distance to the floor in several locations to see how level I was, and I wasn't! (This only works if the floor is level.)

ANGLE PRO, MAYBE! An angle is what you get! Look elsewhere. This is a waste.

The mounting pin is a problem to keep out to mount it and has no relevance to the laser height you are trying to achieve. I had thought maybe its pendulum style mount would work as a plumb-bob to level it but no such luck!

5Very Good, but the BDL310 is better.Dec 08, 2006
By Mark Twain
I have both the BDL170 and the BDL310. They are both lovely because you don't need to rely on a bubble level to get the tool level. Instead, level is automatic. The big difference between the two is that the BDL310 does both horizontal and vertical at the SAME TIME. That has saved me a huge amount of time. Just search for BDL310 and compare for yourself.

5Self Leveling Feature is a Good ThingFeb 22, 2007
By J. Gray
I recently purchased this unit to establish straight level lines around the perimeter of a living room. The self leveling feature makes this very easy. There is no need to fuss over getting the unit perfectly leveled as the projected laser line will adjust accordingly.

In those cases where you want a straight line between two known points, not necessarily a horizontal level or vertical plumb line, the self leveling feature can be turned off.

The built-in protractor can be useful for establishing various line angles from the horizontal.

I am very pleased with the BDL170.

1Worked at first, now is off by a degreeJun 24, 2011
By DIY Home Improver
This product worked for a couple of projects without a problem. I set it in storage for a couple of months before I used it again. It was not abused during this time, just sat in the protective box that it was shipped in.

Then I pulled it out to set the lines for a counter top I installed in my wife's craft room. I lined everything up, drilled the holes in the wall, and put the counter top on. Then I stood back to look at my work...and it didn't look right. It seemed just a little off. I put a marble on the counter, and it immediately rolled off. I went out to my shed, pulled out a trusty bubble level and set it on the counter. The bubble confirmed the marble, and I had to tear apart all my work, patch all my holes, and start over.

In disbelief, I put the auto-leveling laser up on a flat wall and drew a line and compared it with the bubble level. It was off just a little, but just a little is just enough. I'm really sad, because when this worked well, there was nothing quicker or easier.

2The AnglePro feature is uselessMay 12, 2008
By Grant "Grant"
While the auto leveling feature works fine (checked with a 4' level and a water level at 34'), the AnglePro function is off by about 3 degrees (at 8 feet it's off by 4") which is plainly visible just by eye.

I haven't decided if I'm going to return it or take it apart and see if I can adjust it. Also as already mentioned in another review, the center mark is very hard to see. I might try to paint it with thinned out model paint (if I don't return the unit).
