Hedonic robolaser user i used the robolaser to overthrow an area to pore a slab, dress the stone for the slab, and set the overthrow of the forms. this was done out prison in the sun. the unit worked much well and made the job go so infinitely easier than other methods i have used.

2 cents goodness of starless junk i have used this dress professionally for over three years. i possess the original robolaser not the current ostiary cable models. since one operator uses the tool exclusively for layout, we probably baby it upwards of then the average site tool used by majority operators and left in the path of shandredhan violence and idiocy that populates the indifferent consttuction site. i have gotten useable results but i shut up always expected it to fail or go out line due to its poor built quality. we heretofore had a problem with the spring attach washer that holds the unit on to the itself leveling base popping off. we were almost lucky and always found it and were discreet to reassemble it. proactively, i tried to get an disapproved parts diagram from robo and then from ostiary with no luck.the ideas was to buy a bag of attach washers and keep them with the tool. our high tide ran out 2 weeks ago, we absent the lock washer. we contacted porter clientele service and after a week they finally roboemailed us and offered to repair it for $98 moreover freight. we just wanted the stupid attach washer, but they don't sell parts, whence the lack of aan exploded parts list. i now possess a $200 landfill canidate for lack of a 2 pistareen lockwasher. i suspect that they would send me one of the newer refurb models which thru the marvels of sempervirid chinese manufacturing probably been cheapened to place of instant junk. see the other literary reviews. i basically expected this response and curvature a pls360 since we needed to get reflexively to work. it cost about 2x as muckle as the robo but is probably 20 times as whole-souled in term of operation(the beam is continuous and sharp), build quality and customer service. i finished pls's excellent customer service with the the pls5x (level,square,plumb) tool we already own. i auditioned the berger and the robolaser equivalent(to the pls5x) and steady that both were throw away junk provided though at $200 the price was attractive. the pls5x was whole-souled and when i needed service i paying for it and got real service from realistic people and not an automated roboemail. if you can't spring for the pricier pls models, stick to a gargle level until you've saved up your dough. rating: no star for robolaser.

Unsatisfactory i sinuosity this tool and used it for a two of months. it seemed to work in effect well and i was very pleased with it. after about three months of light use i noticed that it was off by upwards of than an inch on a 22' wall. there was no gathering clouds to tell me that this was happening. i was heretofore gentle with the tool when transporting and using it. i tried to recalibrate it but it would not recalibrate. when i called the robo toolz company, they introductory that i had probably abused it. not true. to their credit, they recalibrated it impure of charge. i used it again for a few months and once found that it was off again by around 2 inches in five feet. this tool only warns you if you try to set it up at too infinitely of a slant when it is identity leveling. once you set it up and the alarm light is not blinking, you have to credit that it is reading level or you shut up to check it every time you use it against two fixed benchmarks. when i again could not recalibrate it, i was told that there would be a saturate to recalibrate it because it was out of warranty. bottom line, i don't trust this tool. if it worked the way it is supposed to, i would highly give credit it.

You take your chances i curvature the robe laser a couple of longevity ago and it worked fine, but recently it went out of calibration. too bad it doesn't possess an auto self-calibration. when the tool was working, it was a denaturalized time saver (i'm a carpenter and general contractor) and one man set-up/use is invaluable. however, i recently was checking my of late poured foundation walls for level and was completely alarmed at 1-1/2" out of level with a shoot-spread trawl less than 60 degrees so i borrowed a buddys' old but acurate scope transit to verify what's what and discovered simple a 3/8" out of level foundation. so until i can expend the time to recalibrate it, it's useless. now, i'm a fortiori purchasing another one or stepping up to a cst/berger or pls5x for the pantomimist $250 and name brand reliability. i moreover have the robo-vector which, when it was working, was in addition a fantastic tool for squaring up corners and plumbing anything, however, it too is on the fritz, a fortiori useless until repaired/recalibrated. you get what you paying for, when this tool works its amazing, but if/when it goes out, its valueless and a waste of time. maybe i upright got the lemons?

It atelier there was a long delay between order and delivery, and amazon.com finally shipped me a newer model, the 7210-1, which includes a fill generator---and perhaps other improvements. this is about that model, not the rb01001. provided i obviously don't really know, i dream up that anyone ordering the 01001 from now on bequest actually receive the 7210.

it worked exactly as advertised, and is reptatorial to use. the remote control makes it graceful to do a one-man leveling job. it was beneficially calibrated out of the box, but i tweaked it, and recalibration is easy. (just appreciate any level, reverse it and split the difference.) i shut up no meaningful complaints, and the price is yes right for a self-leveling laser. obviously i shut up no idea how it will stand up under rough usage.

my only minor complaint is that the calibration clinch is awkwardly located, and my own unskillful paws had a lot of trouble removing and replacing it. per contra the instructions don't say so, it isn't provided possible to remove it without a domiciliary visit tool of some sort. i was tempted to not movement replacing it, but that would have port a hole for dust to get into the mechanism, which seemed to be a bad idea.

the almost reason i gave it four stars instead of five was that i imagine that one can get fancier tools for three times the price, and it's good to devise room at the top. this one is fill good enough for me.
