“Very disappointed with dewalt laser especially since I have all my tools for tiling like grinders and other battery stuff but this laser originally died before the one year warranty and had ir replaced. New one I received died a year after and now I went to dewalt factory store and was told they can offer me a trade up one for about $300. I had originally paid $200 for mine. I am beyond disappoint”
