Owners praise the laser's intuitive operation and solid core build, but tripod construction and grade rod durability are weak points that undermine the overall package.

In their words

Super easy purchase process and it was delivered quickly. I really like the laser. Simple to setup and use. The receiver is pretty nice too. We used it to set grade for this wall!

Jason · verified purchase · tigersupplies.com

Overall this product has worked as expected. The laser level itself seems to be built very well and is easy to use. The tri-pod legs work ok, but they are cheaply made compared to competitors I have used in the past. The main downfall I have with my order is the grade rod. When unboxing the grade rod, the black plastic pieces that wrap around the tops of each section had multiple pieces broken off
