The DEWALT 20V MAX* Tool Connect™ Green Tough Rotary Laser (DW080LGS) features Bluetooth® connectivity, which allows it to connect to the Tool Connect™ app for approximate location tracking and tool customization features. With an IP67 debris/water resistance, two meter drop protection, and a highly-visible green beam, the Tough Rotary Laser performs in adverse jobsite conditions and provides an accuracy of +/- 1/16” at 100 feet. It has an interior range of 250 feet or an exterior range of 2,200 feet with the use of a detector.
DW080LGS Green Rotary Laser In-Use
Green lasers appear brighter to the human eye and often produce a “crisper” appearance. Green lasers are more expensive and require more energy to run but the advancements in battery technology have made them far more feasible for construction lasers.
Setup / Support Options
First off the flexibility of the DW080LGS is excellent. Built with a sturdy “roll cage” the unit can sit on the ground, on it’s case, on a ladder or even on a lumber pile to quickly establish a level laser line around the project area. Working outside it has a threaded insert so it can be mounted quickly to any surveying tripod. Lastly, for ceiling installers it comes with a ceiling bracket allowing the unit to clamp quickly to suspended ceiling track.
Controls
The DEWALT DW080LGS offers both a fully functioning set of controls on the unit along with an optional remote control. Users can also connect to the unit via Bluetooth to use the Tool Connect™ app on a smart phone or tablet for a third method of controlling the laser. While this is a very robust laser packed with many options I found the controls easy to use and intuitive. Being able to use a phone is extremely useful and far easier than keeping track of a remote control especially on a busy jobsite.
Ultimately the ease of use of these advanced electronics makes them less intimidating to users. Within minutes of taking the laser out of the case I was able to get it up and running and checking our trim layout around the room.
Tool Connect™ App
DEWALT’s Tool Connect™ App allows users to link one of the DEWALT Bluetooth enabled tools to your phone or tablet. The DW080LGS offers quite a few features when linked with the Tool Connect™ App including Rotary Control (rotational speed, spread angle, and slope controls).
Povides information on the battery charge level, the laser temperature, and the last time the laser was seen. While this doesn’t provide GPS tracking, it does provide a date stamp for the last time the app device pinged the tool which can prove helpful in remembering the time and location a user last saw the device.
Laser Visibility
Green lasers are so much easier for me to see on a jobsite during bright light conditions and that seems to be a universal response from other tradesmen that I work with. Green lasers are 4-times brighter and more visible compared to traditional red lasers. Using the green laser on a recent timber frame addition was a great test as the room has lots of glass, snow covered ground outside, and bright sunshine pouring in. Even in those bright light conditions the green reference line was easy to see.
Overall Impression - DEWALT DW080LGS
The DEWALT DW080LGS 20V MAX* Tool Connect™ Green Tough Rotary Laser is a workhorse that’s easy to use and built for the rugged demands of any construction project. As a general contractor it’s imperative to have a versatile rotary laser in our arsenal. We use them for setting excavation grades, laying out walls, aligning trim, installing suspended ceiling systems and many other tasks that require level surfaces. The I:Throw in a TSTAK® case along with a remote control and remote sensor and this is an excellent rotary laser for any general contractor.
Priced at $1,999 it’s a major investment but one that will pay dividends in quality work and productivity.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.

Sweet! Another thing I dont need but totally want! Great video!
Great review again. Been thinking about a laser level for a while, now I realise that I need one of these bad boys and really want one! Thanks again.
I'm a die hard Makita user but DeWalt make great lasers and i own a couple.
I have makita tools too, their numbers are increasing because I've had some issues with dewalt tools. Love this laser but not sure if I want to buy back into dewalt?
( example My 20 year old 24v sds plus is still rocking! But new tools are jamming on switch gear, burning out or peeing grease after some gentle abuse) Don't make them like they used to 😔
Great review
How Milwaukee hasn't jumped on this train yet is minblowing
I was thinking the very same thing.
I’m heavily invested in team red, but their lack of a track saw, & a laser level, has me asking myself what’s the next best option without investing too much in another battery platform.
@@chefsteven34 Hilti is red if you love red that much.
It’s just a matter of time before I justify a purchase like this. These devices improve productivity so much. It’s not a matter of whether you need it but if it would improve productivity
Logan Patterson keep talking that sweet talk
Elijah what does that mean
Improving productivity is what I'm always thinking about as well, I like it!
Pretty bad ass laser that is for sure!
Awesome video 👍
You should do a review side by side with the Hilty Pm40
Price?
I wonder if he is getting paid to endorse this product, its such a raving review, i am sceptical
Possible to mount magnets to the mounting bracket so this can be stuck to beams up higher that what the tripod is capable? Dont want to mess with any of the electronics if they are unshielded.
Is it possible to set i.e. a 2° Slope by typing the value in via Tool Connect? Or at least a mode where it shows the programmed slope as a numerical value?
Or do I have to "click" it to the desired slope like on the laser unit itself and then check with grade rod.
A directly typed in slope would be much more convenient as to click it to the desired slope (counting the clicks) and then double check with a grade rod that all clicks have been accepted...
I dunno Rob. I think I’m gonna need you to box that puppy up and send it my way so I can confirm the accuracy of this review. If possible I’d like it to arrive by Monday 4/1.
Tioga Fretworks lol
Can you use the remote to move the laser line to a mark for setting out studs?
My blood pressure went up listening to you talk lol. Good review though.
Sorry that my sound like a silly question but can this tool provides also the same functions as the DeWalt DCE089D1G 3 Beam 3 Way Self Levelling Multi Line Laser Line Green?
Is set up good for out side construction setting concrete footings exc. in wet harsh weathers
yes
@@ConcordCarpenter
Thanks for the reply rob appreciated 😎👍🏻
1/16 Accuracy for 100 feet, what does that mean for 2000 feet?
Can someone explain?
@ 100ft the laser will provide a line which is accurate to within 1/16th of one inch
@ 200ft the laser will provide a line which is accurate to within 1/8th of one inch
@ 300ft the laser will provide a line which is accurate to within 3/16 of one inch
@ 400ft the laser will provide a line which is accurate to within 1/4 of one inch
Anyone know if another manufacturers laser line detector is compatible with this laser? I have it but find the laser is hard to pick up and slow to respond outdoors
I install Garage doors mostly, but do some windows and doors, trim, and tile but have been considering getting a Laser level.
But this may be way to big for what I need. Lol
Mark Gross look at Beiter laser. Bart DG II
@@davetaylor8614 I have never heard of them before but they do look great, been watching on UA-cam thanks for the advice.
You need dewalt 360 laser! Not this one
@@xlcarpentry6260 I have been thinking about investing into the 360, thank you.....
Bought this after watching this review. The receiver is a big disappointment.
I’m not shopping for another green rotary laser receiver that is compatible. The DEWALT receiver is weak. It’s hard to pick up the laser. I’ve used many different models and have another brand and I don’t have this issue with other brands I’ve used and have
it cant do vertical, so
Green laser cost more than the red? Why?
Way more expensive to produce. Google it.
SC 03 guessing costlier diodes
I wonder if seeing DeWalt running their lasers now on the 20V platform will stop their wishful thinking that DeWalt is going to jump back into the 12v game with brushless tools?🤔
@@joeframer9642
No they're not unless they're selling them out of like a van with smoke signals.
They are not available at Amazon UK, amazon.co.uk.
They are not available at Amazon Germany, amazon.de.
They're not available at screwfix.
I just checked both under 10.8 nominal voltage and 12 volt maximum voltage.
@Joe Framer
You were right (not about them being available in Europe though), and I apologize.
Announced today Dewalt Xtreme subcompact series of tools 12V brushless.
Can u put it on its side?
Jack Simpson yep sure can, we showed it that way briefly
I'm clueless about this
I need to build a 2000feet water channel and I need it as perfect as possible
1/16 Accuracy for 100 feet, what does that mean for 2000 feet?
Can someone explain?
Eyal atiya I forget the range of this thing but it’s not 2000 feet
Who makes this laser?
Craig Tucker dewalt
Good lord.
AKA Team Yellow
Good question, could be made by someone else
