Thank you for your very impressive review of all those laser levels. From that I went out and bought a Bosch GLL -3-80 CG and am very happy with the performance. I have added a couple of observation that may be of interest. There are 3 intensity levels for this laser that can only be changed through the use of the phone app, they are medium (default level), high and low plus the laser can be turned off, this was mentioned by others. The high level is considerably higher than the default output but not enough to see it in direct sun light although laser line can easily be seen in indirect sun light up to 3 to 4 metres. From my estimates it would be on par to the brightness of the Milwaukee that you tested. The laser seems to work fine on 4 rechargeable AA batteries with amount of charge correctly indicating it battery capacity on the display. I found that I had no problem doing fine adjustment in the horizontal plane by just rotating the laser level but the vertical adjustment on the mount is very stiff and the adjustment knob is too smooth to get a good grip. The AA battery holder is very difficult to remove and it is easier to open the AA battery holder in the laser to change the batteries than trying to remove it. There are two versions of the laser. The earlier version has “Cal guard” were as in the later version this feature has been removed, including the “cal guard” button. The Bosch 360 laser level is made in China. In Australia there is an extended 6 year warranty by registering the laser level on the Bosch website. To do this registration process is rather challenging as it doesn’t like Mozilla Firefox web browser and gives no indication of the problem. The Bosch web site is also very slow.
I had a DeWalt 360 laser. Withing 2 years all the diodes died and DeWalt refused to cover it under their limited warranty. $600 laser that didn't last 2 years, they wanted $275 to fix it. Nope. I'll never buy anything from DeWalt ever again
I"ve been running the Dewalt 12V for at least 5 years now. I have a 2nd one now and still it keeps beating the drum...unbelievable. I only got the second one because I thought it would give up the ghost soon....still hanging in there! Commercial carpenter using this literally hours daily on average 3 days a week I'd say. Only thing I would say is battery is starting to fade slightly after 5 years, but still runs 4+ hours. Outside of that I have dropped it over 12 feet onto direct concrete 2 times and 2nd reason why I bought number 2 unit....just in case, but it's still just as accurate and I like the older case better so it's my go too for 100 foot max distances. Always put up center of max distances to cut your deviations in half. Excellent product!
I bought the Bosch 360 last year to replace my other laser that died. Didn't even use it half a dozen times before it quit working and Bosch warranty was the worst. I sent it in early April 2021, after they "lost it" and "found it" I finally got a replacement....which was USED, scratched and had spray paint on it. And it was a red laser when I sent in a green laser. After another 2 months of complaining to them and they now didn't know where this other unit ended up, I finally got a brand new replacement in August 2021.
@@AddictedtoTools Yeah, it wasn't good at all. I was pretty mad about it during the summer when I needed it and kept getting run around! You need to register their product for an extra year of warranty (2yr total). I didn't do that with the first one and I was 2 months within the warranty period, luckily. I registered this new one to get the two year warranty.
@@AddictedtoTools No. This is quoted directly from their site, and, I just went through it. Don't know where you got 6 years from...maybe on power tools but not laser devices. "Bosch lasers and measuring tools will be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of purchase. Bosch will extend warranty coverage to two (2) years when you register your product within eight (8) weeks after date of purchase."
Awesome man! This review is exactly what I was looking for, Great comparison for green laser technology. I use Bosch 360 and the only complain is lack of that micro adjustment knob, the laser on BM1 mount rotates itself with even small wind or vibration on the site and there is no lock or knob to avoid/adjust it. I think Bosch will release new model to address this issue soon because these major brands are in great race for laser measuring devices these days. Thank you 🥂
Hey I use the same laser , I love it, but you need to run it with the motorised tripod base, (bosch RM3) it’s a game changer. It gives you the rotating micro knob, and also gives you a remote which you can micro adjust from 20-30m away. Highly recommended.
So useful thank you. The Milwaukee, Dewalt and Bosch look great there are tons of unknown brand lasers on Amazon the lower price is attractive & some have 20 lines which can’t be good for the eyes and I suspect the accuracy and build quality is inferior to established brands, or do we pay for the name, not sure I think I might go for Bosch.Thanks so informative!
Boys at work have the CPI 2 plane but I'm going to go with 3P Milwaukee since that's the batteries I have. I was looking at a dewalt before Milwaukee announced their laser
that's where I'm leaning towards. already having the batteries and charger helps. I was also going to get a new dewalt until Milwaukee came out. I have a 6 yr old dewalt red 2 plane laser which has been great.
Hey mate. I’ve heard good things and Leica and apparently they help to make a lot of these other lasers. I’ll definitely see if I can get my hands on one to have a look at. What sort of work do you use it for?
@@AddictedtoTools use it framing houses in the states. Pretty much indispensable for us. From squaring up the building, to plumbing up 20ft tall walls and gable trusses, and framing in fireplaces on vaulted ceilings, can’t imagine not having it in the trailer at this point.
I’ve used many different brands of lasers. I own the Hilti PM-30 and it’s literally the best. $100 more than the Milwaukee and totally worth the price.
How long have you had yours? I have one of the older Hilti three plane red lasers, but outside I cant see that thing 10' away. Otherwise its ok but the line has always been think for my tastes. I like hilti but have also owned Leicas which are nice. Any thoughts?
I own the dewalt 12v 360 and it's my most valued tool now. Can use it for everything! 12v lasts me for 2-3 days (16-24 hours) The 18v would seem like over kill plus more weight. Also the 12v 360 is light enough the magnet will hold itself on metal corner bead which is awesome. I wouldn't trust to leave it there since I have a pole for it. But it's nice for quickly picking a height and just checking things real quick. I highly recommend using any green laser for work. Nothing looks better then your tile grout lines going around the whole room all lining up on the horizontal laser level when customer walks in :D
I picked up the Milwaukee 3 plane today and noticed a super high pitched sound while the laser is on. Does the dewalt do that too? Or do all laser level emit a high pitched sound while on?
This video helped me a lot in my choice and I chose the Milwaukee 360 laser. I am very satisfied with my choice, the milwaukee laser has high precision and high quality, which is most important for work.
I've seen people take the package off the Dewalt put a battery in turn it on and it be so far off its unusable. the best one I've had is the PLS 3 plane 360
Something he didn’t mention (unless I missed it) is how thick the the lines are for Milwaukee. At a farther distance you’re looking at a 3/16 wide laser line which decreases accuracy.
I use both milwaukee and dewalt battery platforms for my work. I was looking at the dewalt 360 and that's what took me here (not for a comparison but mostly to see what it's like), it was a quite in-depth look at everything. I'm probably going to go for the milwaukee 360 - it's considerably brighter by the looks of this (I didn't even know milwaukee had one TBH). also I feel like dewalt is losing it's luster for me...I've got bags and bags of dewalt tools as that was my go-to for years, but their customer service is awful. or maybe the lady I spoke to was just having a bad day. either way, since that day I've been buying milwaukee for both of my company's new tool purchases. anyway, rambling aside...you did a great review. all points considered that I was wondering about. now I just need to settle on a laser mounting pole 🤔😂
Did you check the Laser Power of the bosch gll 3-80 cg in the App? Here you can Adapt the intesity of the Laser. So the Max Level is much more intens/Bright than Standard Mode.
Good video man I have the 2 plane Milwaukee n I install tile for a living n I have one big big huge complaint it’s to dam heavy n the magnets r not strong enough im use to sticking my laser on a corner bead of a wall n slide it up n down to my choosing my old de Walt red 2 pl use to stick no prob of course it was much smaller but still so I had to invest in Milwaukee tripod they got me
They sure are heavy. I found the magnets to be strong, but it maybe what I’m sticking it too. Can’t knock the old dewalts. That’s what I’m still running.👍
I wanna see the Makita 3way 360 12v as I'm on the platform .. but I don't actually have anything 12v so I could go any of them. I need distance for fencing though. Currently got a Bosch 2 way but it tears through double a's
so im a contractor and i own the dewalt dw089, dw0825 and the milwaukee cross line laser....cross line lasers are more brighter than 360 lasers only because it focuses the laser consistently straight ahead but they cant compare to 360 lasers but they are brighter especially the expenive cross line lasers ....but the 3x360 lasers are more versatile then a cross line laser and 3x360 lasers are still bright and side by side theres no comparison really because a 3x360 will win simply because it wrap around the entire room in 3 different directions and the cross line look like shit next to one. so if your a carpenter having to move the cross line laser every 15mins can slow down your pace but there is a market for both lasers .....so if you think you need a cross line laser more than likely it will work for you and that goes for the 3x360 laser also
Didn't talk about beam error compensation ...have any of these got any sort of mirror calibration to make sure the mirrors sit plumb. Mirror quality? If the mirror(s) are actually sending the beam straight?
Thanks mate👍 I haven’t used the hilti 360. I’ve only used the 2 plane laser around 6yrs ago which was good. I am planning on getting a heap more laser to look into. The hilti is definitely at the top of the list.
I’ve used the dome (r2d2 looking) Hilti and found it moved around on its own, we had to set up a receiver so we knew when it moved. The new 360 one should be better
If you are doing glass curtain walls or something that need real precision, go for Hilti... they are super expensive but will last you a lifetime and will never fail you.
I was hoping to see a test showing how good the self leveling was in each laser... I have a cheap eBay 3x360 and after a slight bump or adjustment it is quite slow compared to DeWalt that I have used before... I'm currently looking at a Milwaukee 3x360 because I'm a Milwaukee user... I was hoping to get the model that takes the 4v lithium battery but I couldn't go back to a non 360 laser now 🤦🏻♂️
Man i really don’t understand the lasers that run on the cordless platform batteries… if you use one and like it: i’m happy for you. This isn’t to tell anyone they are wrong.. when I bought one to set the plane on our laser products template machine i just bought the one recommended by the (a Lino L2.) I never even studied it enough to consider the battery system. All that said the one I got runs on 3x AAA batteries. I have been using that thing on the batteries it came with for well over a year now..
i have tbe Dewalt 12v 360 green laser, works well but the blind spot are very annoying and the fact you dont have the micro adjusment sucks. Also, not able to do incline level sucks. and after a fews years, the laser started to fade a bit. For a $600 you'd expect a bit more.
Project shapes and horizontals and cross-hair and drilling points Picture frame, level with ceiling, due to buildings are not always true Adjustable horizon = get One line for ceiling (without floor) = parallel to picture frame height Same for wall sides verticals (both sides then both lines for two cross-hairs) = get the woman to approve (no argument later) Drill
I'm an electrician wondering if I should get the normal milwaukee or the 360. I don't have big jobs and money isn't too much of a bother just want to know which one I should get
Hey mate. I’ve used a normal laser for the last 6yrs. I have the dewalt red laser. I mainly use it for plumb and getting a vertical and or horizontal line. I can’t remember the last time I really needed a 360. So if you feel you won’t need the 360, I would save the money and get the 2 plane.
Thanks for this video. I am looking to upgrade my simple laser for easy home projects like hanging frames, shelves etc. I would like a self leveling one I could place on a tripod. These ones you are showing may be overkill for me. Can you recommend a laser for home use
I can’t say much about the hilti as it’s been years since I’ve used one. I’m aiming to find one to have a look at hopefully. The Bosch did seriously good and is cheaper than the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee definitely felt durable and heavy duty, but the Bosch had a yr warranty. It’s a seriously hard decision. I’m aiming at the Milwaukee at the moment, but only because of the micro adjustment and I’m already on the m12 platform. If I didn’t have Milwaukee I would go the Bosch with the Bluetooth mount
@@AddictedtoTools i have a hilti 5 way dot laser that i use regularly in day light, it destroys a bosch one another guy had on site with visibility in sun, i assume their line laser would be equally impressive and expensive
Thanks for the info adam. I’m definitely going to track a hilti down to trial. Unfortunately not as many people are running the hiltis compared to other brands. Maybe because of the price.
@@AddictedtoTools you thought Milwaukee was overpriced in Au. Check out the prices in NZ. Here the Hilti PM 30 is somewhat cheaper than M12 3Plane. Go figure.
Did you turn the brightness up to max on the Bosch lasers via the app ? Once the lasers are turned off and on it reset back to medium brightness and have go back into the app to turn brightness up
hey Andrew. I didn't know about that. if the bosch laser can be turned up from what it was, then that could be a game changer. the 360 already did well. ill have to check that out and have another look into it. thanks again for the info
It’s not a matter of if it can be turned up, it can. It states this play as day in the instructions. Like I already said both Bosch lasers default settings is medium and has to set to high via the app every time it’s turned off and on. Will you be updating your video ? The results aren’t true and gives people the wrong information. Also you didn’t touch on which of the lasers can be re calibrated. A few of the lasers in your line up have non adjustable pendulums. Once dropped and are out they can’t be re calibrated, throw them in the bin.
@@AddictedtoTools did you also check the accuracy of each laser, with the 360 ladtes it's as easy turning them 180 and seeing if there's a difference, I went into total tools in Beenleigh 2 yrs ago, every last was out the Max allowable at brand new .. except the el cheapo "general titanium" baha .. it was there I found out only Imex supply a calibration certificate with the laser, Andrew is referring to the older model dewalt that can't be repaired or calibrated if it is out in certain ways due to the casing not being able to be opened .. it's crap that brand new lasers can be put 3mm from brand new when you take then to an authorised service agent pay $150 and they get heaps better..
@@AddictedtoTools I’m a service technician in New Zealand, I carry out repairs and calibration adjustments and basically every laser you have mentioned. From the cheap ones to high end I get to see them all. So it’s a good comparison that you have done.
I just have a question, because I'm buying a new laser level. I was leaning toward the CGL 100 40G from Bosch, but I'm not doing the battery thing again, I switch mine out twice some days. Plus that one has no Bluetooth. So looking at the GCL 100 80 CG, I hate the red plumb points but it's 12v and has Bluetooth. I really want to keep it under 400, but I'd pay anything under 600 if does 360 and has a tool battery. And micro adjust is a must. I'm on Dewalt battery platform but for the laser idc I just want one I won't buy and be thinking "if I'd only dropped that extra 80." Anybody got a suggestion? I'd way appreciate it. Thanks a lot! Also, great video thanks for the info
I think that the laser company that comes out with a blue tooth tec so you can sut it off without touching the laser body will be the next one I buy .I have the Dewalt 18 volt and and the bosh. I like both. For different reasons. Thanks.
Which Bosch do you have? As the 360 Bosch I had actually had Bluetooth. I’m not sure if you can turn it off though. Would be worth looking at. They’re making some great new gear.
Good job, but I don’t think your measurement was accurate cause I can see Some of them are has a dirty protective glass in bright light but some of them are brand new I think it is better to clean them up first .
Which one had the thinnest vertical line? thats the most important feat for me
Thank you for your very impressive review of all those laser levels. From that I went out and bought a Bosch GLL -3-80 CG and am very happy with the performance.

shit happens write to the executive office, those are the emails that cost them money
I’ve had the same experience with DeWalt. In both their after sales service and quality of product- Pure rubbish.
Should have challenged their limited warranty policy. They would have fixed it rather than risk a court case it the ACCC. 3 years is 3 years
If you are basing your choice to use a tool because it stopped working after the warranty was up ... Then you aren't reading warranties to well.
@@NathanSprouleDrums you should try not dropping lasers and fine tuned equipment. Their drills and saws are insanely tough.

That’s really strange. I wonder how it moved. I’ve heard mixed reviews on the 3plane 360 hilti. I’m keen to try it
@@mattskelton992 I had the hilti 360 laser but god dam its pricey £850gbp a bloody good laser though I've just invested in the 360 milwaukee
Nice review 👍🏻 have you tried the Makita 360 12 volt ?
Так какой из них лучший?
Good comparison mate
cheers mate👍
Hi did you try holding them on an angle with locked laser , which one can do 45 degrees
I assume about 15:38 is when you were cussing off camera because you saw your fence, haha! Oh the things we do for UA-cam!
If you are doing glass curtain walls or something that need real precision, go for Hilti... they are super expensive but will last you a lifetime and will never fail you.
Did u have a huepar in there?
No I didn’t. I’m working on getting one to look at though. Have you used one?
@@AddictedtoTools I have not, but I heard they are the best bargain priced green laser. It would be interesting to see how they compare.
I was hoping to see a test showing how good the self leveling was in each laser... I have a cheap eBay 3x360 and after a slight bump or adjustment it is quite slow compared to DeWalt that I have used before... I'm currently looking at a Milwaukee 3x360 because I'm a Milwaukee user... I was hoping to get the model that takes the 4v lithium battery but I couldn't go back to a non 360 laser now 🤦🏻♂️
Another great video Matt
y have the bochs , it haz 3 power modes , it needs to turnit on max and then see the difrence
Looks like a rave with all those lasers. Add some smoke next time…lol
Great comparison 👍
Man i really don’t understand the lasers that run on the cordless platform batteries… if you use one and like it: i’m happy for you. This isn’t to tell anyone they are wrong.. when I bought one to set the plane on our laser products template machine i just bought the one recommended by the (a Lino L2.) I never even studied it enough to consider the battery system. All that said the one I got runs on 3x AAA batteries. I have been using that thing on the batteries it came with for well over a year now..
Your information is good and useful
Thanks mate. I appreciate the feedback.
i have tbe Dewalt 12v 360 green laser, works well but the blind spot are very annoying and the fact you dont have the micro adjusment sucks. Also, not able to do incline level sucks. and after a fews years, the laser started to fade a bit. For a $600 you'd expect a bit more.
Project shapes and horizontals and cross-hair and drilling points
Picture frame, level with ceiling, due to buildings are not always true
Adjustable horizon
= get One line for ceiling (without floor)
= parallel to picture frame height
Same for wall sides verticals (both sides then both lines for two cross-hairs)
= get the woman to approve (no argument later)
Drill
how you think about this Dovoh brand Dovoh 3x360° Ultra-Bright Green Laser Level (H3-360G)
The milwaukee M12 Green 360 plane a better laser level that the Dewalt any time hands down
What's wrong with dewalt 360, it has that extra x on the wall and on the ceiling, can you explain that 🤔
Need to compare the Hilti
Definitely. I’m chasing one.
I'm an electrician wondering if I should get the normal milwaukee or the 360. I don't have big jobs and money isn't too much of a bother just want to know which one I should get
Hey mate. I’ve used a normal laser for the last 6yrs. I have the dewalt red laser. I mainly use it for plumb and getting a vertical and or horizontal line. I can’t remember the last time I really needed a 360. So if you feel you won’t need the 360, I would save the money and get the 2 plane.
@@AddictedtoTools yeah that's true. Just making excuses for myself. Thanks a lot for the reply bud much appreciated!
Thanks for this video. I am looking to upgrade my simple laser for easy home projects like hanging frames, shelves etc. I would like a self leveling one I could place on a tripod. These ones you are showing may be overkill for me. Can you recommend a laser for home use
Most bottom level lasers will do for around the home. The cpi 2 plane red laser is only $79(isnt in this video).
@@AddictedtoTools THANKS!! can you sendme link to get this laser?
sydneytools.com.au/product/cpi-x-line-red-beam-self-levelling-cross-line-laser
Missing the PLS and the Stabila
Missing a lot of lasers…. Feel free to donate
Please make a self leveling test
788 is abit much just for a skin though, dewalt and Bosch have battery’s with them included
Nice work 👍. Wish you had the Hilti as well. How would rate the following 3 (360) plane lasers? - M12, Hilti and Bosch Green ?
I can’t say much about the hilti as it’s been years since I’ve used one. I’m aiming to find one to have a look at hopefully. The Bosch did seriously good and is cheaper than the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee definitely felt durable and heavy duty, but the Bosch had a yr warranty. It’s a seriously hard decision. I’m aiming at the Milwaukee at the moment, but only because of the micro adjustment and I’m already on the m12 platform. If I didn’t have Milwaukee I would go the Bosch with the Bluetooth mount
@@AddictedtoTools i have a hilti 5 way dot laser that i use regularly in day light, it destroys a bosch one another guy had on site with visibility in sun, i assume their line laser would be equally impressive and expensive
Thanks for the info adam. I’m definitely going to track a hilti down to trial. Unfortunately not as many people are running the hiltis compared to other brands. Maybe because of the price.
@@AddictedtoTools you thought Milwaukee was overpriced in Au. Check out the prices in NZ. Here the Hilti PM 30 is somewhat cheaper than M12 3Plane. Go figure.
I’ve heard that NZ is more expensive. Creamy prices.
100% he didn’t turn the Bosch 360 to maximum on the app 👌🏻
And didn't tell that this one has receivers LR7, LR8 and can work outside with these in any sunny, bright day.
Can anyone tell me how Klein 93pll would compare since it wasn’t in this comparison? But seems like a very good level especially for the price.
Bosch 360 can be use as a plumb point laser ?
Very good comprehensive video
Cheers mate. I appreciate the feedback👍
Did you turn the brightness up to max on the Bosch lasers via the app ? Once the lasers are turned off and on it reset back to medium brightness and have go back into the app to turn brightness up
hey Andrew. I didn't know about that. if the bosch laser can be turned up from what it was, then that could be a game changer. the 360 already did well. ill have to check that out and have another look into it.
thanks again for the info
It’s not a matter of if it can be turned up, it can. It states this play as day in the instructions. Like I already said both Bosch lasers default settings is medium and has to set to high via the app every time it’s turned off and on. Will you be updating your video ? The results aren’t true and gives people the wrong information. Also you didn’t touch on which of the lasers can be re calibrated. A few of the lasers in your line up have non adjustable pendulums. Once dropped and are out they can’t be re calibrated, throw them in the bin.
Thanks again mate, as I said, I’ll have a look into it. Cheers.
@@Andrew-xd9fg settle down Adny
@@AddictedtoTools did you also check the accuracy of each laser, with the 360 ladtes it's as easy turning them 180 and seeing if there's a difference, I went into total tools in Beenleigh 2 yrs ago, every last was out the Max allowable at brand new .. except the el cheapo "general titanium" baha .. it was there I found out only Imex supply a calibration certificate with the laser, Andrew is referring to the older model dewalt that can't be repaired or calibrated if it is out in certain ways due to the casing not being able to be opened .. it's crap that brand new lasers can be put 3mm from brand new when you take then to an authorised service agent pay $150 and they get heaps better..
Buy the hilti 360.
im currently chasing one to look at and compare. I've used the 2 plane hiltis in the past and they were awesome. you rate them?
No Hilti??
Should have put a table with a giant diamond on it in the middle to start video lol
Klein 93PLL crushes it inside and out. $239.00 US. Best all around 3 axis.
has anyone used huepar what can you say about it
Completely missed out on the top two industry laser -PLS/ fluke laser and also the Spectra precision laser…..
Yeah mate, plenty of other lasers out there. Wish I had the money or means to get them
@@AddictedtoTools I’m a service technician in New Zealand, I carry out repairs and calibration adjustments and basically every laser you have mentioned. From the cheap ones to high end I get to see them all. So it’s a good comparison that you have done.
Why isn't the HILTI laser there?
Hilti Pm-30. No debate
Are you able to compare Hilti PM 30-MG laser if you get a chance
anynew updates? I'm in between bosch gll330cg and milwaukee 360 green. haha
We’re is the hiilti
I just have a question, because I'm buying a new laser level. I was leaning toward the CGL 100 40G from Bosch, but I'm not doing the battery thing again, I switch mine out twice some days. Plus that one has no Bluetooth. So looking at the GCL 100 80 CG, I hate the red plumb points but it's 12v and has Bluetooth. I really want to keep it under 400, but I'd pay anything under 600 if does 360 and has a tool battery. And micro adjust is a must. I'm on Dewalt battery platform but for the laser idc I just want one I won't buy and be thinking "if I'd only dropped that extra 80." Anybody got a suggestion? I'd way appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
Also, great video thanks for the info
Sounds like the milwaukee or dewalt 360 would work for you
Milwaukee 360 for the win.
I think that the laser company that comes out with a blue tooth tec so you can sut it off without touching the laser body will be the next one I buy .I have the Dewalt 18 volt and and the bosh. I like both. For different reasons. Thanks.
Which Bosch do you have? As the 360 Bosch I had actually had Bluetooth. I’m not sure if you can turn it off though. Would be worth looking at. They’re making some great new gear.
Britness is important but which has the most crisp line. Fat lines are not as accurate up close. Tile in a shower layout
Were’s Hilti?
What about Makita laser 3D & Hilti laser 3D?
What about them?…
Can I get one of those levels?
Good job, but I don’t think your measurement was accurate cause I can see Some of them are has a dirty protective glass in bright light but some of them are brand new I think it is better to clean them up first .
If weren’t already on any of the battery platforms and just wanted to pick the best 360 laser level, would you go dewalt 18v or Milwaukee m12?
I'm sure he would go to Milwaukee. I have DeWalt platform and still leaning towards it
Sonho de consumo ter todos esses
Um muito bom é hepar s04cg. Eu ultilizo
Unfortunately, what you saw in person is drastically different than what we saw on video.
Misssing the PlS 360
Dewalt need that adjustable bracket that botch have apart from that I can't fault the dewalt 12v 360
Sure would be handy. I have seen Milwaukee now have a similar bracket that can be bought separately. Starts to add up price wise though: 👍
Is that magpie tape
No Stabila???
Those dewalt lasers are on ali express for like 70 euros
are original or fake?
Great job
Where's the Hilti PM-30 MG
The Dewalt is a 20v max
DEWALT ❤
i would buy a Huepar
Why the champion it's not in your video? 🤔 Hilti 3 360 green
Couldn’t get one. Would love to get my hands on one
@@AddictedtoTools,, pm 30-mg multi-line laser hilti,, it's the official name, will buy this one like gift 🎁 for Christmas 🎄 🤔🤣♥
