A low priced entry level laser level that's good for everyday use around the home. Comes with vertical and horizontal bubble levels, a self attaching mechanism (it's basically a built-in nail) as well as an attachment to adhere to an existing nail/screw. The beam covers long distances (12ft+) and is visible even with the lights on (although it can be faint if it's under direct lighting); horizontal adjustment is easy once mounted.

It won't solve all your leveling needs, but with it's low a price it will more than pay for itself.

A handy product to have in your tool kit. Might use it infrequently, but good to have on hand when you need it.

I purchased a pair of B&D laser levels because one is tiny and one is more capable. I find I just won't use the BDL220s shown here because it makes me do the leveling. I always use the slightly larger BDL310s, also sold by Amazon, because it is AUTOMATIC LEVELING. WOW, that's better. Amazon resellers have it for $70ish and it is just great! Get the BDL310s instead.

Due to malformations in the plastic molding I could not insert the batteries. I had to disassemble the unit to carve out the excess plastic. Although I like the fact that the leveling vials are illuminated, Black&Decker's quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

My daughter needed a basic laser level to do some family picture hanging and this does it fine. But you really need to know what you want your level to be able to do before buying.

For very basic around-the-house simple stuff, this is great.
