What Laser Can Put A Line On The Floor? PLS-5?


I need a laser to do and check layout. I looked at the PLS-5. I want it to check square with a visible line on the floor. I have a Dewalt plumb laser already. Any suggestions?

I use this for tile and walls, it's only $40 from home depot and does a decent job. You don't say what requirements you have for length of line and brightness though.

This one gives 15-20 foot lines in average lighting, does good enough for setting tile as it shows up in the thinset, you don't have to worry about covering your line. I also use it for laying out square lines for partition walls for offices, basements, etc.

If you want continuous lines on the floor and want to go with Pacific Laser, try the PLS90e

I bought one a while back and now I have the PLS-2 and the 360. What a great bunch of lasers.
