Green Laser Level Comparison 

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 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 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

Thanks for the comparison. Do any of these support use with main adapter, rather than just battery?

Legend! Been looking at getting my first laser and on apprentice wages it ain't cheap! Takes the guess work out for me cheers big fella 🤙

Thank you for so detailed review. It is really helpful!

I do wish my Bosch was a touch brighter for outdoor work but I like how it syncs to a receiver for longer distances.

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!

Nice review 👍🏻 have you tried the Makita 360 12 volt ?

Great video. Do any of those lasers project a grid pattern?

If you have the possibility you should take a look at Leica Lino L6G and Geo-Fennel 6X-Green. Both 3x360.

Helped me pull the trigger. Thank you

Which one had the thinnest vertical line? thats the most important feat for me

This video helped me greatly with my decision. Was going to go with Milwaukee as I’m on the platform but ended up purchasing the bosch. The accuracy and warranty was what sold me as well as not needing to buy bosch specific batteries to run it. It has many many pluses over the other brands so for me it was an easy decision

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?

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

Just got the Milwaukee 360 , excited for it …

This was an extremely good comparison, thanks for the video. Do you have any experience with the Hilti 3 x 360-degree laser?

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.

Hi did you try holding them on an angle with locked laser , which one can do 45 degrees

Thanks.. THIS is science! Everyone can plainly see the performance of each device.

Man I’d love to see the Mikita represented…. That little 360 Bosch is pretty handy size wise

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m really stuck between getting the Bosch or the Milwaukee 3 plane. What are your thoughts

Nice vid mate,l have had the 12v dewalt for a few yrs,great laser.

As an electrician the Milwaukee m12 2plane laser is perfect with the plumb points aswell

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.

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.

What a great comparison. Awesome job.

Hello I want to buy a laser level, regardless of the price, I don't know which is better hilti pm30-mg 360° or a milwaukee M12 260°. For outside on a sunny or cloudy day, I want the one that is most visible outdoors and is not thick lines at long range. I look forward to your recommendation Thank you

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

Awesome review! Thanks.

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

Nice work 👍. Wish you had the Hilti as well. How would rate the following 3 (360) plane lasers? - M12, Hilti and Bosch Green ?

Mate you didn't show any features etc!? Which comes with a pendulum lock for working with angles and stairs? Im looking to get one this week .

Any chance of adding Hilti & Stabila to the list? Cheers!

Cpi is the thinnest line which is very important for indoor use

Thank you for this!

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!

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 🥂

which laser do you think is the best?

I am on bosch 18 and 12, m18 m12, and dewalt 20, so going with which platform I'm on doesn't help me any LOL! I have been using a red bosch AA laser for years now, but would like more power and greater distance, so leaning toward a green 360 for more versatility. . . I really like the idea of having a built in micro adjustment knob without having to use an additional base. . . Just to be clear, the dewalt and milwaulkee both have the adjustment, but the brightest of the bunch Bosch is lacking the adjustment? I suppose you can never have the best of the best all in one product...

Are you able to compare Hilti PM 30-MG laser if you get a chance

Bosch 360 can be use as a plumb point laser ?

how you think about this Dovoh brand Dovoh 3x360° Ultra-Bright Green Laser Level (H3-360G)

Hello, excellent video, I would like to know, for example, when you use the receiver at 20m, how much error does this laser have in cm? do you have any idea? thank you

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?

What's wrong with dewalt 360, it has that extra x on the wall and on the ceiling, can you explain that 🤔

anynew updates? I'm in between bosch gll330cg and milwaukee 360 green. haha

Your information is good and useful

Opinion on the toughbuil?

What about the Huepar model? You have many but this model and no one is comparing this model with the top notch models.

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

With the 2 plane, $190 Cpi being compared to $650 MIlwaukee ??

Good comparison mate

Which works best in outdoor? I want to see the entire laser at outdoors. Is there any that can suit my need?

Very good comprehensive video

This new Tron movie is legit!

Hi trying to decide between the green bosch 360 and the green Milwaukee 360, close by the laser body, how thick are the lines?

We have the Leica Lino lg6. It’s absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend getting your hands on one.

You forgot the Huepar lazer. I have tried alot of different ones. My favorite by far is huepar. It does so much.

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

I have the Milwaukee 360 laser and I really can't complain

You forgot the Huepar S04CG. THIS is the best

I assume about 15:38 is when you were cussing off camera because you saw your fence, haha! Oh the things we do for RU-vid!

y have the bochs , it haz 3 power modes , it needs to turnit on max and then see the difrence

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

Looks like a rave with all those lasers. Add some smoke next time…lol Great comparison 👍

Not gone lie the Dewalt wall test on the siding was moving and looked like it was that strong but that part was cut to fast it was a quick review

Please make a self leveling test

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 🤔😂

788 is abit much just for a skin though, dewalt and Bosch have battery’s with them included

Almost 7kdls in lasers wow ,Bosch 360 is the one we running the only problem with that laser is that can’t use extended 6.0 12v battery

absolute leader is Bosch 360. Just other is for DIY....

$4k plus in laser levels. Awesome

Great job

Depending on which way the 360 lasers are position the have a bright side and dull side.

What the best laser for working outside?

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

Can I ask why the Makita SK700GD isn’t in the comparison? Would love to hear your thoughts on that laser compared to the others.

The reason the 3-plane Milwaukee laser isn’t as bright as the 2-plane Milwaukee laser is because the 3-plane laser pulses (faster than you can see with the naked eye) where the 2-plane laser does not pulse, giving it a much brighter appearance.

Sonho de consumo ter todos esses Um muito bom é hepar s04cg. Eu ultilizo

Is the bosch was on the max? Because you can adjust the brightness

Can I get one of those levels?

I need this items

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

The bosch has serious issues with calibration. Many customers reporting the same issues.

If that's the Bosch GLL3-330CG model I can guarantee you that has the most potent beam out of all of those models and can be detected the furthest outdoors b/c of how strong the laser is. Only thing is it's a $500 model on average. If you're wanting a crossline laser level there's 3 accessories that you have to have or depending on what you're using it for, you may only need one or two of them. If you're using it to transfer elevations, then you definitely want to get a telescoping laser level pole. It's a pole that the laser level attaches to via brackets, and you can raise/lower your laser level until you match up with the correct elevation. If you're going to use your LLvL for outdoor use, you have to get a receiver to detect the laser line b/c you won't be able to see it most likely but often you don't need to see the entire laser line. You just need to know where it intersects something like a batter board or something like that. Make sure you buy one that is compatible with your laser level. Not all laser level models can be detected by receivers so if you plan on using this make sure you buy a laser level that has a receiver that it can pair with. The 3rd accessory is not made or sold by the laser level manufacturers but if you're trying to line your vertical lines on a target point that's over 15 ft away, this gets very difficult and time consuming to do by hand. You need to buy a high precision manual rotation stage (make sure it's one that has matching screw hole size as your laser level or else you'll have to buy an adapter screw). A high precision manual rotation stage is a device that's used in the optics industry mostly. It's a small device that has a round stage on top and that's where the laser level attaches to. It will have knobs on it that you turn and it will spin the round stage and laser level in very fine amounts of movement. This allows you to lock onto target points far away so much easier and faster. There is a Huepar adapter mount that has a cheap version of one of these built into it but the gears inside are absolute crap and they will only last about a year. Buy a metal high precision rotation stage. I bought a 60mm diameter stage for about $45 off walmart.com and i can lock onto targets up to 50 ft away. Edmund Optics is an optics company that makes them also.

Так какой из них лучший?

Did u have a huepar in there?

How thick are those laser lines?

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.

No Hilti??

You need a camera which can compensate for light flicker

Can any one help me please.. which one is brighter? I am working outside and I don't know which one is bright? Sorry my English language not very well..🌹🙏

no Leica??

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 .

nice video

great

Need to compare the Hilti
