Are there any levels on the product (or mounting plate) to ensure a level line when using on walls? Or do I have to set a level on the laser line?

This laser is made especially for tile floor layout. It is great because it has a square and 45 degree line. If you use it on a wall you will need to use level on the wall. I use a different self leveling laser for vertical and horizontal level lines.

Thank you for your question. The Bosch GTL3 comes with a leveling plate to allow positioning of the measuring tool flat on an uneven or unstable floor. The plate can also be used as a wall bracket for the measuring tool and use a level to fix the leveling plate flat on the surface. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

Since this is just a tripod, you can use a laser level mounted to the top. Laser levels come with many different options, I have used them to put drop ceilings in before and found them to be very handy. Of course, you can always go old-school and use a Waterlevel:)

There's 3 small screws to adjust laser on center. Just need to roll body smoothly and adjust screws till laser makes a small dot on wall.

What EMS Pilot said. The vertical line does go up onto ceiling fairly well, but it won't project down the ceiling of a long hallway. Depending on your application and how large the room is, it should work for what you describe to get one line, then use your tape measure to get the spacing... Or get a projecting rotary laser.

It has a metal base plate that you can hang with a nail. It isn't the best laser for vertical use. Its best suited for floor layout.

I am not familiar with the hydraulic levelers but as long as they have a way to bolt the lower plates under the levelers you should be all set. If you go on the web site there is a phone number for the owner of the company. I have not used him but according to other people he is very nice and calls you back.

I use mounting tape and so far no issues. You have to do it right though. First, get 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape (red). Clean the metal plate and the surface you're sticking it to with rubbing alcohol and wait an hour. The back plate will fit TWO strips of the tape side-by-side if you stretch it a little. Get all the tape you can on there. Press the plate firmly into the wall for thirty seconds to a minute and don't hang anything from it for an hour. If you do all that you SHOULD be OK. Again, I haven't had problems, but... it definitely is a risk.

You can get the vertical line to project on the table depending on the relative height, but the horizontal line can only project at a level line. What is the purpose?

hey it projects a solid line with the spinning laser. im not an expert on laser levels but I really do like this one. I bought a tripod to go with it.im a cabinet maker and im working in an old old very settled house. it was great for marking lines around the room to take measurements from. I am happy with it.

I had to level mine at one end. I built a short wall using landscape timbers and sand. I drilled holes in the timbers and pounded cut rebar into to them and thru into the ground to hold them in place. I then back filled with sand to level it.

Yes it can...if you want to get a straight line put a screw in the wall and put the Laser to sit on it to help support your arms. That should help you to steadily hold the laser for a straight line. The laser shoots a straight line across any flat surface

Yes, there is a magnetic mount built into the laser level - on the back. In fact it is a strong one and holds firmly to a metal surface. From the sounds of your intended use the only problem will be finding someplace on an automobile these days that is made of metal and not plastic... I sincerely hope you enjoy using the Bosch laser level as much as I have. It is so easy to use I find it easy to take it out and mount pictures, etc. It is so inexpensive yet so well made and so useful. Regards, Dr. J., Princeton, NJ

I haven't gone up a wall but put it under my floor. Laid it down and it takes a pretty thick coat of leveling compound. I imagine that if you lay it under mortar it should do well.

It does not measure. It only gives you a level or plumb line. It's nice because it self levels, you don't have to level it your self. It's probably off 1/16" at 50'. It's best at max of 30' since most people move the laser to a different spot if it's any further. I've gone 50' + setting lights on a 20' ceiling and I could not tell any accuracy issues. It also hooks on to a screw of a metal 4sq box and the laser lines up with the center Knockout. I love this laser. The one I had before was a manual level craftsman. This is a big step up.

The plastic things are just anchors, I believe. I didn't use them, just screwed it into the wall with a screwdriver. I would recommend using a good level though, as it's really hard to gauge with the eye. Good luck!

I'm certainly no expert on lasers or targets, but by reading the comments section of some laser targets, it sounds as if its main (only?) use is to level dropped ceilings in conjunction with a laser leveler.
