Why We Love This Deal
One of my neighbors has a “measure once, cuss twice” bumper sticker. It's a fair warning for an easy mistake to make with a flimsy leveler found in a basic tool set. With only a small bubble standing in the way between perfection and lopsided irritation, it’s no wonder that people have moved on to automatic levelers, like this one from Bosch that Amazon is selling for just $50 right now.
The Bosch GLL50-20 Self-Leveling Cross-Line Laser is currently 38% off, the lowest price it's been on Amazon since last winter. Designed as a hands-free way to help you hang paintings, mount drawers, and get things just right, it’s the perfect tool for redecorators and cabinet installers alike. This model also happens to be Amazon's most popular model, with thousands of five-star ratings to back it up and over 1,000 sold in the last month alone.

Just point and pop a perfectly level cross mark at whatever you’re aiming at. Find horizontal and vertical lines perfectly, plus see the right angle where everything must be aligned to, and get the perfect fit. For hands-free use while you work, you can place the laser unit on an opposing counter, clamp it somewhere, or mount it to a tripod for better aiming. Just get it approximately to the height of what you’re pointing at and let the device’s internal gimbal system do the rest of the work.
The leveler is powered by AA batteries, which are included, but if you happen to have a Bosch 3.7V 1.0Ah battery lying around, you can use that too. This is a Class II laser, as it emits light only and is suitable for pointers, so it’ll be quite safe to use. Just don’t go around pointing it at cars and planes. Its IP55 environmental protection rating also makes it fine for use outdoors, as it can handle dust and rain.
