Dewalt Laser level

First time I saw one was while digging a trench for a plumber in the early 80's. I thought it was "space age". I can't remember what he told me it cost, but I remember thinking "don't break it"

Saw one of these at Costco on Saturday. I was tempted, but it just seems too cheap. Anyone try one of these yet?

The problem I have with these cheap ones is making sure the level is actually level. Those round bubble level indicators are not accurate and hard to on the tripod. Next time I will get a self leveling one.

Any of you had to work on your Dewalt laser Level?
Mine quit while on the shelf sometime in the past year. Batteries good, contacts clean. Neither vertical or horizontal come on.

Hmmm. Mine is an original Pacific Laser Systems and wasn't cheap. I mention "original" because the latter models are junk. But anyway, mine exactly the same circumstances, been sitting for a while, but only the vertical and horizontal together work. One time it did work properly, and I was able to cycle through the patterns, but after that went back to cross only. Makes me think the button contacts are corroded but how do you get to them?? It's a tiny membrane keypad.
