Ryobi AIRgrip Laser Level

On-Air Selections
Ryobi AIRgrip Laser Level
$40

The AIRgrip® laser level uses a small battery-powered motor to intake air and creates a vacuum on the bottom of a rubber pad to that it can stick to painted walls, untreated drywall, most wallpaper and many other non-porous surfaces. Unlike devices that use pins, nails or expensive adhesive tapes, the AIRgrip laser level will not leave a single mark on a wall, yet is powerful enough to adhere either vertically or horizontally for several hours at a time.

Black & Decker Crossfire Level

Black & Decker Crossfire Level
$100

Laser leveling tools keep getting better and this tool not only shoots out a horizontal and vertical (plumb) laser, but it also shoots the two simultaneously so that you can get a square corner to work in. It also projects laser lines from one room to another, and it's got a fine precision tuning system that allows the user better accuracy than previous versions on the market. This generation will automatically find level and plumb without any manual adjustments -- in other words, you don't need to look at a bubble on this one, it just knows!
