i’ve been looking at getting a laser level recently and the pls2 would suit all my needs to a tee.
the only problem is that most of my work is outside ( i build conservatories so even when i’m inside i’m in daylight) and i don’t know if the laser will show up.
has anyone anyexperience with one of these or any other suggestions on any other makes.
i really like the fact that it shoots a line rather than just a dot.
thanks

PLS does not shoot a line. It shoots a dot. I have been using a PLS 5 for the past 7 or 8 years, and I love it! I use it both indoors and out, sunny or cloudy. I would say that up to about 100 feet, no problem. But you do need an assistant to either operate the laser (point it), or to "spot" it and mark it.

Sorry Koozer, but the PLS model 2 shoots either a vertical line, a horizontal line, or both, and it's self-leveling.Do it right, or do it twice.
Oops, I did not know that! Oh well, you're never too old to learn!

I have the PLS 2 and PLS5, They are both fantastic tools. The PLS 2 has the option of shooting a line horizontally, vertically or both at the same time. For outside use it probably will not do well. I did use it the other day outside, early morning before the sun was bright and the line was easily visible. But bright sun light will drown the laser. The PLS 2 is a great laser for kitchens and baths. What a time save. "One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions"
kostello, I have the pls2. It's great with many applications indoors. As some have said I don't think you'd like it outside. Pacific Laser Systems has come out with another that might suit your needs. Contact me via email if you want someone to talk to at pls about that new one. My experience with this co. has been a good one.

what this other tool that pls have that might be what i'm looking for??

What this tool I think has, is the ability to shoot a line and be visible (perhaps target only) outside. You really need to check it out at their site or let me know and I'll give you the email address of the guy at pls that has been very forthcoming with me.__________________________________________
