Why a Leica Laser Level is Well Worth the Investment

18th January 2016

Laser levels are used in many different industries and for many reasons, but are most commonly used in construction, surveying and engineering.  The tool uses laser technology to project beams across axes (this can be vertical, horizontal or both) and enables users to correctly and accurately determine levels. These tools deliver a much more convenient and accurate way of establishing levels compared to traditional manual tools.

Why a Leica Laser Level?

A Leica laser level is a brand of laser level trusted by many because of the brand's extensive history of excellence, quality, durability and accuracy. If you're unsure whether or not you should be investing in a high quality laser level from this brand, it is worth taking a look at the following reasons a Leica laser level is well worth the investment:

Recommendation

What other people have to say about their experience with a product is really useful when it comes to determining whether the brand is right for you, and which product is right for your needs. When you choose a well-known, well trusted brand, you can expect a lot of recommendations and reviews online. In comparison, a lesser known brand may not have as much exposure, so you're left to go on much less information. When it comes to such a big investment, with a tool that is so imperative to many applications, it really does make a difference having the ability to get real life reviews from others so easily.

High Level of Performance and Accuracy

Leica are famous for producing high performance laser levels and people all over the world benefit from their well-designed, accurate products. If you want to ensure you have the most accurate, modern, well made, precise, intuitive tools for the job you're undertaking, it is worth investing in a Leica laser level. Despite these levels being at the higher end of the market in terms of price, it is well worth the extra investment as you can be absolutely sure that you are going to end up with a product that stands the test of time in terms of durability and longevity. In this situation paying more really does get you a better return.

Choice

With Leica comes choice which is ideal when you have specific and/or general needs. By choosing Leica you have a whole range of tools to choose from, each delivering either a very specific benefit or a range of benefits useful for an array of general levelling applications. 

Some of the most popular types are:

Leica Rugby Lasers - Leica rugby lasers are quite simply the toughest rotation lasers around. Used primarily in construction and engineering, they are the number one choice for discerning construction professionals worldwide. They are durable, accurate and you get a lot of bang for your buck. They are also very easy to use so even less experienced users can start to benefit from their incredible performance straight away.

Leica Roteo Lasers - These rotating lasers are designed to work well across a multitude of applications, primarily indoors rather than outdoors. They provide an exceptionally crisp and bright line that puts the competition in the shade whilst delivering a level of warranty and aftersales cover that is second to none. Roteo lasers are incredibly easy to operate, are available in a green laser version for even better visibility, are fully automatic and famously accurate.

Leica Lino Lasers - These lasers are designed to project points or lines to a high level of accuracy - down to the millimetre in fact. Leica Lino lasers automatically level themselves to compensate for minor misalignments so the tool itself helps the user to ensure ensure no errors are made. Premium quality optics and the brand's famous Power Range Technology ™ make sure any laser lines or points projected are incredibly accurate and easily visible. The products themselves are also very easy to operate, ensuring you can quickly and easily start taking advantage of their amazing capabilities.

Reputation, Warranty & After Sales

As with all products from this incredible organisation, in buying a Leica you're investing in decades fo Swiss engineering excellence and the very highest standards of research and development. Whilst countless generic tool firms and power tool manufacturers produce their own laser levels, many are generic tools re-branded in their image, produced by unnamed manufacturers, frequently down to a price rather than to a quality. The same certainly cannot be said for Leica - a firm that has specialised in the production of premium optics (vital in the construction of lasers) since 1849.

Due to their level of expertise, their R&D and the attention to detail and quality control, Leica are able to offer class-leading warranties on all of their products; warranties that frequently eclipse those of the more generic tool brands. What's more, if you buy their products from a specialist rather than a more generic tool retailer, you should be assured of the very highest standards in after sales support.

As with most things in life the phrase 'you get what you pay for' really rings true with Leica. However, with their laser levels you might be surprised how little you actually have to pay...
