With the wide selection of construction lasers available today, it can be difficult just to shop and decide on a model. The task of researching the different models is more than most people want to deal with or can devote the time to.
We will try to explain which features do what and which product best suits your needs. Basically, you should first figure out what tasks you want to perform with your laser level. Do you plan to work only indoors, only outdoors, or both? Do you want to lay underground pipes, chair rails in a dining room, fence posts and construction site tarps? These are the questions that define the features you want to look for and purchase.
What are construction lasers?
They are used in a variety of jobs where layouts are performed and an accurate, level reference is required. Work such as installing ceiling tiles, installing chair railings in a dining room, installing electrical outlets in a house under construction. Some tasks are small, like hanging pictures in a flat manner across a living room wall. Some tasks are extensive, such as installing sewer pipes or processing a site assessment plan for a new building.

Types of laser levels
Choosing a construction laser is not just application specific, there are basically three types of lasers to make your layout less time consuming for specific distances in construction. They are PLUMB ("Dot LASER"), LINE LEVEL ("Line Generators") or ROTARY. For distances from 1' to 150' we recommend PLUMB or LINE GENERATORS. For 200' or more we recommend ROTARY. These are basic rules of thumb for model selection and things can always vary depending on your exact task or application.
