The DW079KD self-leveling rotary laser from DeWalt is built with a covered rotary head cage with multiple thin struts that minimize blind spots. The laser provides accuracy at plus or minus 1/8-inch per 100 feet and has a Hi-Alert feature that turns the laser off when it is no longer level with its original position. The DW079KD has a 5 megawatt beam, the brightest Class IIIa beam in the market, according to the company. It is visible indoors up to 100 feet and has a 2,000-foot working diameter. A scan mode button displays a laser chalk line that is controlled by the wireless remote or by the control panel. Private mode on the remote control eliminates interference between multiple users. The laser is powered by DeWalt 9.6- to 18-volt batteries, providing 30 hours of run time. The unit is used for internal and external applications including site, concrete and elevation leveling, excavation, post installation, multi-level construction, block-layout and benchmark.
