I cannot get it to come back on. I have switched the batteries, and still, nothing. The leveling backlight comes on, but not the projected laser.Also, this thing is so not level. I just got this yesterday, and am returning it today. The first time I turned it on, the laser beam was on for a couple seconds, then disappeared. If I line it up to where zero would be (if it were marked), it is about 5 degrees away from being level.
When used in brighter lit rooms it is hard to see down the length of the wall; it starts our strong and weakens as the line extends. The only problem is the brightness of the red laser light. This is good for me since I don't have many uses to use a level; except to hang pictures and curtain rods. I liked the ease of using this product. The different angles that you can use this at is a great feature. This product makes it much easier for me to hang them straight. I like the drywall nail and magnet on back of level. I can also do it alone; no need to ask someone if what I'm hanging is straight.
Black and Decker, you have such great ideas. My husband, who is very knowledgeable with tools, told me that I had wasted my money. I bought this tool at Target with high hopes that I could hang pictures without the help of my never-available, handyman husband. It is impossible to read the leveling device and using the pin to hold it on the wall is impractical since it is damaging. Please allow your engineers to design something that really works even if it cost more or takes more time to get to market.
While this product was effective in completing the projects I needed to have done, It was hard to read the leveling device to adequately make sure the beam was straight.
I haven't decided if I'm going to return it or take it apart and see if I can adjust it. Also as already mentioned in another review, the center mark is very hard to see. While the auto leveling feature works fine (checked with a 4' level and a water level at 34'), the AnglePro function is off by about 3 degrees (at 8 feet it's off by 4") which is plainly visible just by eye. I might try to paint it with thinned out model paint (if I don't return the unit).
