Because there are so many to choose from, it can be hard to find the right rotary laser level. This tool is used in almost any kind of professional construction job, and it can be used in a number of applications — from grade work and foundation digging to layout and masonry work. Both single and dual slope rotary laser levels are used to keep a consistent pitch level across a large area. Dual-slope rotary lasers can move along both the X and Y axes. The X mode is typically used to “walk the line” in vertical mode, which is often needed for aligning metal track. The Y mode is used to “angle the line” in horizontal mode, which is useful for setting slope or pitch on a driveway.
While there are many types of rotary laser levels, here are five of the best ones you can use for grading and landscaping.
This self-leveling dual-slope rotary laser level kit is great for doing exterior work, and it comes with the following accessories:
- Rechargeable battery kit.
- LS-100D laser detector with the Holder 6 rod clamp.
- RC-400 remote control.
- Hard carrying case.

This rotary laser level from Bosch offers a comprehensive solution for precision leveling in both indoor and outdoor applications. The Manual Dual Slope will allow you to adjust the laser’s slope angle on both the X and Y axes, which makes it great for leveling and aligning applications. It also comes with an all-in-one carrying case that will hold all the included accessories.
This rotary laser level is great for leveling, aligning, and squaring applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. The green beam uses the latest in diode technology and is visible up to 30 meters without a receiver. With an IP67 Rating and up to 70 hours of operating time, this is tool is one of the most trusted and rugged choices for any interior project.
This is the best rotary laser level for excavators, flatwork contractors, and landscapers. It also has a wide dual-slope range of 8 degrees, as well both visual and audible alarms that will alert you when it goes beyond its leveling range. The tilt indicator will notify you if the rotary laser level has been bumped or moved, which can reduce your chance of error. It even comes with a full-size 13-foot grade rod.
If you’re looking for a rotary laser level kit that will meet your specific needs, be sure to look at what we have at Engineer Supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common types of laser levels?
Some of the main types of laser levels include:
- Line Lasers— These are the most common types of laser levels. They project an accurate horizontal or vertical reference line onto a surface, and they be used in a number of indoor or outdoor applications.
- Spot Lasers— These laser levels are different from line lasers, because they project a small circle of light onto the surface on which they are focused. They’re often used to transfer points from one surface to another, which is useful for plumbing installations, electrical and HVAC work, as well as in framing applications.
- Combination Lasers— These laser levels can project both lines and beams either independently or simultaneously. They’re great for professionals who need to complete a broad range of projects, because they can switch between modes (depending on the task they need to perform).
- Rotary Lasers— These laser levels are used to start almost every kind of construction job, and they can be used for everything from grade and layout work to masonry. Both the dual-slope and single-slope models are used to keep a continuous pitch across a large area, with dual-slope models being able to work on both the horizontal and vertical axes.

Can I use the same laser level for both indoor and outdoor applications?
It can be hard to see a laser beam outside with just the naked eye. In some cases, it can even be impossible. That’s why many laser levels come with special red or green tinted goggles to make the beam more visible in the daylight. You’ll also need to use a laser detector, which will locate the beam whether it’s visible or not.
What can a dot laser level be used for?
Some of the applications for a dot laser include but may not be limited to:
- Plumbing installations.
- Electrical work.
- HVAC applications.
- Framing applications.
Feel free to look at the broad selection we have at Engineer Supply. We’re sure you’ll be able to find a dot or
rotary laser level that will meet your specific needs.
What kind of tasks can be performed with a line laser level?
Home contractors can use a line laser level for starting any of the following projects:
- Drywall installations.
- HVAC work.
- Leveling ceiling joists.
- Rafter alignment.
- Hanging wallpaper.
- Stenciling or painting.
- Sprinkler installation.
- Wall and floor tiling.
Electricians can use it to install electrical outlets and switches, aligning conduit and wiring, as well as for wiring and tracking lighting.
Is a green laser beam brighter than a red laser beam?
A green laser beam will appear to be four times brighter than a red laser beam operating at the same power output. In ambient light conditions, our ability to see visible light peaks at about 555 nanometers and drops significantly within a difference of about 50 nanometers. Green laser beams emit light at a frequency of about 530 nanometers, which is near the 550 nanometer peak. Red laser beams emit light at about 635 nanometers, which is where our sensitivity is considerably less.
