The Strait-Line 120 laser level is useful when hanging cabinets or suspended ceilings. The level uses a laser beam that projects a visible line up to 120-feet. This prevents having to draw lines on walls or guess where there is no solid surface. The length of the laser beam is adjustable. Manually adjusting the Strait-Line 120 laser level is a matter of adjusting the tilt angle of the laser head. However, the longer you make the line, the less bright it becomes.
