While traditional bubble levels are useful for quick checks and verification, they can't match the accuracy and reliability that laser levels provide. Best Laser LevelsBest Overall:Most Durable:Best Value:Best Budget Green-Line:Best for Short Distances:What to ConsiderTypeCross-Line: Standard cross-line models are the most common type of laser level, projecting one vertical and one horizontal, forward-facing beam. 360-Degree: For projects that span an entire room or space, like installing a chair rail or wainscoting, go with a 360-degree laser level. Green lasers are more expensive to manufacture because they require additional components and more energy than red lasers in order to generate their green color. VisibilityThe range of the beam also affects a laser level’s overall visibility, and all laser levels provide a maximum distance at which the beam is still effective.
