Jorgensen Green 360° laser level with tripod, 100 ft review

Q: What does a 360° plane actually change?

How many times you move the tool. A 110-degree fan — which is what the other lasers on this shelf project — lights rather less than a third of a circle, so leveling round a room means setting the laser three or four times and trusting that each new position lands on the last line. A full horizontal circle lights all four walls from one spot, once. For a suspended ceiling, tiling round a room or a continuous run of cabinetry that is not a convenience but the difference between one datum and four. This shelf's introduction compares the number of lines and planes; this is the only 360 on the shelf.

Q: Why is there no accuracy figure?

There is no good reason, and it is the one thing to weigh against the rest. This shelf's introduction lists stated accuracy per meter as one of five comparisons, and this listing publishes none at any distance — while the eighteen-dollar laser on this shelf states ±1/8 inch at 30 feet and the thirty-eight-dollar one ±1/9 inch at 33 feet. A 360-degree head is also mechanically harder to keep true than a fixed fan, because the beam is swept through a cone rather than projected through one lens. Ask the seller for a tolerance before relying on it over a long span.

Q: Is the included target the same as a receiver?

No, and the difference decides whether this works outdoors. A target is a colored plate that makes a faint line visible to the EYE against a bright background — useful in a sunlit room, useless at thirty meters in the open. A receiver detects the beam electrically and needs the laser to have a pulse mode, which this one does not publish. So the target raises the indoor working distance and the tool remains an indoor tool. One laser on this shelf has a pulse mode, and this site carries both a target plate shelf and a receiver shelf.

The only laser here that throws a full horizontal circle, with the tripod, the bracket and the target all in the box.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

What the figures leave us with The only laser on this shelf that lights a whole room from one position, with the widest published self-leveling range at ±4.5°, Type-C charging, and a kit that answers the hub buying tip before it is asked — tripod, magnetic bracket and target all included. For a ceiling grid or tiling round four walls that is the right tool here. It publishes no accuracy figure at all at eighty-three dollars, and no pulse mode, so the target is as far outdoors as it goes.

NO accuracy figure. No pulse mode. No drop height.

A circle, not a fan

Which changes how many times the tool gets moved.

A 110-degree fan — what every other laser on this shelf projects — lights rather less than a third of a circle.

Leveling round a room then means setting the laser three or four times, and trusting each new position to land on the last line.

A full horizontal plane lights all four walls from one spot. Once.

Suspended ceiling, tiling round a room, a continuous run of cabinetry: that is the difference between one datum and four.

This shelf’s introduction compares the number of lines and planes. This is the only 360 on the shelf.

Four and a half degrees

The widest published self-leveling range here.

Against ±4° and 4° ± 1° on the two other lasers that publish one at all.

This shelf’s introduction calls that range the specification that decides whether the tool is usable: beyond it the head parks and warns instead of guessing.

Half a degree sounds like nothing. It is the difference between a tripod set on a screed and one set on a finished floor that falls to a drain.

And no accuracy figure, at eighty-three dollars

Which is the one thing to weigh against the rest.

The eighteen-dollar laser on this shelf publishes ±1/8 inch at 30 feet. The thirty-eight-dollar one publishes ±1/9 inch at 33 feet, in two units.

This publishes none, at any distance.

A 360-degree head is also harder to keep true than a fixed fan: the beam is swept through a cone rather than projected through one lens.

Ask the seller before trusting it over a long span.

Everything the buying tip asks for, in the box

“A line laser is only as level as what it stands on. Budget for a tripod or a clamp bracket at the same time.”

Tripod, 17.3 to 63 inches, with a bubble level and a quick-release plate. AND a magnetic L-bracket. AND a green target.

Seventeen point three inches is a real floor-level minimum, which the tripod shelf on this site says matters as much as the maximum.

The target is not a receiver

And the difference decides whether this goes outdoors.

A target is a colored plate that makes a faint line visible to the EYE against a bright background. Useful in a sunlit room. Useless at thirty meters in the open.

A receiver detects the beam ELECTRICALLY, and needs the laser to have a pulse mode. This one does not publish one.

So the target raises the indoor working distance, and the tool stays indoors.

What it has, and what it lacks

Strengths

A full 360° horizontal plane, unique on this shelf
±4.5°, the widest self-leveling range published here
Tripod, magnetic bracket AND a laser target in the box
Type-C rechargeable rather than AA cells
A tripod that goes down to 17.3 inches
IP54 with a TPE shock cover

Compromises

No accuracy figure of any kind, at eighty-three dollars
No pulse mode, so no receiver despite the target
No drop height published
Three brightness levels, against four on a cheaper laser here
A 360° plane is dimmer per degree than a 110° fan at the same power
Eighty-three dollars, the second most expensive laser on this shelf

Specifications

Illumination	Three line modes: vertical, 360° HORIZONTAL, and cross — stated, with a wide expansion angle and a working distance up to 100 ft. This shelf's introduction compares the number of lines and planes, and a full horizontal circle is a different answer from a fan: a 110° laser lights one corner of a room and has to be moved three times to light the rest
Measuring mode	Self-levels within ±4.5° with the switch unlocked, and the line flashes beyond that range — stated. Four and a half degrees is the WIDEST published self-leveling range on this shelf, against ±4° and 4° ± 1° on the two others that publish one, and this shelf's introduction calls that range the specification that decides whether the tool is usable. A locked mode holds the laser steady for angled layouts, stair rails and decorative installations
Stated accuracy	NOT PUBLISHED. No tolerance per meter and no figure at any distance appears anywhere on this listing — on a kit at eighty-three dollars, where the eighteen-dollar laser on this shelf publishes ±1/8 inch at 30 ft and the thirty-eight-dollar one ±1/9 inch at 33 ft. This shelf's introduction lists stated accuracy per meter as one of five comparisons
Supplied	The fullest kit on this shelf: a 100 ft green laser, a 63-inch adjustable aluminum tripod with a built-in bubble level and a 1/4"-20 quick-release plate, a magnetic L-bracket rotating through 360°, A GREEN LASER TARGET, a Type-C cable and a manual. This shelf's buying tip says to budget for a tripod or clamp bracket at the same time; this ships both, and a target as well
Reference and mounting	A tripod adjusting from 17.3 to 63 inches with a 1/4"-20 quick-release plate, plus a magnetic L-bracket that rotates 360° and attaches to metal surfaces. Seventeen point three inches is a genuine floor-level minimum, which the tripod shelf on this site says matters as much as the maximum
Power	Type-C rechargeable, stated, with three adjustable brightness modes. Three settings against four on one laser here and one on the rest — and rechargeable rather than AA cells, which on a green diode is the difference between buying cells and plugging it in
Ingress protection	IP54 dustproof and water-resistant, with a TPE soft rubber cover stated for shock resistance and grip. No drop height is published, where two lasers on this shelf publish one
Functions	No pulse mode is published, so a receiver will not find this beam — which matters because the kit includes a target instead. One laser on this shelf has a pulse mode

What gets asked here

What does a 360° plane actually change?

How many times you move the tool. A 110-degree fan — which is what the other lasers on this shelf project — lights rather less than a third of a circle, so leveling round a room means setting the laser three or four times and trusting that each new position lands on the last line. A full horizontal circle lights all four walls from one spot, once. For a suspended ceiling, tiling round a room or a continuous run of cabinetry that is not a convenience but the difference between one datum and four. This shelf's introduction compares the number of lines and planes; this is the only 360 on the shelf.

A target is a colored plate that makes a faint line visible to the EYE against a bright background — useful in a sunlit room, useless at thirty meters in the open. A receiver detects the beam electrically and needs the laser to have a pulse mode, which this one does not publish. So the target raises the indoor working distance and the tool remains an indoor tool. One laser on this shelf has a pulse mode, and this site carries both a target plate shelf and a receiver shelf.

Model	Price	Illumination	Measuring mode
Jorgensen Green 360° laser level with tripod, 100 ft	$83	Three line modes: vertical, 360° HORIZONTAL, and cross — stated, with a wide expansion angle and a working distance up to 100 ft. This shelf's introduction compares the number of lines and planes, and a full horizontal circle is a different answer from a fan: a 110° laser lights one corner of a room and has to be moved three times to light the rest	Self-levels within ±4.5° with the switch unlocked, and the line flashes beyond that range — stated. Four and a half degrees is the WIDEST published self-leveling range on this shelf, against ±4° and 4° ± 1° on the two others that publish one, and this shelf's introduction calls that range the specification that decides whether the tool is usable. A locked mode holds the laser steady for angled layouts, stair rails and decorative installations
Bosch Self-leveling cross-line laser, green beam, 50 ft	$88	Sold as a green beam, stated up to 4× brighter than standard red — and the Class II bullet on the same page reads "Laser line specifications: 630 - 650 nm; <5 mW". SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY TO SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY Nanometers IS RED. A green diode runs between about 515 and 532 nm. One of the two statements is wrong, and this shelf's introduction opens on exactly this specification	A Smart Pendulum System, stated to self-level and to indicate an out-of-level condition by blinking, locking when switched off for secure transport. The transport lock is the valuable half — an unlocked pendulum is what breaks in a van. NO SELF-Leveling RANGE IS PUBLISHED, and this shelf's introduction calls that the specification that decides whether the tool is usable
Motovera Green cross-line laser, 100 ft, pulse mode, tripod included	$38	A green laser diode stated 4× brighter than standard red, visible indoors to 100 ft, across a 110° projection angle, with FOUR brightness modes. Four settings is unique here: a green line at full power is dazzling in a dark room and barely enough in a sunlit one	Self-leveling within ±4°, with the line flashing continuously beyond that — stated, and Motovera adds that the flashing is a safety feature and not a malfunction. A manual mode locks the pendulum for sloped staircases and custom angles, and the laser then flashes once every five seconds as a reminder that the lines are no longer a level reference
Prexiso Manual cross-line laser, 30 ft, angle dial 15°–75°	$33	Three laser lines from one switch — horizontal, vertical and cross — at an exacting 90° to each other, stated. Class II with a maximum output under 1 mW, which is the lowest power on this shelf and the reason the stated reach is 30 ft rather than 100	NOT SELF-Leveling. Leveling is by bubble vial, and the angle is set on a dial reading from 15° to 75°. This shelf's introduction treats the self-leveling range as the specification that decides whether a tool is usable; on this laser there is none, and that is the design: a dial you set deliberately beats a pendulum you have to fight when the line is meant to be sloped
