Bought from another online vendor along with the stud finder for a total of around $20. Works well for me.
This one uses an adhesive disc. I thought it might come in handy since it's very compact and easily transportable. Well, if you're using an adhesive disc, you have only one shot to get the placement right. Not much of a problem if you have an unlimited supply of discs.
Have you tried to find replacement discs anywhere. No enclosed price list or order form. If you are good enough to use only one per job, then you're out after only six placements. I got one of these little gizmos as a "giveaway" in a stud finder package. Most reliable levels have ways to hold the level on the wall using suction or velcro. The assumption is that you know exactly where you plan to put the level on the wall, both in height and length. I can't find them online (even here on Amazon where you buy the device) and Zircon doesn't sell them from their website (although you can call their Customer Service and order more).
It makes you wonder if the discs will eventually cost more than this gizmo.If you need a serious laser level that you can move without it costing you money, consider something like the Titan 15105 4-in-1 or the Strait-Line 6041101CD LL120 (Amazon sells these). Unfortunately, it was apparently designed by people who never use a laser level on a wall. If you've mismeasured, then you have to peel the disc off and put on another. These use suction which is much easier to move around for adjustments.If you like the cute blue ball, I hope you don't have a lot of levelling to do. However, this thing comes with six.
This is really a nifty little product to have around in your toolbox, junk drawer, or anywhere else you keep such things. Buy one, and keep it handy. I couldn't be more simple to use, and can level anything.
I have given it two stars because I would expect a bit longer life for this product. It works very well to hang pictures etc. This is a great product for short term use. The problem I have with this product is that in about an year, liquid inside evaporated leaving a big bubble. It explains why the warranty is for only one year. Now it is pretty useless since the bubble inside is too big to align it well.
I used this tool within minutes of receiving it. I bought a bunch for my friends. It works great, with the exception being the rotation ball isn't very stable. That just means you have to be careful not to touch the wall while hanging things.
