Summary: Really, really useful
Comment: Bought this to help with layout out some tilework. It's great having both horizontal and vertical lines that can be viewed on floors and walls. Wish I had bought it earlier when I was building a new deck and needed to line up the framing and decking.

Summary: Accuracy greatly exceeds specifications
Comment: I measured the accuracy of the FatMax I received. (1) The leveling (horizontal angle of the center of the projected cross) spec that is printed in the manual is 0.025-degree, and I measured better than 0.01-degree. (2) The plumb accuracy is hard to measure and no spec is given in the manual. I measured better than 0.05-degree, and it probably is much better than that. (3) The horizontal (right-to-left) line spec printed in the manual is 0.045-degrees. On my FatMax the line up to 45-degrees from straight ahead is level to better than 0.007-degrees. Beyond 45-degrees, the line curves down on both sides so that at 80-degrees from straight ahead it has dropped 0.030-degrees. I myself cannot speak to its robustness, since I have been treating it carefully, but its accuracy is much better than the company claimed.

Summary: On the Level
Comment: This did everything I wanted. I was surprised the numerous uses I found for it. I found out it works well on a camera tripod. The only drawback is it does not perform well in bright light which is true for all lasers.

Summary: Big time saver
Comment: I've used this laser level for wall tile, floor tile, hanging cabinets, building a level bench on sloping ground and painting a 16 ft diagonal straight line. This tool is excellent and saved me a huge amount of time.
As to accuracy, I've had no problem. Regarding the complaint that two units were way off, I suspect he moved the laser as he worked on the wall. You have to leave the laser in precisely the same spot, you can't move it along as you move down the wall. I made this mistake. I wanted the line a little brighter where I was working, so I moved the tripod, thinking, it would still be at the same height. It was the same height off the floor, but the floor wasn't level, so my new line was 1/4" higher when I moved the laser.
As to the complaint that you have to raise it to the height you want the line projected at, well that is just how any laser would work. It is like complaining that the problem with a screwdriver is you have to get it right up next to the screw. It may be inconvenient, but it is how it works.
As to brightness, I've had no problem indoors. it is easily visible at 20 feet. I haven't used it in a larger area. Outdoors, it is better than others that I've used, but it is impossible to see in bright sunlight. Working in the shade it was fine.

Summary: How precise did you need your lines?
Comment: I used this product to hang slatwall (that stuff you see in showrooms where the hooks click into the slats). Unfortunately its level is not good enough for this application - with slatwall you see very quickly when you do not have true level due to the length of the wall (where that small amount of variance can really add up at over 20 feet). Thinking that I must have gotten a 'bad' one, I exchanged for another unit. The second unit was also out of true. I am not sure why these things weren't level, however I suspect that because the internal leveling mechanism never locks during transport (it just bangs around in the case) it probably loses calibration during transport. There is not user re-calibration so once it's off it's off. The second unit has been returned and I intend to purchase a cross hair laser in a more professional brand (Such as the Hilti PML 32, for example). It will not doubt be pricier, but looking at crooked slatwall (or kitchen cabinets?) for the next 10 years makes some extra dough worth it.
