Do you ever feel like your ceiling is sloping down? Why the Leica Roteo Construction Laser is your Solution

Well, it has happened to me. The contractor was working on plans for renovating the kitchen and all he needed was to take one look. He said it is a fairly common issue for walls and ceilings not to be level in older homes. Which makes sense; after all, in those days Leica wasn’t around to manufacture their Roteo Self-Leveling Lasers.

Working in construction nowadays means being equipped with the right tools. Not only that, you want compact tools that can be used for multiple applications. Because nobody likes to schlep more than they have to, right?


Leica Roteo Self-Leveling Laser for inclinationsLeica Roteo Self-Leveling Laser for Aligning CeilingsAll four members of the Roteo (pronounced row-tay-o) family each weigh under 5-lbs. and are designed to move from task to task without hassle. Whether you’re aligning windows and partitions or marking right angles, each of the Leica Roteo rotary laser levels will perform with a high accuracy of 1/8 inches at 100 feet. They are all also IP54 dust and splash proof, so you don’t have to be concerned about how they are handling the messy job site.




Roteo Family Resemblance

Leica Roteo Green Beam Self Leveling Laser
Like in all families, each Leica Roteo laser has a unique specialty that the others don’t. The most obvious difference is with regard to the 35G, a green beam that provides the best visibility, four times that of the red beams. The increased visibility is perfect for longer ranges and for use in bright light without a detector. The 25H is a horizontal laser that is great for inclinations, because some things like driveways and gardens, are meant to be on a slope. The 20HV (HV standing for horizontal and vertical) is a basic interior leveler that comes with a nice package, including a manual wall mount and remote control. Both of these accessories enable you to work with the laser without having to be next to it. The Roteo 35, also a horizontal and vertical laser, is in a much higher league with its motorized mount that moves up or down the ceiling grid or wall with ease. By taking advantage of the motorized mount, you save precious time when dealing with drywall and ceiling installation. Another great feature that the 35 and 35G actually have in common (they are both 35’s after all) is the ability to work on a slant, which comes in  handy when working on a staircase or roof pitch.

Getting back to that sibling thing, ever wonder why some genes go in groups? Well, same thing happens with technology. The 20HV, 25H and 35 can run up to 160 hours on regular alkaline batteries, but the 35G doesn’t last as long, although even that will give you up to 40 hours. The 20HV, 35 and 35G all share varying scanning angles and five preset rotating speeds.
