Milwaukee M12, 3-Plane Laser- Brightest High Intensity Green Available! Model

[@LilJ36265]

I’ve watched quite a few reviews on this laser to learn all the functions. You’ve been the most help. Thanks for the breakdown man.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

I appreciate that! I try my best.

[@MTLUK]

Same I can agree 👍

[@jimmyf7385]

How you liking it. Can’t decide on which to invest in

[@TkB97]

I use this laser for everything all the time. I find it especially useful for shower doors, walls, shelfs, sinks + more. It saves me so much time. No more lines that has to be erased👍

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Same here. I used mine yesterday for cutting out a small section of drywall.

[@Terexken]

I could see the three line laser being an exceptional tool for building and repairing custom / racing or damaged automotive frames. And to use it to align components on custom frames and engine installations.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@HoveyFarms]

That's really weird, this is the reason I'm looking at this, when I start my next frame project

[@bsorbe]

I bought this laser for myself for Christmas, building a barndo inside of a steel framed building, this is perfect for laying out stud walls. Thanks for the video review, very helpful.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Glad to hear it, Brian. I recommend this one and the Milwaukee 165' laser detector if you ever do outdoor work.

[@awesomeness1113]

I'm a commercial electrician and I use the 3 plane laser for fixture layouts and everything else that needs to be square. Often exposed work that runs perpendicular to an existing wall is where this laser comes in handy. I call using this laser the buy one get one free method.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Great to hear that, this laser definitely is handy. I don't think Milwaukee also advertises it as a plumb bob, but the intersections are accurate for that type of use, which some electricians may need from time to time.

[@chipped]

Thanks for info on the plumb point!

[@tylerrainville2533]

This would be really nice for shooting a line around a whole room when mounting receptacle boxes both new and old work

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Great suggestion, I didn't think about that.

[@twiglet2214]

I think i would use this on my allotment to get my leeks in nice straight rows - it would take my plot to a whole new level !

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Yes, 100%

[@kellyk3742]

I am a plumber that often times installs shower valves and diverters on opposite shower walls that have to mirror each other. This multiple plane laser would be perfect especially on existing/old construction because the walls are usually not square or have consistent level points.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Great idea. Many people may measure from the floor, but your idea makes sense.

[@ironbear8469]

I'm a new construction plumber. The plumb Bob is perfect for cast iron measurement cuts 40ft in the air!

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Cutting cast iron isn't as easy as other materials, so I'm betting you only want to cut it once.

[@ljpate]

I purchased for floor to ceiling glass shower enclosures, glass office partitions and herculite doors. It's very nice to have a laser that makes complete circuits around the room

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Yes, 100%. This is the laser to get, so you can do all of those projects.

[@JoshR512]

I watched this video almost a year ago and said I would never need a laser. I just received my three plane. Was a bit upset and thought it didn’t have plumb. Thanks for going over what it does. This year flew by. Happy holidays.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Thanks for sharing and glad I could help. I don't think they advertise plumb, but I'm glad it does. I have a crooked wall that I built in my basement many years ago. I wish I had the laser back then. If I hired someone to fix it now, it would probably be the cost of this laser. Another words, this should pay for itself in no time.🙌

[@No_bread-and-circuses]

Thanks for the info and demo. I just bought this today so I can level out some ground and then use it to make sure my 4X4s as a base for a shed is level. Probably about impossible to do well with just a stick level.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Yes, this is way better than trying a stick level! I'm sure you'll find lots of uses for this.

[@gabrielhollar7446]

Just bought the 3 plane and I'm using it to run EMT to machines and make sure machines are square and true to themselves

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

It's an amazing tool, definitely worth the investment.

[@CamoVaqueros]

I’ll be using this for laying out for all my jobs

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

It's awesome!

[@marvellstarks2434]

Thanks for the knowledge. I just ordered the 3 plane lazer based off this video

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Good choice! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@Entity2688]

Confirmed that I’ll be buying this. I’ve been using 2 or 3 dewalt laser levels for tile and cabinet installation. But this blows them out of the water.

[@MyFatherLoves]

I use this laser for laying out acoustic treatment, speaker positions, riser, etc... for home theaters.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Nice!

Another great video Mark! I would utilize this on a upcoming project for my grandfather remodeling his bathroom for better access

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Thanks man! This laser would come in handy for that. I've even used a cross line laser to hang a toilet paper bracket in our small bathroom, haha. It comes in handy for all size projects.

[@mvilla235]

I want one so bad but I’m just a journeyman/foreman of my company and can’t swallow that price tag. I do custom homes with huge open spaces so this would help with layout on cans, receptacles, switches, etc.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

I think you'll find lots of uses for one of these and it will speed up your workflow.

[@georgedavall9449]

Excellent! I was really surprised on the accuracy of the plumb bob! Awesome! These are now on my list. I see someone is a B&H shopper? ( being a nosy SOB I am 😁). I’ve shopped with them for years. Perhaps you’re updating some of your equipment for your channel? Your videos already are really good quality. BTW, I like it when you do a video outside, and it gets to be late in the day. I really enjoy those, for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄😀😁👍👍👍✌🏻😁🇺🇸

[@jamessquire8206]

Thanks so much Mark, I really appreciate i! It is hard to lay the tape straight, during a length of 44 ft, with nothing to parallel. Which makes it extremely hard to keep square.
