Hilti PR26 Green Laser Level

Seeing Green. According to Hilti, the new PR26 self-leveling rotating laser level’s green beam is easier to see than the standard red. The laser can project a stationary dot or rotate level, plumb, or sloped lines, and it projects a dot out its top for 90-degree reference. Its remote control/receiver can control the unit from a distance of 163 feet and detect the beam from up to 488 feet away. The laser runs for 22 hours on the included rechargeable battery or three D cells. It costs $1,999 from Hilti. Hilti, 800/879-8000. www.us.hilti.com
