How to choose the right cross laser:
When choosing a cross line laser, it is important to consider your needs and working conditions. Here are some important factors:

Accuracy and range: The Kapro 842 offers ±0.4 mm/m accuracy and a range of 15 meters, which is sufficient for most indoor jobs. If you need a longer range, consider a model with a laser receiver.
Self-leveling function: Self-leveling laser levels, such as the Kapro 842, speed up work and reduce errors. This feature is especially useful on construction sites where the surface is not always perfectly level.
Durability and protection rating: IP54 protection and impact-resistant construction make the Kapro 842 a durable choice even for demanding conditions.
Versatility: The Kapro 842's manual mode allows you to mark slopes, which is not a standard feature in all cross lasers.
Power source: Easily available AA batteries make using the Kapro 842 effortless, but for long-term projects, a rechargeable model may be a better option.
