Top-10 Transit Levels
Loved in the USA

The Topcon RL-H5A Self Leveling Horizontal Rotary Laser is designed for a variety of construction applications including grading and excavating. One of its strong points is the IP66 rating, which makes it resistant to dust and water, ensuring durability even in harsh job site conditions. The self-leveling feature is user-friendly; with just a press of a button, the device levels itself and can automatically relevel if disturbed, ensuring continuous accuracy.

Speaking of accuracy, it offers a high precision of ±10 arc seconds and an impressive range, covering up to an 800-meter diameter, which is beneficial for large-scale projects. The kit is comprehensive, including a receiver, sensor holder, and carrying case, adding value and convenience. However, it is relatively heavy at 5.58 kilograms, which might be a consideration for those who need to move it frequently. Additionally, although it is battery-powered, batteries are not included, so you’ll need to source them separately.

With a solid build quality, this rotary laser is highly rated and popular in its category. It is particularly suitable for professionals in construction who require a reliable and accurate leveling tool.

The Topcon RL-H5A Laser Transit Leveler Kit is a comprehensive package, ideal for construction tasks like leveling cabinets, roof slopes, and road grades. It includes the RL-H5A laser level, LS-80X rotary laser receiver, a tripod, and a 13ft fiber rod, all housed in a protective storage case. The laser level is self-leveling with an internal magnet and pendulum system, ensuring accurate readings within 5 degrees. The LS-80X receiver is highly precise, detecting up to 1mm in high precision mode and has a good range, making it practical for various job sites.

The kit requires multiple batteries (4 D-cell for the leveler and 2 AA for the receiver), which are not included, potentially adding to the initial cost. The tripod is sturdy with adjustable legs (36-60 inches) and spiked feet for stability. The entire kit is housed in a durable, latching hard case, ensuring protection and easy transportation. Weighing around 28.9 pounds, it is relatively heavy, which can be cumbersome for frequent transport. The product's dimensions (60 x 12 x 14 inches) suggest it might need significant storage space. This kit is well-suited for professionals who need reliable and precise leveling tools on construction sites, though its weight and battery requirements are worth considering.

This laser level is battery-operated, and the included alkaline batteries provide ample power for long usage periods. The build quality seems robust with aluminum material being used, but it is relatively heavy at 32 pounds, which might be a concern for portability.

The Spectra Precision LL300N-1 is a solid choice for construction professionals or DIY enthusiasts who need a dependable and easy-to-use leveling tool, especially in outdoor environments.
