The Stabila LAX 500 G (03521) is a self-leveling 12V green cross-line plumb laser designed for interior layout work such as drywall, ceilings, partitions, tile, electrical and cabinet installation. This is a cross-line laser kit that includes a line receiver, battery, charger, laser base, wall bracket, target plate and a carrying case.

The laser projects cross-lines and plumb points using GREENBEAM technology, which is easier to see indoors than red. Leveling accuracy is 1/8 in. at 30 ft., and the beam accuracy for the up and down plumb points is 1/8 in. at 30 ft. each. The visible line range is 130 ft. (40 m).

A manual mode locks the pendulum so you can set the lines at any angle you need, such as for stair stringers or sloped layouts. The lines are pulse-modulated, which lets a line receiver pick them up where the beam is hard to see.

The removable laser base lets you work over a bottom plate or base track. The laser also mounts with a 1/4-in. thread, rare-earth magnets or the wall bracket. The housing is shock-absorbing with protective sliders, and the carrying case is included. The laser is rated IP 54, and Stabila notes that rating applies without the rechargeable battery installed.

Power comes from the Stabila 12V Li-Power 2.0 Ah battery, with up to 20 hours of runtime and a charge time of 45 minutes or less.

This kit fits drywall and ceiling crews, tile setters, electricians, cabinet installers and anyone running pipe or cable who wants level and plumb references plus a receiver.
