Last night Kathleen and I were watching something we had saved on our TiVo when I saw an ad for the Strait-Line Laser Level X3. The ad was interesting enough for me to stop fast forwarding and re-watch in real time.

I did some research this morning and I think the Strait-Line X3 gives a home handyman a little more control over the level lines than many other laser levelling tools. The features that stood out for me are:

• three-axis control with bubble vials for one or two-wall leveling
• Micro-Adjust knob to help get the line to the exact height needed
• 3M Command Strips for clean mounting on walls without damage

Compare the Laser Level X3 to similar products like the Black & Decker Bullseye Crosshair Laser Level and I think you'll see the difference in features.
