I’ve narrowed it down to 3 lasers for general interior work – cabinets, layout, flooring.
Love to hears you thoughts on which one to go go
PLS 4 (love the form factor)
PLS HVL-100
Bosch GLL3-08
The PLS are rated at 1/8″ – 100 ft
. Bosch is 2X that at 1/4

mobile, I chose PLS
If it's the company you are interested in knowing something about-I can vouch for their standing behind their product and they show a real desire to offer quality goods that last.
I've owned 2 of their lasers and had my hands on a couple more.
The one I use now is the 180-it has done all I've asked and with the added ext. receiver, expands the use of the former system I had-the PLS2.
I see you're interested in the 4-which has the benefit of the plumb dots-a very nice feature if laying out points that are way easier to determine and locate on the floor, counter or other easy to get to areas.
Can lights layed out according to cabinet layout is a prime example-you can locate them for an island or in relation to counter or upper cabinet locations using a temporary top placed on the counters.
or in the walkway areas between counters etc.
I had to get a separate dot laser to do this work-you have them both in one with the 4.
I might add the exterior receiver, because all work is not necessarily limited to indoors or in areas where bright sun might compromise the usually bright enough line.
You can use (indoors probably) glasses that make the line more visible or even a colored target to better illuminate it.
But if the upcharge for the "system" isn't out of range-I'd opt for that.
The 180's line goes "more" than just 180 degress, when placed on an angle in a corner-the line will go around almost completely, all 4 walls-making it very usable as an almost rotating laser.
The other two you list, I'm not familiar with.
Any questions about PLS I would think the company would be forthcoming with answers. Mike from PLS has posted here when given a heads up that there were specific questions about their product.
Best of luck in your decision and use.
