An Overview Of The Dewalt DW074KDT Laser Level
The DW074KDT from DEWALT is suitable for using both indoors and outdoors with it’s tough built cage around the rotary head and the weather proof design. The cage is made up of several thin struts that are sure to guarantee consistent power and prevent those god forsaken blind spots you run into with many other laser levels.

Dewalt DW074KDT Rotary Laser Pros
- Works with D cell batteries, which can prove to be a huge advantage over rotary laser levels that have to be charged as there is not always access to power to charge the Dewalt DW074KDT Laser Level
- The vertical rotary laser mode is quick and easy to set up and get level as you see in the video above
- This laser level kit comes with everything you need to start using it right out of the box.
- The 3 year Dewalt warranty
Dewalt DW074KDT Self Leveling Laser Cons
- Although they claim that this laser works up to 1500′ with the transmitter we would not recommend going much more than 600′ if you looking for accuracy
- We would have liked to see a hard carrying case that the Dewalt DW074KDT would fit tight into for further protection when transporting
Our Final Verdict Of This Dewalt Laser Level
So there you have it, our review of the Dewalt DW074KDT Laser Level. We were very impressed with how simple and user friendly this rotary laser level is. As mentioned we would have liked to see a hard shelled case to transport this Dewalt Laser but overall we are very happy with it.
