First thing when you take the level out of the package you notice that it feels quality. When the unit is in the off position it locks the pendulum protecting it from being smacked around. Turn the switch on and you are amazed at how bright it is. Johnson states that the level has a 150′ indoor range which we easily achieved in our tests. The level has an accuracy of 1/8″ at 35 feet and levels up fast. The lines are crisp and bright and you get around 20hrs of battery life. The laser has 2 modes auto and manual, in auto mode the unit self levels and a beep alerts you that the laser is not level. Manual mode allows you to use the laser at extreme angles, which comes in handy. There is also a slot on the side to calibrate the tool if you need to, we dropped the unit several times and it did not need to be re calibrated.
Johnson Level is known as an industry leader, they have been around for years. The 40-6625 is one of the best cross-line laser levels we have seen. It is accurate, rugged and bright making it great for any job and backed by a solid 3 year warranty this is a quality tool all around. We used this tool to hang some cabinets and it worked like a charm, we even dropped it several times with no issues.

I got it a couple years now and have found it to be a good tool. Stays accurate and seems brighter than the Dewalt equivalent. I will say none of these work in direct sunlight, unless your within a few feet of whatever it is your working on.
That is a great laser level, i am thinking aswel of buying one but i am not sure yet! :-s
