DEWALT Laser Level Mounting Pole, 1/4-Inch Base (DW0882),6.4 x 5.75 x 31.5 inches

I really like this laser pole. It does take some time to figure out how it is supposed to work, but once you understand that, it's simple, strong works well. The round rubber disc pad on the bottom did pop off, so I used some contact cement to glue it back on. Fortunately I saw that if fell off, and picked it up. For contractors...you might want to check it time to time to ensure the sticky tape is holding it on.

After receiving the reshipment with all the pieces parts, I've tried this product out and it fits the need and works exceptionally well. The poles screw together (basically you put as many in as needed to get close to filling the height of where you are working) and the holding platform slips onto the poles and slides up and down relatively easily, until you tighten the holding screw (big plastic knob). The ratcheting extension on the bottom takes up most of the rest of the space and the spring-foot on the bottom does the rest. The platform has a bubble level to allow you to get the pole arbitrarily close to vertical, which helps (even with self-leveling instruments). The laser level attaches to the 1/4-inch screw on the platform, and the screw is turned with a large wheel knob that is easy to deal with. If there is remaining slack, that can be taken out with a nut on the bottom of the platform screw; hand-tightening seems sufficient. This now allows me to easily set the laser level much higher than the tripod would allow, so it's truly a winner. The poles go into the main part of the canvas case and the platform and the ceiling puck you screw into the top pole go into a pouch on the side of the case. Add some rose-colored glasses and you're good to go. (I haven't tried this unit on a popcorn ceiling yet, but the ceiling puck is fairly large so maybe it won't make the same impression a pole-lamp would.) ADDITIONAL INFO: I did try the unit on a popcorn ceiling and it seemed to have no bad effect. Also, it appears that the ratcheting extension I mentioned is a relatively new modification which actually makes setup quicker and surer, though the instructions included were for the older, twisting lock mechanism. Definitely a good way to get the laser higher easily.

I bought this DeWalt aluminum extension pole setup in October and expected it to hold up to regular job‑site use. Instead, it started failing at around the six‑month mark. First, one section locked up and wouldn’t unscrew. I kept using it, but within two weeks another section seized, and then the ceiling cap got stuck as well. At that point the entire pole was unusable. I’ve been installing showers and tile for years, and I still have my old Bosch setup that’s over 14 years old and still works. Unfortunately, it’s not ideal for my DeWalt laser, so I had hoped this pole would be a long‑term solution. The aluminum fittings on this one were the weak point, they malfunctioned, seized, and ultimately made the pole worthless. I ended up throwing it away after just six months. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend this product.

I was looking at the Bosch and this one. The Bosch almost won because the Dewault pole didn't have any reviews yet. I decided to give the Dewault a shot because buying with the laser gave 25% off accessories including this pole. I also bought the Dewault tripod. That one is a bit questionable. That will be another review. I received it two days ago and I put it together to see the build quality and the design. So far, I like it. It is nicely made for the most part. It is very easy to set up. It is made of aluminum. You start by screwing the base extender section to your first section. From there you add sections as needed for the height you will be working with. All of the poles have some graduation marks and when you screw them together they made sure they all stayed inline. A bit of forward thinking here. Then you top it of with the round piece that contacts the ceiling. With the base retracted all of the way, the pole should fit close to the ceiling. From here I lean it to the side a little and slide out the base extender. It has audible clicks as you extend it out. Once you are just past the point where it will no longer fit between the ceiling and the floor, you can use the flip down foot pedal to compress the internal spring and line it up where you want it and release it until it contacts the ceiling. I find I don't need the pedal but it is there if you need it. I just grip the pole and pull down and at the same time line it up while watching the built in 360 degree level bubble. Pretty easy. I believe if you feel the need to use the foot pedal, you are extended too far and you may damage a drywall ceiling. The one I recieved has each pole section half yellow and half black unlike what I see in the picture. This bright color contrast should be good at helping you and others see the pole at a glance so you don't crash into it. Also mine has a button down on the bottom that releases the extension tube via grooves. You can see it in the pictures I posted. Something I will be watching though is the fact that the button that locks into the grooves. If I designed it, I may have made the grooves just a bit deeper. As it is though I don't believe there will be a problem. It appears the one in the picture has a compression fitting that you turn to lock it. Similiar to the way a camera tripod works. I am pretty sure the model I have is a much better idea. I think they changed their plan very early on. All in all it seems very stable. Everywhere you screw it together there is no slop. There is a slight bit down at the bottom where the extender slides out but it is not a problem for me. I am pretty picky guy when it comes to these things but this is acceptable. You may be able to put more pressure on your pole and eliminate this but I wasn't damaging my ceiling. Summed up- I like it. Although I have not used it on the job yet and of course time is another thing, I believe it will do its job just fine. I would not call it super heavy duty but it is designed for something relatively delicate so if you damage this thing you are probably damaging your laser too. So I would treat it accordingly. It also comes with a bag. They really should update the picture because, as I said, the one I recieved is quite different from what you see. For the better though, I believe. The pictures I posted only show the base and one more section with the top cap put on. There are 3 more sections. 2 longs and 1 short. I am a contractor of 30 years if this means anything to you.

TLDR; Must buy for anyone using and laser level. I'm a tile setter by trade and this is by far one of my most useful tools. When you need to make sure your lines are perfect all the way around the room so everything matches up right, this pole makes it so easy. Completely takes the headache out it. I use it for every shower I tile. And for more complicated bathrooms with floor to ceiling tile it would nearly be impossible without it at this point. Only minor downside is that when adjusting the level arm down it can sometimes loosen the pole which will require you to reset it. But its a minor inconvenience. All in all a great buy.

I bought this leveling pole about 10 years ago, and by far, it is worth the price and then some. I have used this pole on so many projects and three different homes. I would recommend this to anyone! It is a must-buy!!!

Es una mala inversión solo lo use una vez y se dañó la rosca de ensamble

This pole laser mount is ideal for a wide range of laser height requirements. Most tripods can’t be lowered much past 3-4 feet this pole mount system can get the laser just a few inches off the floor to nearly ceiling height no problem. It’s also safer then a tripod by eliminating the trip hazard associated with tripods and the risk of destroying your laser in the mayhem. It comes complete with several pole sections to reach the ceiling and is very sturdy. It could also be used for cameras as well.

Seems expensive for what it is but it's one of the few times I've received an item and was surprised at how well it was built. I decided to get this after needing to prop my tripod on top of chairs etc. to get the laser level up to the height I needed. This pole will definitely make my life easier, and will be easier to fit into tight spaces. I have a small bathroom reno coming up and this will allow me to set up my laser level in the corner and provide guidelines for tiling the wall. The mount slides up and down (nearly) the full length of the pole, except for the very bottom where adjustment portion is. I think another reviewer mentioned mounting the pole upside down to get all the way down, which was pretty clever. All of the actual pole components are made of metal (including threads) and the actual laser level mount is made of a robust feeling plastic holder. It all comes in a reasonable nice (a tad cheap feeling) nylon case with zipper compartments. This should last quite a wile I'd imagine.

Facilita mucho el trabajo en techos,solo que la entrada debería ser 5/8 y la trae de 1/4 estaría más reforzada

Perfect for fitting kitchens etc , good construction and work perfect with my dewalt laser .

Muy práctico

Was using a tripod to do some tile work on the bathroom walls but it would only go so high so I bought this pole. Very Very nice. Goes together easy, has markings on it for height. Bubble level on the arm and spring loaded to the ceiling. Takes two seconds to install and adjust. Very happy!
