Smaller, Better. The self-leveling PLS5 point-to-point laser has been updated. For starters, it's much smaller than the previous version, as the photo above demonstrates. It's also more durable, according to the maker, and its design eliminates the 1-inch offset between the horizontal and vertical beams. Accurate to 1/8 inch over 100 feet, it costs $460 without a detector. Pacific Laser Systems, 800/601-4500. www.plslaser.com
