This looks like the best choice, which includes a rotary laser for plane as well as corners. Don't get a plane laser if you can get this with additional squaring ability on 3 planes. A detector can be used as well, but this appears not to need one because it's visible in the day. This may also be a good idea with laser detectors on tractors/bulldozers for grading purposes.

For Outdoor Work

  • Decent, but poorly visible in daylight. May work on cloudy day. [1]

Plane Lasers for Corners

This looks like the best choice, which includes a rotary laser for plane as well as corners. Don't get a plane laser if you can get this with additional squaring ability on 3 planes. A detector can be used as well, but this appears not to need one because it's visible in the day. This may also be a good idea with laser detectors on tractors/bulldozers for grading purposes.

  • Green light = 4x visibility in day. Good for corners. $165. [2]


Rotary

  • 13 best rotary lasers - topcon is $500 - [3]. MJ review - heavy D batteries are not good rechargeable option. Trip to the store when they run out - PITA. Though one can get rechargeable Ds.
  • Huepar Self-leveling for $100 no detector - [4]. No detector, so difficult to see in full light.
  • Huepar $239 with detector - [5]. Appears to be half the price of best brands and comparable quality. Has rechargeable bats.
  • $89 rotary + 1 plane - [6]

Receivers

  • Works with any red laser - [7]
