Pros & Cons

Pros

Product arrived earlier than expected in perfect new condition and works properly. No complaints. I purchase about 2 each year but never because they fail.

Compared to other rotary lasers at this same price point, the topcon rl-h5a comes with a manual slope capability that does not require you to spend another $120 to purchase a wireless remote. When comparing rotary outdoor lasers, this topcon is in the...  Read More



Cons

It costs a fortune to return the item from nigeria. Did not include the batteries and charger as listed in details. After about a month of use laser quit working.

Quality


Quality build with super range simple controls and tough


This rotating laser level is optimized toward the construction task of outdoor site preparation concrete work etc


If the unit is bumped it will blink lights for a minute and then begin the self leveling procedure automatically


The laser is fine and works well but mine didnt come with the notebook and there is no clear way to contact the seller

Price


In years past laser pricing was just too high for diy but this was reasonably priced and easily worth double the price


This one gives me the best value for the buck


I hate to send the whole thing back over a 20 notebook but it was supposed to be included


For the price i would recommend it for sure

Shipping


The shipper sent this fexex with required signature

Competitiveness


Compared to other rotary lasers at this same price point the topcon rlh5a comes with a manual slope capability that does not re...  Read More


I did an extensive amount of research and evaluation and found that the topcon rlh5a is the best value for the money out there ...  Read More


For this i would not buy again and look for another brand with better service


Keep in mind that i would not compare either this topcon or the spectra precision units to some of the more diy or consumer gra...  Read More

    Compared it to a good manual sight instrument and the accuracy was dead on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I got about 500 feet range on a sunny day here in south louisiana


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Have wanted one for yrs but where crazy money at retailer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some of the other units out there while offering more bells and whistles are much shorter range units that do not offer the level of accuracy of the topcon rlh5a


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you are trying to decide between the rlh5a and the rlh5b my recommendation is that if the price difference is not all that much go for the h5a


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At this price point i was torn between topcon and spectra precision trimble ll100n


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To get the same level of features in the spectra i would have to step up to at least the ll300n at a far greater price


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Keep in mind that i would not compare either this topcon or the spectra precision units to some of the more diy or consumer grade products from bosch and cstberger owned by bosch that you can buy at home depot and lowes
