We’ve got our hands on the latest Klein Pocket Laser Level to see how it compares to its full-sized counterparts.

Klein Pocket Laser Level Performance

Klein Pocket Laser Level
  • Number of Beams: 1
  • Range: 30 ft.
  • Accuracy: +/- 9.5mm per 10m
  • Laser Color: Red
  • Runtime: 12 hrs.

The Klein Pocket Laser Level offers all day runtime and great visibility when working in smaller spaces. It has a max throw of 30 feet with accuracy up to +/- 3/8 inches at that distance.

Klein tells us this pocket laser level is great for indoor and outdoor applications thanks to the IP54 ingress rating and rugged design. I did have some difficulty seeing the red beam in direct sunlight, but I had a much better results after moving inside our shop. If you do end up needing a brighter laser, consider the Klein 93LCLG Green Cross Line Laser.

Klein Pocket Laser Level Design Notes

  • Model: Klein 93PTL
  • Power Source: AAA batteries x2
  • Weight: 7 oz.
  • Length: 4.25 in.
  • Ingress Rating: IP54

This compact laser level weighs in at 7 ounces and measures 4.25 inches in length. The swiveling magnetic base features a pair of magnets that won’t easily slide on steel studs, junction boxes, and conduit. On the base, there’s also a 1/4-inch threaded tripod mount and two keyhole cutouts so it can hang on non-ferrous surfaces.

Looking at the tool body, 3-axis bubble vials illuminate while the laser is activated for enhanced viewing and leveling. The laser body rotates 360-degrees, so you can project the last at any angle. Additionally, there are horizontal and vertical fine adjustment knobs that allow you to precisely adjust the laser without having to reposition the entire unit.

Klein Pocket Laser Level Price

The Klein 93PTL laser level retails for $39.99 and comes with a 2-year limited warranty. That’s an outstanding value compared to other compact lasers on the market.

The Bottom Line

The Klein pocket laser level is a great tool for Pros who simply do not have time to second-guess themselves on the job. It combines reliable accuracy, multiple mounting options, a compact profile, and an extremely attractive price tag. If you’re on the hunt for a no-nonsense laser level, I suggest you give Klein a shot.
