Horizontal and Vertical Laser
Trimble/Spectra Precision
The HV302 Horizontal and Vertical Laser is capable of handling a wide variety of horizontal, vertical and plumb applications in both interior and exterior projects. Its high-visibility beam enables simultaneous rotating and 90 degree plumb references and is easy to see even in brightly lit interiors. The product also includes a new “Fingerprint” function—once the receiver is paired with the laser, the HL760 receiver only accepts the “Fingerprint” beam from the laser it is paired with, reducing errors and conflict between teams working in close proximity with other lasers. The tool can also be paired with another HL760 for long-range wireless remote display and monitoring. For more information, visit spectralasers.com.
