Origin Laser Tools: The World's Most Bad-Ass Laser Levels
Posted in: Uncategorized
In the non-square, non-level, non-plumb world we live in, the Stanley FatMax laser level is one of the handiest tools I own. Can’t remember what I paid for it—mine is way outdated—but it was less than a hundred bucks, and X/Y only.
On the other end of the cost scale, a California-based company called Origin Laser Tools produces extremely expensive high-end laser levels. Optomechanical engineer Tim Litvin started the company in 2010 with the aim of making laser levels that would be the best of the best—with locally-sourced parts and construction:
Our laser’s mechanical parts are CNC-milled by a local machine shop, a local circuit board manufacturer fabricates and assembles our custom electronics… even the hand-checkered wooden grips are the product of a local craftsman. Almost every other component is also made in the United States. The components are finally assembled, by hand, here in Santa Cruz…
Our laser tools are an investment, made by craftsmen, for craftsmen. We hope they’ll become a tool that you’ll look forward to using, every day.
