5.0 out of 5 stars GC's have to have one of these, truly a heavy duty accurate laser, with the best warranty
Its the best horizontal laser in the business, and the best warranty in the business, very bright clear and crisp lines in all directions, its the 3rd horizontal laser I have owned from bosch to PLS 360 (bad warranty with pls they don't fix or repair anything after a year) that cured me in my business as a GC in Florida, Only over the counter warranty I know of for minimum 2 years, we love it, but it works so well on a daily basis it has yet to miss a beat. I have the 5.2xl also but the Lt56 is much better for checking the trades for elevation or creating your 4' bench for all the trades to work from. This is the laser for accurate layout and checking your subs, Some suppliers will also give you a great deal on this, also comes in hardshell case with multipurpose mounting bracket which is extremely versatile and has micro adjustment knobs on a gear track so you can dial it in to the perfect elevation, charger, glasses, red magnetic target, instructions and warranty, and a bag of universal plug adapters that would be good if you were working out of the country. The plug in the back of the laser for the charger was mentioned by another chap here, is ridiculous you don't give your precision equipment to one of your employees you hired from the neck down to set up your critical layout, so I think the plug is fine and if it breaks... they give you a new machine, what's the problem? One of the features I liked a lot was it has a lock to hold the pendulum in place while setting it up or transporting the unit, great protection for itself. I think it is miles ahead of the Bosch in warranty and crisper brighter laser lines for 75 ft. in every direction. IMHO. You can shop around and they are really comparably priced but I got mine from a longtime supplier that gave me a deal to sweet to pass up, and it was 100 less than the Bosch and 100 less pls360, with at least double or triple the warranty no questions asked.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE brightness on this model vs bosh gll 3-80.
Just got it, love the brightness of spectra vs bosh gll 3-80. I used bosh gll 3-80 for over 2 years,it worked very good but needed calibration, bosh doesnt do calibration of this model. If your waranty expires you can put it in the garbage. I decided to give a try to new spectra LT56 Laser, I did brightness comparison of new gll 3-80 with this Spectra and to my suprise I LOVE this Spectra laser, chceck atached photo. Spectra Laser way brighter than gll 3-80

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laser but I prefer Bosch GLL3-80 (rated 4.5) vs. Spectra Precision LT56 (rated 4)
As for plane lasers (vs. rotary) I have a Spectra Precision LT56-2, the Bosch GLL3-80 and an older GLL2-50. I've used daily in the field the GLL3-80 for over 2-years, and prior to this I used Bosch's first gen GLL2-50. So when this new LT56 came out, I was pretty excited as I was looking for a 3-plane laser similar to the GLL3-80 that I could dedicate to a Stabila tripod. Typically, I have the Bosch mounted on Bosch's telescopic pole (BP350) and don't like to remove it. Really I like the GLL3-80 dedicated to this pole. So in addition to a dedicated pole 3-plane laser, I hoped to get another (better?) for the tripod. So, point-blank: Is the LT56 a better choice over the GLL3-80? Summarily, I say no. Here's why. (Note: Despite buying the LT56-2, I'm comparing the lasers and bases only--without the optional receivers--so, GLL3-80 vs. LT56. With these smaller plane lasers, I've never used a receiver and prefer more expensive, rotating green lasers for longer ranges anyway). 1. (Advantage Bosch) The LT56 costs roughly $499 vs. GLL3-80 around $429. 2. (Advantage Neutral) The base on the LT56 has a nice, fine pan right/left knob vs. GLL3-80 you have to swivel the unit. For elevation control, the LT56 adjusts a little finer with much smaller knobs on either side vs. GLL3-80 you can only do it from one big knob on one side. Something about the GLL3-80 mount seems a bit beefier, and more compact and the larger nob makes it easier for my big hands to manipulate; however, the LT56 base incorporates a ceiling bracket vs. it's and accessory (WM4) for the GLL3-80. Both have magnets for vertical mag mounting to steel but the Bosch bracket has a hole for hanging off a wood screw. Regardless, I think I'd be happy with either elevator base. Both have 1/4-20 and 5/8-11 tripod mounting capability. 3. (Big Advantage Bosch) While the LT56 is Li-Ion and perhaps lasts a bit longer between charges/battery changes, a replacement is not cheap at 13% of the unit's cost. Trimble (LT56 manufacturer) says the battery should last 2-3 years, but probably it would last longer. But come time, a replacement is $66 and it's an OEM-only part. So, yes, you won't be purchasing AAs, but how much will you really save? In headaches and down-time? The GLL3-80 uses standard AA batteries readily-available in bulk everywhere. To me, this is a major deal slayer. It's not just the battery type either; it's also the fact it's YET another charger I need to keep track of, and oh yeah, just when you need this most, you'll be plugging it in. While the LT56 does seem to operate with the charger plugged-in, the cord is really thin and frankly, I'm not impressed with the thin, cheap cordless phone quality cord one bit. It's nothing beefy like any of the cordless tool chargers you'd get. Furthermore, the LT56 cradles the battery (must plug into the laser) and battery hatch requires tools to remove the battery. So you can't charge one battery and use another like most EVERYTHING else in the industry. On the other hand, with the GLL3-80, you pop open the door and insert 4-AAs and you're good to go. If you're working on a residential job, heck, many folks have spare AAs if you really get in a pinch. Forgot the charger? Li-Ion battery worn out? Yep, you're hosed. 4. (Advantage Bosch) For thin, crisp lines at shorter distances, the GLL3-80 wins hands down in my side-by-side comparison. I like very thin, bright lines at relatively close ranges--my typical working environment--and the GLL3-80 does this better. Now,if you're operating constantly at ranges of say 30ft or more, seriously consider the LT56. Really it's a lot brighter way out. Furthermore, all its lines are consistent and bright vs. my GLL3-80 lines, well, some are brighter than others. Of course, with red laser glasses that come with the LT56--none with GLL3-80--you really can see the lines much better. Both come with red targets and the LT56's is bigger. 5. (Advantage Spectra Precision) For beam versatility, the LT56 wins hands down. The LT56 allows you to turn on or off any beam in any combination. The GLL3-80 only allows 4 permutations in self-level mode: horizontal, vertical perpendicular, vertical perpendicular + vertical straight (aka crosshair) and crosshair + horizontal. The modes are same in fixed or floating (self-leveling) modes. 6. (Advantage Spectra Precision) For brighter lines, the LT56 wins. Way across the room (approx 40 feet), the LT56 is brighter. Probably this is because the lines are thicker which makes sense. Maybe the Li-Ion battery helps a bit more ummph, too? Not sure, but it is brighter and a bit thicker vs. the GLL3-80 seems somewhat faded and thinner. 7. (Advantage slight Spectra Precision) For precision, both lasers yielded roughly the same, non-scientific accuracy results at closer range. Yet the LT56 boasts +/-1/4" at 100ft vs. GLL3-80 same +/-1/4" at 65ft. Honestly, I expected my Bosch to be "off" a bit after so many years of use including a few drops. Nonetheless, both seem very accurate in the short-range area I operate in most. Of course, with receivers, the GLL3-80 boasts 265ft range vs. LT56 only 200ft. Also note for edification, I leveled horizontally and vertically both laser on the same planes and the GLL3-80 split the LT56 right down the middle as far as I could see. 8. (Advantage Bosch) For durability, the LT56 says it can take 3-ft drops vs. the GLL3-80 is IP54-rated which means that it's protected against dust and water, providing a longer product life. Again, dust and water...this is where I operate. Both units have 3-year limited warranties. One thing in particular I dislike about the LT56 is the rubber charging plug. In my environments, this will get ripped off very soon and most likely enable contaminants to enter such as drywall dust, mud or even moisture. Again, this is why I prefer the GLL3-80's simple, secure battery hatch noted (above). 9. (Advantage slight Bosch) Fit and finish on the LT56 is snazzier in color and lower profile, but slightly bulkier than the GLL3-80. As mentioned, I don't like rubber cover for the charger port on the LT56. Weight difference is negligible with the LT56 at 1lb 12oz vs. GLL3-80 1lb 10oz. 10. (Advantage Bosch) You get constant audible and visual alerts from the GLL3-80 when you're out-of-level in float (self-leveling) mode. With the LT56, it only flashes 3-times every 10 seconds, so there is some latency in knowing if you're level with the LT56, vs. GLL3-80 it's quiet the instant you're ok. Both the GLL3-80 (on top, integrated with on/off switch) and LT56 (separate switch in front) have settings for fixed pendulum or floating modes. The fixed pendulum setting on both allows you to project a periodically-flashing (out-of-level) fixed angle line--nice for installing say a handrail at some constant angle. What's nice is both units have pad lock symbols and a periodically flashing laser line to indicate you're in fixed mode. Smartly, the GLL3-80 loses the constant out-of-level beeping in fixed mode. Mostly, I'm operating in floating mode and appreciate the real-time audible and visual cues from the GLL3-80: it beeps and flashes, I reposition it. Of course, if you're not a beep-lover and get annoyed easily AND don't want to remedy your out-of-level situation quickly, I could see annoying some folks. Conclusively, after adding up all the advantages, clearly the Bosch GLL3-80 is a better choice for me and my 30+ years of building experience. Both are recommended but it's going to depend on your preferences and what is most important to you. To me, I don't want another charger--especially a cheap quality one--in my environment. Really if the LT56 came with AAs or an optional battery pack for AAs, that'd be a big plus and likely close the gap. The bottom-line is I want as few chargers and vulnerabilities affecting my operations as possible and that's the GLL3-80. Now, if Bosch or Trimble were to release a new GREEN 3-plane laser in AA battery format??? I'd be all ears and wallet. These 3-plane lasers are so easy to use and helpful, you can't go wrong. While there is still room for improvement, these for closer ranges beat rotary lasers hands down. Of course, your preferences should dictate your product selection. I hope this helps OEMs and users alike.
