The DW0822CG combines a green cross-line laser with a downward plumb spot for both level and plumb transfer in one unit. It features an integrated magnetic pivoting base with 1/4-in. thread and front and rear magnets for flush attachment to metal track and steel studs. Accuracy is ±1/8-in. at 30 ft with a 100-ft visible range and 230-ft detector range. Powered by 3 AA batteries. Self-levels automatically within its compensator range. Ideal for electrical, plumbing, framing, and tile layout. Backed by DEWALT's 3-year limited tool warranty.
What makes the DW0822CG different from a standard cross-line laser?
The DW0822CG adds a downward-projecting plumb spot beam that transfers a point from the floor to the ceiling (or vice versa), making it useful for plumbing walls, aligning outlets, or positioning ceiling fixtures directly above a floor point.
How does the magnetic base work?
The DW0822CG has an integrated magnetic pivoting base with front and rear magnets, allowing it to attach flush to metal wall track and steel studs without clamps. The 1/4-in. thread also fits standard camera tripods.
What is the working range of the DW0822CG?
The green beam is visible up to 100 ft in typical interior lighting. With the DW0892G detector (sold separately), the range extends to 230 ft.
Does the DW0822CG require a charger?
No. The DW0822CG runs on 3 AA batteries with no charging required. The batteries are included in the box.
Is the DW0822CG self-leveling?
Yes. The DW0822CG self-levels automatically within its compensator range and locks the pendulum out of level when the surface tilt is too great, preventing inaccurate readings.
Can I use the DW0822CG for hanging cabinets?
Yes. The horizontal line gives a continuous level reference across the wall for aligning cabinet rows, while the plumb spot helps position vertical stacks. Reviewers frequently use it for cabinet installation projects.
