About This BullsEye Laser Level
No more squinting at tiny vials or holding your breath while you wait for the bubbles to settle — with the BullsEye laser, perfectly aligned pictures, shelves, and more are right at your fingertips. With Black & Decker’s patented auto-leveling technology, BullsEye is the obvious choice for professionals or do-it-yourselfers who want the job done right the first time, and every time.
The BDL190S is two tools in one: an auto-leveling laser level and a super-sensitive stud sensor. The auto-leveling laser line levels automatically without adjustments, projecting a long, bright red laser line so there’s never any question of where the hammer or drill should begin. The stud sensor detects wood, metal studs, and live A/C wires and displays the results immediately and clearly on the easy-to-read LCD. This advanced device includes a protective storage case and batteries, so it’s ready to work or travel, right out of the box.

I don’t know if it’s the product or our condo, but we get inconsistent stud readings all over. Also, I’m not sure how it this thing works, but we received a reading indicating there was no stud, then when we tried to drill into the wall we hit something metal about 3/4″ in.
Great product! I was shopping for a replacement stud sensor after my old one bit the dust after 10+ years. Came across this model which offers both a stud sensor, wire detector and laser level, so thought I’ve give it a shot. Very glad I did – it works very well for all tasks.
Bear in mind that a stud sensor is just measuring the density difference in the wall. It’s not an x-ray machine, nor is it magic. Every stud sensor has limitations and you need to use some measure of common sense before drilling. The biggest cause of mis-reads is if you happen to start the calibration procedure when you are on, or very near, a stud. If so, you’ll get spurious readings. It’s a good idea to check twice, and drill once (to borrow from the “measure twice, cut once” mantra).
Small nitpicking issues – the velcro on the back works well on smooth walls, but can snag on textured walls. Covering it with tape helps, but it would be nice if the velcro was removable. Also, the hole for marking the spot is a bit small – large pencils will not fit. Minor issues, however.
Love the foam case. Makes it easy to keep the unit secure and all the parts in one place.
The laser level works very well. Easy to see the line in daylight. Would be nice to have a vertical line as well, but the model that has that from B&D does not have a stud sensor function.
All in all, a great product and a fantastic value at the sale price of $28!
the stud finding capability works fine, and the laser levels real nice. good range on the laser, but I don’t like the fact that you have to pin it in to the wall. So far, I’ve used it for paintings and shelves, and the holes are covered up by the thing itself, but one of these days, I’m going to want to use it as a reference between two independent hanging items, or for some other thing, and I’ll have to devise some way to hang it without puncturing the hole. Its a small hole anyway, no big deal.
Smaller than the last model. The LCD display provides DUD, Edege … information, it’s much more convenient than the last model.
Laser is good, wall mounting is misleading, stud finding is not accurate. Though I still use it find stud, I don’t trust it anymore.
Won’t buy it if i were have a chance.
