Makita has introduced its new SKR001 Rechargeable Rotary Laser, which the company says provides outstanding accuracy, enhanced visibility, and convenience for trade professionals undertaking levelling tasks.
The SKR001 delivers a measuring range of up to 800 meters in diameter when used with the laser receiver and provides horizontal and vertical accuracy of ±0.5mm and ±0.75mm per 10m respectively. Features include automatic self-levelling capabilities within ±5°, and manual slope adjustment.
Users can select from static, or three rotation speeds: 150, 300, 600 rpm and three scan angles: 10°, 20°, 30° depending on application need. The unit produces a green laser beam to aid visibility in bright daylight conditions.
The SKR001 is compatible with three Makita battery platforms, CXT (12V), LXT (18V) and XGT (40V). The Rotary Laser also comes equipped with a Bluetooth remote control (RC1) for operation up to 100 meters and features auto shut off and anti-drift systems to maintain laser integrity. Run time is reported as up to 160 hours of continuous use with a 40VMax 4.0Ah XGT battery.
The Rotary Laser features IP67-rated protection against dust and water, as well as shock-absorbing rubber bumpers to safeguard the unit from drops of up to 2 meters. It weighs 4kg (without battery).
“With a green beam to provide clear visibility and its multi-platform battery support, the SKR001 sets a new benchmark for cordless rotary lasers. It’s a must-have for professionals looking for flexibility and high performance,” commented Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita.
