Durable/Construction Laser

[Ropey]

Hi,

I am looking for a laser that I will be using on a construction job site. I am looking for some suggestions that yall have since I do not know much about. A coworker has a z-bolt laser (link below) and I think they are out of business. Does anyone know of a similar type of green laser that is durable and between 4 mW and 5mW?

Z-Bolt&#174 Job-Sight | Extreme Duty Green Laser Pointer

I don't know the market well enough and seems to be kind of a specialty item. The main qualities that I am looking for are durability and very bright. The operating temperature needs to be relatively low as well. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Welcome to LPF Ropey.
I think Z-Bolt is still in business, the Z-Bolt site you linked to seems to work; that particular laser is on sale for $128 right now.
They are known for quality lasers, although high priced!

I placed an order on Saturday and I have not gotten a shipping confirmation email. I have emailed them two days ago, I just called them and left a voice mail. I was just curious and I thought I saw somewhere that said that the company was out of business. But, do you know of any other companies that make heavier duty laser pointers?

I can't say why they haven't responded yet; I'd give give them a little while longer.
As far as a low power (4-5mW) laser like that, I don't think you'll find a manufacturer with a more heavy duty one than you linked to.
Z-Bolt claims that theirs is dust shock, and water resistant, you probably won't see too many companies offering that.
You could check with some members here to see about a custom build, but I can't see where they would be heavier duty.
Maybe someone else will respond with an offer to build, or an alternate manufacturer.

Good luck with your search!

You might want to have a look at laserbtb's diving laser if you could go with a 50mW 520nm -- link here: Diving laser 50 meters

Would be excellent water and dust wise and a 520nm diode lass fragile shock wise than a 532nm DPSS
