Burns Teaming up with PLS at JLC-Live Show

We will once again be at the JLC Live Show in Providence RI. This year, however, we will not be teaming up with Festool. For a change, we will be sharing a booth with PLS - Pacific Laser Systems! The JLC Live Show is being held at the Providence Convention Center on March 24th and 25th.

PLS Lasers are 80% made, assembled, and calibrated in the USA. Their tool line goes like this:

PLS5 - Their 1st tool. Designed by a framing carpenter. Goes Up/Down/Left/Right/Out. The pendulum target is useful and unique. No offset on this laser. How does it operate? One diode, put into an optic system, split 5 different ways. Gives a crisp point over a good distance. Twice as accurate as any other brand. You can make all your measurements on the floor and transfer up. A point-to-point laser with outside capability.

PLS3 - A dumbed down version of the PLS5...Up/Down/Out. Point-to-point laser.

PLS360 - Continuous, poor-man's rotating laser. 250 ft range. No moving parts, which is nice. Easy setup with ceiling bracket. A unique laser.

PLS90 - A 90-degree squaring tool. Shoots vertical lines. Point up, point down. Ideal for squaring on slab/on slope. Has a 300 ft. working range. Can be used outdoor on a tripod or 2x4. This SKU overlaps with the PLS5 point-to-point laser. Projects line crawls for form walls. Has both an indoor and an outdoor mode.

HVL100 - This laser shows everything. Shoots crosshairs, tied together. There is a lot on info in this tool! It is electronic self-leveling. An indoor tool for the most part. To add lines, you just push a button. Accurate to 1/8" at 60 ft. This is a do-it-all laser for interior finish guys. Made in China for PLS.

PLS2 - Crossline tool. Indoor only price point tool.

PLS180 - Also a crossline tool, but shoots a longer line and has an exterior mode for siding and shingle work. PLS's best selling tool.

FT90 - Squaring tool "Floor Tool 90". Offers an offset for grout. 65' range. Is very durable with an all-metal housing. Only squaring accuracy. A better choice for Tile guys than the DeWalt DW060K.

HLE1000 - An exterior only rotating laser. Spins fast at one speed only. Has grade capabilities. Comes with a rechargeable battery pack and an alkaline pack.

HVR505R - A rotating laser that self levels, even on its side! You can change speeds on laser, and it also has a scan mode. This laser will do manual grade for simple grade work.

HVR505G - Same laser as the HVR505R, but with a GREEN BEAM. A green beam laser is 4X brighter than red to the human eye.

PLS4 - Combo points and lines laser. 180-degrees, with plumb up and plumb down. For guys doing a little bit of everything.

PLS Lasers have no locks. They are not needed. The lasers have rubber shock frames. PLS hangs the optics so they don't need the pendulum locks. Every PLS laser comes with 1 year free calibration. They have a ETN (Exchange To New) program.
