Momentum Laser Inc. Introduces Two New Affordable Laser Tools; New LaserChalkLine XL and Laser Framing Square.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 1997--Momentum Laser Inc., the price-performance leader in the laser tools market, is introducing at the National Hardware Show in Chicago (Aug. 10 - 12) two new products in its LaserChalkLine product family.

The first new product is the LaserChalkLine XL Kit, an exterior rotary laser and receiver for outside construction projects, and the second new product is the Laser Framing Square, an accessory for the LaserChalkLine to layout 90-degree angles and reference lines.

"The products we announced today are just another step toward the Momentum Laser commitment of providing affordable, precision laser tools for everyday construction projects," commented Jerry Teng, a founder and executive vice president of Momentum Laser Inc.

The LaserChalkLine XL Kit comes complete with an exterior rotary laser, a leveling mount, an audible electronic receiver, a receiver clamp, and batteries all packaged in a super compact rugged carrying case. The whole kit weighs less than four pounds and has a guaranteed accuracy better than +/- 1/4" across a 100 foot diameter and a working range of 150 feet.

The LaserChalkLine XL is a laser layout kit, which combines a rotary laser with an audible electronic receiver. The rotary laser projects a 360-degree red laser reference line and the receiver detects the laser even in bright sunlight.

The LaserChalkLine XL kit includes the components needed to quickly and precisely layout and level projects like decks, patios, foundations, siding, and landscaping. The LaserChalkline XL provides time-saving precision for any outdoor job that requires a horizontal or vertical reference line.

The LaserChalkLine XL is suited for both the tradesman as well as the serious do-it-yourselfer. The LaserChalkLine XL is now available and has a suggested retail price of $399.

The Laser Framing Square works in conjunction with the LaserChalkLine product family for quick and easy layout of any framing project requiring a 90-degree angle and reference line. The Laser Framing Square is perfect for laying out and plumbing walls. The Laser Framing Square is now available and has a suggested retail price of $129.
