 Rating:  - Must have handy DIY gadgetI have to admit I am surprised that anyone could fail to find this product a superb addition to their toolbox. I have lost count of the amount of times I have used it around my new house for various projects my wife has brow beaten me into completing. I am pretty sure that without it I would have either flooded my kitchen or discharged 240 volts into myself. To buy each of these functions separately would cost you a small fortune and I think this is a great price especially for a Black and Decker product. Highly recommended!! Rating:  - Not that good reallyI bought the LZR2 as I had a few DIY projects to do in a new house and needed both a lazer level and pipe and voltage detectors. Seeing the LZR2 I thought my luck was in as all three things where in one handy unit. The unit itself is quite chunky to hold but well designed as you can get a good grip of it and pins are provided to hold the unit in place on a wall for hands free operation. Using the lazer level is straight forward however it only projects a horizontal line and not a plumb line. The metal pipe detector works fine but it is very sensitive and I have to remember to remove my wedding ring before using it as it would give false readings if I kept my ring on. The voltage detector is the big downfall of this product. I cannot get it to work satisfactorily. Each time you use the LZR2 you calibrate it for the wall you are working on, however, the LED would start blinking away indicating a voltage nearby even when there was not one. Even when I tested it on a wooden window frame it still detected a voltage even though the sensitivity was turned down to the lowest setting. At first I thought I had a defective unit and exchanged it for another but sadly the replacement also suffered from the same problem of it detecting a voltage that was not there. It was also inconsistent, I could run the voltage detector over an area of wall and it would flash away indicating a cable nearby yet when I would move the detector over that area again there would be nothing making this function of the unit unreliable. I have now taken the unit back to the store I bought it from as the lack of a working voltage detector and lack of being able to use the laser to project a plumb line means it does not do the things I need it to do.
