Furniture-Aligning Laser Tools

The Pen Line Laser Ensures the Straight Alignment of Objects

— October 9, 2013 — Art & Design
There's no more a glaring admission of human error than unaligned furniture in the house, but the Pen Line Laser Level by Bosch may be about to straighten things out. Priced at $40, the versatile tool can be attached to a wall holder by magnetic application, enabling the easy adjustment of the laser pointer to project a straight line along various surfaces, while the wall holder can be affixed to a wall using nails, pins, screws or adhesive tape.

The holder also comes with two vials, which gives it the added performance function of acting as a conventional spirit level. The laser can be pointed up to a maximum of five meters across a variety of horizontal, vertical and angled vectors, and is no thicker than a ballpoint pen.
Trend Themes
1. Laser Alignment Tools - The rise of affordable, user-friendly laser alignment tools in construction and DIY sectors presents an opportunity for companies to offer more precise and efficient solutions for their customers.
2. Magnetic Fixtures - New magnetic fixture technology opens the door for innovative product designs across a range of industries, from furniture to automotive, allowing for easy application and removal of accessories and components.
3. Convenience Tools - As consumers increasingly prioritize convenience, there is a growing opportunity for companies to develop and market easy-to-use tools that make everyday tasks, such as furniture alignment, simpler and more accessible to everyone.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - Laser alignment tools and magnetic fixtures have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by improving accuracy and speeding up the building process.
2. Diy/home Improvement - The popularity of DIY home improvement projects, combined with the convenience of tools like the Pen Line Laser Level, presents an opportunity for companies to develop and market affordable, user-friendly tools for everyday use.
3. Furniture Manufacturing - Incorporating laser alignment tools and magnetic fixtures into furniture manufacturing processes can enhance the precision and quality of the final product, while also increasing efficiency and reducing production time and costs.
