Line level Skil 1960 DA by Sourcing — 20 m range, 635 nm (

Line level Skil 1960 DA by Sourcing is a compact laser levelling tool designed for indoor alignment and layout tasks. It projects a visible 635 nm laser line with a maximum working range of 20 m and features a self-levelling mechanism to simplify setup. The unit accepts a standard 1/4" tripod thread and is powered by a rechargeable 1.2 Ah lithium‑ion battery for cordless use on site.

Advantages

The Skil 1960 DA offers precise levelling with an accuracy of ±0.1 mm/m and a self-levelling range of ±8°, reducing manual adjustments and measurement errors. Its compact housing and tripod compatibility ensure stable positioning and flexible mounting options. The rechargeable Li‑Ion battery provides convenient, continuous operation without frequent battery changes, while the 635 nm visible beam improves visibility under typical indoor lighting conditions.

Suitable for

• Interior alignment of shelves, cabinets and fittings
• Tiling, floor layout and small renovation works
• Hanging pictures, mirrors and light fixtures
• Plumbing alignment and light carpentry tasks
• Temporary on-site levelling and layout checks

How to use

Place the Skil 1960 DA on a flat surface or mount it on a tripod using the 1/4" thread. Switch the device on and allow it to self‑level; the internal mechanism will correct small tilt angles within ±8°. Use the projected red laser line to align objects at distances up to 20 m. For extended work, ensure the Li‑Ion battery is sufficiently charged and recharge as needed according to the manufacturer’s charging instructions. Turn off the unit when not in use to preserve battery life.

Usage recommendations

For best visibility of the 635 nm laser line indoors, reduce ambient bright light where possible and position the unit to minimise reflections. Use a tripod for repeatable heights and angles, and verify levelling periodically on longer runs. Store the tool in a dry place and follow safety guidance for laser devices, avoiding direct eye exposure to the beam.
