If you need to measure a straight line or ensure accurate cuts, no tool is more helpful than a laser level. This handy 4-in-1 Bob Vila Laser Level is an improvement on the traditional bubble level since it also features a light that projects a level line and gauges the distances between objects. The hands-free level can also determine 45-degree angles, and comes with a built-in measuring tape–allowing you to take fewer trips to the toolbox during your next home project. Available on Amazon; $19.99.
