Milwaukee 48-35-1411 72" Laser Tripod

I like the idea, but the construction is not good. The top swivel is very floppy and the laser tipes all sorts of directions. I would expect more for the price and from milwaukee.

I’ve used the laser level, tripod, and vertical adjustment attachment about a dozen times over the last week (just got them), and the laser is good, attachments are complete garbage.
The laser is too heavy for the stand, after getting everything set (using the two level bubbles on the stand) once you let go the laser will sag due to the weight. (Doesn’t matter how tight you turn the dials)
The adjusting knobs/locking knobs are useless. The amount of force required get things to remain where you set them will throw off any precision. So you are guessing and wasting a bunch of time.
(I have 10s of thousands in Milwaukee tools, all sorts, first time having a bad experience, first time leaving a review)

I do not know why there is some much disdain for this tripod. I need a tripod for the 3632 laser, I read the reviews, watched the video and stayed away from this item. Subsequently I tried the Bosch, Dewalt, Husky and others. Low and behold all of them had the same alleged problems. This weekend, I finally bought one from my local store as I was able to price match.
This tripod is amazing. It leveled itself and I was able to use it on stairs.
Maybe it is not suitable for commercial use but for the price and as a DIYer this gets 4 stars

I’ve had this tripod for six months And it hasn’t failed me yet. It certainly isn’t designed for outdoor applications but has functioned well indoors. It’s ability to attach the laser under the tripod using the mounting bracket (sold separately) is a game changer.

I should have read the reviews on this product before purchasing. Assuming with the name Milwaukee it would have been built a bit more resistant to failure. Seems that the problem is consistent with breakage where the swivel base is attached to the tripod.

Received the three plane laser and this tripod as a gift for Christmas. Unboxed the tripod to examine and went to adjust the tilt and the mount broke apart from the tripod legs. I will try and attach a picture, but the swivel area is very cheap plastic. I would not recommend this product. I do not have a local Milwaukee repair or warranty centre so I will have to spend $50 in fuel or more to drive this defective part to the nearest repair centre, not impressed.

I was set on buying this tripod for my new 3-plane Milwaukee laser, but after watching the many videos and reading multiple reviews from as far back as two years ago, it appears to be a piece of trash. This is very disappointing as everything I own is Milwaukee — I have always had faith in, and been happy with every Milwaukee product I have purchased — even before cordless was available. Milwaukee, you have had years to fix this, but here we are with the same piece of junk you put on the market two years ago. Please pay attention to your customers’ reviews, pull this product from your line and make something we will be happy with.

Don't buy this tripod! You will be seriously disappointed! WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!!!!!! My crank to micro adjust up and down does not hold and is stripped! Brand new out of box WOW! Save your money and buy a different tripod!

I am a proud Milwaukee guy, I make fun of my friends yellow and black and blue and black tools all the time, but this tool is not one that I'm proud of. It constantly falls short (literally) on jobs, and something you don't think about is being able to place a line very low to the ground which this cannot do. Just a month ago it was rendered completely useless because the vertical stop screw stopped working. There seems to be a small piece that is threaded that fell out in transit after a job. There's no way to get the part either. I'd be happy to buy it but there's no way I can find. If someone at Milwaukee is listening, please point me in the right direction so I can get my tripod working again.

I love Milwaukee, 90% of my equipment is from this brand, in this opportunity I am going to complain about the 72" Laser Tripod, I did not reach the first year and the screw that fixes the vertical position stopped doing the job, I am trying to get the warranty and it is not easy, I hope someone from the brand sees this comment and help me to get what I want.
