Bosch GLL3-330CG 360-Degree Green Beam Three-Plane Leveling and Alignment-Line Laser
The Bosch GLL3-330CG projects 360-degree green beams across three planes for maximum visibility and coverage, which speeds large-scale course layout and reduces dependence on external detectors. Compared to red-beam units like the DEWALT and SKIL, its green diode gives better sightlines in daylight at the expense of a higher price and often higher battery draw, making it ideal when speed and visibility justify the investment.

Milwaukee M12 3PL-0C 12V Green 3-Plane Laser
The Milwaukee M12 3PL leverages the M12 battery platform to deliver a compact, cordless green three-plane laser tailored for quick setup and portability across multiple course locations. Its main financial advantage is interoperability with Milwaukee's M12 ecosystem — saving on batteries and chargers if you already own the platform — and it competes with Bosch on beam visibility while generally offering lower upfront cost than full-size 3-plane systems.

SKIL LL932301 360-Degree Red Self-Leveling Cross Line Laser
The SKIL LL932301 provides 360-degree red self-leveling coverage at a budget-friendly price, making it attractive for community-level course projects or small clubs where cost matters more than maximum daytime visibility. While its red beams are less visible in bright conditions than the green lasers from Bosch or Milwaukee, SKIL's lower price and straightforward feature set make it an economical option for teams outfitting multiple fixed stations.
