I haven't had it long or used it extensively, but my initial impressions are positive. It feels well-made, and the laser lines are very visible. I was initially concerned about paying extra for a green laser, which is more power-hungry and visible, but I found the red laser to be more than adequate for indoor use. It remains visible in certain outdoor conditions as well.
The ability to lock the laser to angle the beam is extremely handy, as is the plumb line feature.
One reason I chose the red laser was cost savings and battery efficiency. The green laser uses more power, and I wanted to use rechargeable batteries. It works great with 1.2V rechargeable batteries. Although I haven't tested how long they last, as long as you turn it on only when needed and off after use, it should be perfectly fine and save on single-use batteries.
In certain environments, red can provide a higher contrast than green depending on the background or surrounding colors. For example, red can stand out more strongly against darker or cooler backgrounds like blue, green, or gray, making it appear more prominent than green in some contexts.
This was one of the main reasons I picked red.
