There are receivers that will receive the signal, even when you can't see it. But you have to make sure to get one that works on the same wave length as your transmitter unit. The receiver for my Spectra Precision grade laser (sits on a tripod at a construction site) will not work with the laser above.

I'm very happy with my purchase.
Overkill, I need a cool handle like that! Thanks for taking the time now I have to do some shopping to do. This laser business is really so much better than reading a bubble.
