The laser level may be mounted to the quick connect tool mounting bracket in one or more different orientations via a quick connect adapter. The quick connect adapter may be removably coupled with the bracket and/or one or more quick connect mounts supported by one or more external surfaces a housing of the laser level. One or more laser beams generated by the laser level may be controlled via a controller to visually indicate whether the laser level is in a 'manual' mode, whether the laser level is in a 'self-leveling' mode, and/or whether the laser level is “out of level” while in the “self-leveling” mode. In some embodiments, the laser level system includes a self-leveling mechanism lock.
