Hammerhead Self-Leveling 360-Degree Laser

I received this product through Amazon Prime because I needed it this weekend. It arrived on time in a pristine box. I opened the box and read the 4 or 5 pages of directions that it comes with. Installed the batteries and tested it out. It turned on and put a bright laser beam 360 degrees with a cross beam vertically on the wall. I ran it through its modes and then turned it off. I placed it in the bag until today. I went to go get it out and get a quick measurement outside before the sunset for some retaining walls that we are digging TOMORROW! I took it outside, got my tripod setup, placed the laser level on the tripod, flipped it on and nothing. It didn't turn on, so i turned flipped it to the off position and turned back to the on position and still nothing. I figured it was just the cheap batteries that it came with so I ran to town and bought some new batteries. Put in the new batteries and it still didn't turn on. I NEED THIS TOOL FOR A JOB TOMORROW. It worked when I opened the box, I placed it neatly and gently back in its carry bag and placed it back in its box and it hasn't moved since the day I got it. What is wrong with this tool? every laser level locally is $400 or more which is far more than I can purchase right now. Hammerhead was supposed to be high quality products at working man prices. I am in the process of returning this level and replacing it with a new one. Hammerhead gets one more chance and then I will be getting a refund for this product and taking my money to a different company. I understand that there are always hiccups in manufacturing and that sometimes quality control doesn't get everything, but this tool worked one time and hasn't worked since. I was depending on this tool to work for me this weekend and now I have to figure out another way to level all the stuff that needs leveled this weekend.
