Bosch Professional Laser Measure GLM 50-27 C (Range: up to 50m, Robust, IP65, Data Transfer via Bluetooth, 2x AA Batteries, Hand Strap, Pouch)

I have had many laser measures before and have always had the urge to double check important stuff with a proper tape measure.This is the first laser one I am confident enough to just trust it. It is accurate to the tenth of a mm over distances of over 10m. Great stuff

Given 5 stars for the laser, easy to use and works well with the app. It's not the lasers fault, so max stars, but Amazon insist on being lazy, 3 other items all came with the same driver in a box, this item had the delivery label stuck directly to the box. It may be me, but I like to keep things nice and with the original box for storage, especially tools at this price and it tears the box pulling it off. Amazon if your reading this, please stop and maybe send me another box.

Works as expected just bit confusing with the app drawing projects

Works perfectly for me, highly recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. What a beauty! I’ve been using a laser distance measure for some time now. My latest one was also an Amazon purchase but at just 15% of the cost of the Bosch! However, quality is everything. I downloaded the Bosch Measuring Master app, even though it doesn’t have favourable reviews on the App store. I must say I had no issues with it.The user manual is typical of items these days – tiny print – so I downloaded the user manual from the web in PDF format. It’s easier to have on my phone or iPad. It’s a Bluetooth connection anyway and I never had any problems there. I found the measuring of area and volume relatively easy using the app. It’s like all bits of technology – you just have to get used to it. In fact the whole thing is quite intuitive. You draw the shape of the room on the app with your finger and it clicks into place (see movie clip). As you then measure distances the diagram adjusts accordingly and the measurements are read out loud by the app. It’s good!There is a system to compensate for tilt, you can use a tripod if you want to (it has the fittings) and it can measure a host of things (distance, area, volume, Pythagorean angles etc) as well as being used as a spirit level. All your computations are automatically stored so it really is a great bit of kit. Finally the carry pouch it comes in is great quality and will offer a decent level of protection.It’s expensive but for the true professional it’s priceless.

As you can expect from one of the market leaders, Bosch has built this tool to professional specs, in my opinion. This laser measure has everything a professional tradesman would need. It measures distance from the tip of the tool or from the back. Using it, you can measure distance, area, volume of various shapes. You can measure the distance continuously, as you move the tool.It also measures the angle of tilt and shows spirit leveller which I think is a cool feature as small change in angle can result in wrong reading.It has Bluetooth using which you can pair it with your phone and use Bosch MeasureOn app to capture and save dimensions of floor and rooms. I am not happy with the App at all, I wasted 30+ minutes measuring the floor of a room. The room has few tight corner or cuts, I drew it on the app and saved. But when I opened it, the App had messed it up (like a corner was missing all together).The build quality is top notch. It edges are protected with rubber. It is IP65 rated so the casing protects the internals against water and dust which one would encounter on build site. It comes with a pouch (to put on belt) and hand strap.It is a small device but very useful and powerful. In my opinion, it is a top-level professional tool. The only let down is the accompany App.

I have used the red laser version of this product for just over a month on site in place of one of my older laser measures that I am passing down to a mate starting out, I have the following information for you.Construction: Obviously this is a big factor working on site, your tools need to be tough enough to withstand the knocks, I have gotten away with mine falling off of a few saw horses onto concrete without any issues, there is enough plastic to keep the screen safe. The box says IP65 dust and water jet protection, I can vouch for the dust proofing but I haven't yet dunked it into my tea so time will tell.I have particularly enjoyed going back to a device that has buttons instead of a touch screen as my gloves rendered a touch screen pretty much useless.software: The Bosch app is so far proving to be very useful for measuring out a room and saving the data to my phone, this cuts down on wastage from over ordering materials or scratching my head looking at a scribbled not at the builders merchants, bluetooth connectivity works fine with my aging galaxy phone.Use: this has a max range of 50 Meters and a minimum of 50CM, So far I have found it to be absolutely bang on, the box says a + or - of 1.5mm, Placing the base of the measure against a flat surface and firing the laser gets perfect results, just make sure the wall you are aiming at has no curvature to it. The device will map volume as well, all very clever and intuitive with a little bit of experimentation. I particularly like the measure hold function which will allow you to set the measure to a distance specified by yourself (similar to just locking out a conventional tape at a set distance) this is very handy and saves me walking over or knocking a conventional tape. One feature I enjoy using is the spirit level function which has so far been great for putting up shelves , there is also an inclinometer in degrees.As a side note this does have a battery display readout which is helpful addition that saves me trekking back to the van for batteries mid job.Accessories: You get a set of batteries to get you started, a wrist lanyard and a decent pouch to keep things safe when not in use. The user guide is fine there is also a help function on the device.I am really happy with mine, it does everything I want it to quickly and accurately, The app and software are also really clever and not just a gimmick.Please hit the helpful tab if my review was of any use to you, many thanks.
