Work in the flooring industry. This is great for measurements. I typically use it 4-5 times a week. In clients homes with a ton of furniture sometimes there is no way I would be able to use a tape measure without the client helping me. The BOSCH laser makes it easy to have a conversation with the client and measure with ease. In the 2 years I have used it the batteries have died twice. I keep spare batteries in the car.

Works well for landscape design
I have used this a lot since 2023. The back is dated July 2022. It’s very reliable and I’ve only changed the batteries one time. The only downside is that I’m a landscape designer and I use it outside a lot. It’s often difficult to see the laser outside unless I’m pointing it to the shade. If I’m working in the sun, I have to measure the old-fashioned way.

Same as other's experience. Loved it until it stopped working within 1 year. Would love to get another one but too much money for something that doesn't last a year.

Survived 4 Tons of force
Mine was ran over. It still turns on. The screen is dead but lights up. 100% durability, screen is very easily replaceable.

It was great when it worked.
Love the features of this laser measure. Tried to use it a couple of days ago and it was dead. Thought it was just the batteries, but new batteries didn't help. I see now from other reviews, that this is a common problem. Doesn't seem to be a question of if it will die, but when.

I bought this 6 months ago and used it a few times in the same day. Now I need it but it won't turn on even with new batteries. I should have listened to the other reviewers and buy something else.

Great tool. But it just stopped working.
Love these tools and are a life saver. If they work. I purchased this unit awhile ago and only used maybe a dozen times. However now it wont display properly. only bits of the screen work. Tried changing the batteries but still no luck. Very disappointing since it was just kept in my bag and barely used.

Started Great but just stopped working
This was a lifesaver for measuring for me until one day it just could not get a reading regardless of lighting. Then it simply would not turn on, even with new batteries. Great while it works, but not durable.

Workhorse with great features
I bought this a long time ago and have used it for countless construdtion as-builts and remodels. Always tough and dependable. With a 10 memory capacity I am able to take the measurements then enter them in a laptop, I never have to go back for missed measurements. Buying a new one with bluetooth enabled. Bosch lives up to it's name!
