Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 165-ft Laser Distance Measurer with Backlit Display

Amazing

SO versatile and accurate. Value is fantastic. Love it.

Priceless and time saving

I don't ever want to be without this fantastic tool! I have used it for the last 2 years to measure out the placement of both current and new ethernet, sound and electric placement in our historic church that was built in the 1860's. It is wonderful to get accurate measurement of ceiling beams, between walls and even wall thicknesses.

Metric?

Did I just buy this device assuming that it the setting can convert to metric and degree/percent slope - and it can't? It looks like a good product, but this is a show stopper... I would recommend if this wasn't important to the user...

Question ?

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question. I want to measure from the ground to metal ductwork above but the duct is only 2mm thick (the open end of a vertical duct hanging from the ceiling). Does this tool have the capability to lock onto a point that small and provide a measurement?

Lacking an Important Measurement Capability

This is a great laser Measuring tool with good features. It is well built and easy to use but it is lacking an important measuring capability. If you want to measure the length between 2 horizontal points without access to any of those points, this tool can not do that. For example, you can not measure a length of a roof gutter from standing on the ground. Using the tool as is you need to be at one of the end points of the gutter which means going up a ladder which either defeats the purpose of ...

The Perfect Measuring Device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well. Quick and accurate measurements. Easy to use.

Great tool to have with few fixes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the tool. However when used with the app, it is bit glitchy some of the times. Tool works fine I believe the app would need some more work to it.

Bluetooth Feature is Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased and used to measure outdoor features of a house including roof height. Really liked the bluetooth feature that links directly to ios app to record measurements. The only problem I have encountered so far is measuring exterior features on a sunny day--hard to see the laser point in the sun. Otherwise, great tool and easy to use especially for one person.

Superbly accurate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned my laser measuring device for over a year now. Friends in the construction business had always bragged on their run of the mill devices until I put them in their place. I especially love the feature of calculating square footage using the measurements taken. The ample measurement history is also another great feature I enjoy.

Skip the Tape - Get The Laser!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was always trying to find a measuring tape that had a longer reach without collapsing. Working by yourself and trying to measure longer distances can be miserable. I purchased this and wondered why I didn't do it sooner. If you are frequently working alone and measuring distances more than 20 feet, buy this thing! Accurate out of the box without calibrating.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Technology sure has come along way. Saw this laser on You-tube and wish I had this 20 years ago. Measuring base is a breeze. Doing a kitchen and used it for the crown. Dead ON. No more forgot the inch, did that hock right and trying to read the tape over the lower cabinets in the back corner in a dark kitchen. Great tool!!!

accurate and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to use and accurate up to 0.1 inch on my projects

GLM 50 C

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Precise measurements are a must. After seeing two engineers trying to measure a 30 ft high window with tape measures, I figured there had to be a better way. This has made all of my measurements more accurate and reliable. I can't say I exactly love Bosch's fillers, but this thing has highly impressed me. Heavily recommended for anyone with larger projects that require precise measurements. In addition to measure distance it can: -Act as a lev...

So easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this laser measure makes it so easy to take measurements! It's compact and easy to use! Now I don't have to wait for my husband to hang up pictures, new blinds, etc. I also like that it automatically calculates sq ft. for you without a measuring tape or trying to walk off the measurements! Glad that I added this my tool bag.

My new partner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in construction and was pretty skeptical of this thing. I figured it would be good for rough measurements but it’s so much better. I am able to measure things like crown moulding and ceiling grid by myself with ease in seconds, measurements that are too long to do by yourself in a timely manner. It eats triple a batteries though so I will probably invest in some rechargeable ones.

The perfect little pocket-sized tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This LDM makes quick work of measuring rooms for materials! It fits nicely into my pocket and the battery life is amazing. I definitely recommend this item to others.

Great for measuring

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tool! I use it all the time when going in to do estimates to know how big of an area I may be working in. I also use it for when I’m installing base, shoe, and crown molding. It makes my installation move a lot quicker then pulling out my tape measure. It’s a pretty accurate measuring tool that I love using on the job.

Accurate and reliable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this guy to measure stuff for probably 2 years now. It's very accurate and can be much more convenient than a tape measure for many circumstances. I really only use it for measuring; I haven't played around with the fancier features that it has. The red glasses that are sold for use with red laser equipment genuinely make it much easier to see outside in the sunlight. The only knock that I have on this product is that it really ...

So useful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thoroughly impressed with the features of their laser measuring tool. I’ve used this on several projects small and large and it has worked flawlessly. Great product!
