BOSCH GLM100-23 100 Ft Blaze Laser Distance Measure, Includes 2 AA Batteries

Just got it i originally had the 65ft version and it worked great as well but it got ruin after my little brother throw it in the washing machine the new one 100ft seems as promising as the 65ft and better this is a simple and most useful tool for someone that is measuring more than 30ft distances very often, and I do believe me I do electrical estimates so I be measuring more than 30ft often and this tool makes it so much easier and time saving. I would recommend this tool to anyone that ask me for a laser measure. I just hope that this one doesn't end up like the last one and it might not be a bad idea to make them water proof.Amazing product!!!

I use this laser measure for architectural surveying to create asbuilt floor and ceiling plans. I work alone and use a laser measure and a sturdy 25' measuring tape. For 10 years I had been using a very premium but heavy bricked sized Leica measuring laser, until I met a contractor in the field who had a pocket sized laser like this. I was surprised at how small they were, and in the last couple years, how affordable they were. So I made the jump and purchased a different laser from this one two years ago. However, its battery life was a little sporadic, there were a lot of features I didn’t need, and it could only measure to a 1/16 of an inch, which is more than I need. You could also change the reference point of where the laser measures from (moving it from the rear of the laser to the front). This is not helpful when you can change it without realizing it.So recently I was researching newer lasers, since I was not satisfied and I found this GLM100-23. I spent time comparing it to some of the more expensive Bosch lasers, like the one with the green beam, but eventually decided this one. I measured with it yesterday and was so pleased with it.I love the fact you can adjust the fraction amount to what you need – gone was my mental math to assign a decimal value to 1/16ths of an inch (its faster to write down the decimal than the fraction). The screen showed one measurement at a time, but was so legible! The other laser had a screen that would time out and then it became hard to read. This laser has white numbers against a black screen that doesn’t time out! The laser is so small and lightweight, you can easily hold it and the tablet at the same time. Lastly, the reference point for the laser can’t change, so there’s no way to fudge up the measurements you need. Overall this laser is EXACTLY what I needed.Also, a note: the "click wheel" is an internally displayed menu that allows you to change the measurement option (from feet, to inches, to centimeters, to millimeters, and then feet as displayed 0'-00"). You access it by long pressing the fraction button.

very accurate. Great tool for estimating. I have tried several in the past, but I find Bosch to be a leader in this space.

Appears to be fairly accurate though it disagrees with tape measurement by about 1/8th inch...not sure which is correct. Used to measure height and width of porch screens before ordering Coolaroo shades. Laser is bright enough to see in bright sunlight. Flexible measurement feet, inches,centimeters.

Easy to use super clear directions. One button activation battery seemed a little less a long time. Visibility is good on the laser, and it measures a good distance

It runs on NiMh batteries just fine, and I really like how in inches mode, it shows hundredths of an inch.I definitely hope they keep that feature in the future because it can be used to tell if something is moving, even if it's not accurate to more than 1/16.Using AAA batteries is also brilliant because that's what most other things use these days, and most of my rechargeables are AAA. I think rechargeable alkaline is better than the built-in non replaceable lithium that some use.

This little tool is a time saver. When framing a wall that is not square it is a simple matter to find the length without having to pull the tape. You can adjust the accuracy down to 1/32 of an inch. I just leave it at 1/16" as that is usually close enough for rough cut lumber. Trying to read 1/32" on a tape is all but impossible. It also makes calculating square footage much faster as well. The read out on the screen is clear and easy to read in all but the brightest light. In that case, just hit the hold function and shade it a bit. The learning curve to use the tool is not steep at all. I would buy this again if I need another one.

Wow! This is so accurate! I already had the GLM-20, good for 20 meters, so this was a natural upgrade.
