Review on BOSCH Blaze GLM50C: Bluetooth Enabled Laser Distance Measure with Color Backlit Display - Measure up to 165ft by Brad Arthur

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool, especially for measurements over 6 feet when .

Great tool especially for measurements over 6ft when working alone. Accuracy appears to be at least 1/32 if not closer. Commonly used for measuring when installing pine tongue and groove board. Position the base of the block at the base of the tongue and measure the length of the plank to the wall. Dead every time. Simply take two measurements to ensure the laser is hitting the target and not the insulation etc. Feet, inches and fractions take a little getting used to if you are used to reading inches/fractions on a standard tape measure but you will get used to it get to it quickly. Should have bought one of these much sooner. Saves countless steps up and down stairs and stretches precariously to position a ruler or tape. While not paramount, the level option is ideal for measuring elevation and tilt in degrees. A soft beep when level is reached, great for leveling equipment. Just remember that "plane" is defined by the 6 inch plane, not the 6 foot plane like the crop plane.
