📏 Bosch Professional Laser Measure GLM 30 - A Must-Have for Professionals Review

This item does not match the picture. Do not be fooled. I have returned this item. A few dollars (more) difference between what I ordered and Lowe's so shipping was worth it. This item costs $30 more than the Lowes and doesn't have the same features. Do not buy.

This device is too limited in features for the price. There is no way to change the units - they depend on the metric. The only customization is toggling the sound on and off, a big deal. It doesn't measure in real time, you have to press a button for each measurement. For the price of this device you should at least be able to change units and have continuous measurement. I don't know why the engineers put this model out in the first place because they have a number of other models with lots…

This is a pretty good block and appears to be accurate, but I found it difficult to read. It's smaller than I expected, with a screen the size of a postage stamp.

Reading fractions is particularly difficult. I would recommend finding a device with a larger screen. Perhaps one of the more expensive Bosch devices is a better choice.

Technically I bought it from Lowes (same price as Revain) but I'm only reviewing Revain. That's great for my purposes. I'm not really a tool specialist and don't need the advanced features that a pro might want. I'm just a regular consumer who needs to measure multiple rooms without struggling with a tape measure and that helps. I find it fairly accurate (confirmed a few measurements with a tape measure) and I like how he knows what to do. Add your own length to the measurement (also confirmed…

So there are (at least) two Bosch products called "GLM-30". It only has one button. The other has 5 buttons and many more functions. Oddly enough, simpler doesn't mean less, and it doesn't even mean cheaper. It's only worse. Why does it exist? The only thing it can do is add lengths. why do you want it I have no idea. It does not have a continuous measurement mode. The last 3 measurements you took are not displayed. It takes one dimension when you press the button. That's all. You can switch…
