📐 Bosch GOL 32 Automatic Optical Level Review

I use this in my high school architectural design and geometry class. It is durable and easy to use. The optics are surprisingly clear. I liked the distance calculator built into the grid.

Works well but I thought it would be sharper and better than the competition as it's Bosch. I bought that and a 32x David White. It was in my tool box as a backup in case David White collapsed. I thought this Bosch 26x would be sharper than David White as it is a more well known brand. Both are equally sharp, but I prefer the higher magnification. There is nothing wrong with this product, it is exactly what I expected. I'm just happier with another brand because it's just as good as this one.

Product description is inaccurate. It says it "automatically aligns". It's just not true. It's the hardest to get this transit level to 100% in all directions since you only have to use one bubble. You can get to the point with the help of an eyeball and nothing more. I was led to believe that this transit is different, better that it levels itself off automatically. It is impossible. You need to align it with 3 thumbscrews and a bubble level. Not unlike the transits of the 1950s. i give it…

I have to give it 1 star, very poor construction, made in China with a lot of plastic parts. This is not professional quality - as advertised. Not at all what I expected. My old Transits are of much better quality and are mostly American steel. As a professional builder, I am very disappointed. i have to return it It's also important to note that the tripod and ruler are not professional quality with plastic clamps and adjustment arms - they definitely won't hold up.

Bought this for some projects I had so glad to get it and get to work. My excitement bubble burst immediately when I didn't get it. I must have received the same from Revain that another buyer sent back to Revain because I had the same issue as their review. I read some good reviews about this product and some bad ones, I thought maybe the bad ones just don't know how to set it up properly. I usually trust Bosch to make good products, but this one wasn't good. Revain kindly refunded me no…

does its job very well. I did a lot of leveling and measuring the shoreline of my pond (1 acre, about 200ft by 200ft) and my 700ft gravel driveway. The optical system isn't perfect and I have to tweak it a bit to get a sharp picture (let's just say it's not a Leupold scope :-) if you know what I mean), but it works.ps Ah yes , if you old tired eyes like mine, you need the best glasses you have or it will be difficult to focus on the scale and ruler at the same time. Tip: Defocus the background…

Professional Contractor - I ordered this item to replace an older Johnson model that had grown legs. It arrived as described - solid case and all parts included. The initial setup took a long time but once I completed it it was perfect right out of the box - no adjustments needed. With the self-leveling bubble, daily setup takes just a minute or two. Remains accurate during use and is very easy to focus and adjust. I highly recommend this product to other contractors and builders who need an…

So the price I paid was $270. I got a measuring stick and tripod for this, these items cost $80 separately or more if purchased elsewhere. First class product. Easy to use and makes the job very quick and easy. I use it to estimate retaining walls and patios and drainage lines for my small landscaping business. It is very important to have an assistant, this machine is not designed for one person. Read the instructions and register this product to get the best value for your money. I keep the…

First of all I wish there was a zero star option. That being said, I want you to know that I am a regular Bosch customer. I've been a builder for 15 years. But I was shocked at how poorly I was treated when I actually had a problem with one of these products. I bought a Bosch GOL 26 optical level, I used it myself both times; It was in new condition, it was kept at my home. The device started not staying straight when I tried to use it for the third time. I then sent it to the company for…

Fantastic! Works perfectly. Professionally packaged and shipped. Spirit level, tripod and rod work without any problems. The case for the level is awesome. The base of the tripod actually has rubber boots on sharp spikes. I didn't notice at first that the rubber caps had to be removed because they were slightly pointed. They turned out to be real spikes, but remove the rubber covers to reveal very sharp spikes to keep the tripod from slipping on soft surfaces like dirt or lawn. Rubber boots are
