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

This is easily the best laser measure tool I have used in the past 15 years at this price point. I measure real estate, hundreds of properties a year and have used many different brands of laser measure from inexpensive cheapos to expensive trying to find one that is accurate, reliable and easy to use. This Bosch Blaze GLM 100-23 is the best for the price offering base level measuring with the ability to change the type of measurement from Feet, Inches, MM, CM and others. I was skeptical due to the price but wow this is the one for me and my needs. Very clear and easy to read backlit screen, accurate, easily fits in my pocket, has a place to attach a lanyard which makes it easy to pull out of my pocket. The screen is bright and has a bright laser that I can see in sunlight. If your looking for a budget friendly design with good utility, reliability and is accurate you cant go wrong with this one.

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.

I've ordered a few others before that are cheap(ish). There are many that seem to think the users of these tools are dainty i/Apple users. No rubber padding, gleaming smooth surfaces, colorful yet tiny display fonts - what were those designers thinking?!No, I am glad to say that this unit had someone who actually either do DIY/Trade work or spoke to some people who actually use this. And this is for the US / Imperial non metric market. It displays in decent size fonts ... and in fractions. So for US / Canada users, this is way better than many which only show decimal Imperial measurements.The display is white on black, and its very legible in both bright and dark situations. Acuracy - its acurate enough for my use - 1/8th ... it can do finer than that to 1/16th.And if you need to, you can always do decimal imperial, or good old metric. Honestly, metric is so much easier, but unfortunately imperial is entrenched in the construction industry so we have to still specify in imperial.This particular model is 100ft - which is way plenty for my use, but laser measures shine when use for long distances beyond 20 ft, because that's when a tape measure then becomes difficult to manage. This is especially useful when setting up target practices (though most likely you'll use a range finder for those applications).Honestly, this is plenty good for my use. There are fancier models that help you calculate various compound calculations, and memory functions - such as area, but really - what you likely be actually using is a quick beep to get the measurement across a room/s.

Works great and speeds things up tremendously when you are working solo and don't have anyone to help hold the other end of a tape. Very accurate as ell. I would recommend.

Very small and lightweight compared to other more cost effective options. I have used several models as a licensed architect, and this definitely comes at the top of the list for its quick responses and easy handling. It would have been better if it came with a protection cover of some sort, but the product itself is very satisfying.

Cannot say how many times this little device saved me time and effort! Very accurate, low power consumption - batteries last quite a while - and somewhat easy-to-read display. In fact, My only complaint is the smaller numbers are very hard to read. For longer distances where a tape measure would sag out on you, this puppy can't be beat! In fact, I use it in places where I could use a tape just because it is more accurate than my eyeballs reading the tape or because I'd have to bend the tape at the end and guesstimate. Obviously, I would highly recommend it.

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!!!
