Bosch Professional Laser-Entfernungsmesser GLM 50-27 CG

Great tool for speed and recording measurements. Download the Bosch app and you can simply measure against photos that you take. Definitely better than dodgy sketches that I would loose or get mixed up with. Would highly recommend. Measured an 11m distance outside and the green laser was still visible. Accuracy is very good, I used to check measurements just to make sure and every time would be 100%

If you do lots of measurements then this is the tool for you.

Excellent laser measure. Only received it today, set it up in 5 mins. Within 15mins I’d gone through all the functions and even remotely added dims to a photo. I can see massive benefits using this measure to produce quotation. Definitely recommend.

Very good laser measurer, green laser can be seen from a good distance away, and the app thats comes with is useful. Only slight negative is that this burns through batteries when not in use, if I forget to take them out after measuring a property, and come back to it the next week they will be fully depleted, and thats with the settings reviewed as to bluetooth and energy saving etc.

Decided to go with green laser as was having difficulty seeing the red one on site at distance. It works very well and just as accurate as my other Bosch lasers I have, great addition to the tool kit

I use this for everything atm, even measuring stuff that I could use a tape measure for. It is such a handy tool. And for £150 it’s amazing

I thought a Bluetooth laser measure was just going to be another unnecessary bolting on of Bluetooth onto anything vaguely electronic. Because you know, everything is better with Bluetooth...but actually, with the companion app "Measureon", I'm starting to think this is a great idea. Starting with the device itself, it feels robust - lots of plastic and rubber but it doesn't feel cheap, just ruggedised. The pouch is your standard canvas belt loop pouch, it's fine. The green laser is infinitely better than red, it really makes you wonder why they began with red, it's much more visible even in direct sunlight. The functions are great, your basic point click measure, a continuous measure and digital level amongst the very useful. There are the more complicated, area, volume, staking out and indirect measure - requires a bit more learning to make proper use of but once you get the hang of it they perform well enough to be useful. I wouldn't want to be staking out a house foundation using this and an 'indirect' measure might be more easily done with your stone age tape measure - but if used in the right situations, they will be useful. Obviously the app is probably the main reason you'd shell out £200 and it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's quick to install, open, draw out your layout, connect the device and get measuring. So it's actually pretty impressive in terms of seamless/quick working. I'd like to see more functionality though, you can draw out the shape of your layout and it will snap it automatically into straight lines - great. Click on one layout line to input length, click the lasers measure button and it scales the wall on the apps drawing and records the measure automatically - great. You can also take pictures and draw on them, and again automatically drop in measurements from the device e.g. take a picture of a wardrobe and measure it's dimensions. But that's it - the device has several functions that would require the old pencil and paper to make use of. It's a very early release of the app however so I'd imagine some more functionality is in development. All in all, if you're a professional of any kind, plumber, leccy, builder - this is a great piece of kit that could save hours in your quotes/prep work, producing accurate drawings to work from very quickly. Pricey? Yes. But the time saved will quickly pay for this and then some. Reccomended

I'm not much of a fan of Bosch equipment as most of their 'consumer' products are fairly low rent. At one time I used to look at Bosch as being a cut above but the fact is that most of their DIY market stuff is not particularly good. So, I wasn't expecting much but, by gum I was wrong. Clearly Bosch have made the marketing decision to differentiate their tools into a green range - DIY and a professional range in blue. I guess that's similar to how Stanley treated Black and Decker and DeWalt. And there is a real difference. I already have a Bosch 'green' stud finder and now this pro-level measurement tool and it's very obvious that there is a step change in quality. The choice of materials, the tactile feel and the operation are worlds apart. In use this is superb. Really. You have the straight forward one line measurement but also other options such as room area and volume that can be automatically calculated with the measurements. And to ensure that the measurement is correct there is also an indicator that ensures it will not take a measurement unless the tool is exactly level. That avoids you taking a shot at an angle leaving you with an inaccurate distance. The actual unit is also small and will easily fit into a pocket for easy carrying and regular daily use. Overall, this is the best laser measurement tool I've ever used and I have had a few.
