@@davedave9780 You can set it to always round to the nearest 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. Great little tool. Expensive but its been great for me. Being able to choose the fractional rounding precision was a game changer for me. It allows me to choose for allowable tolerance and not have to convert every single time!
OMGosh! I just lost my laser and buying a new one today! I’m totally getting this one. It has features I wish my last one had!!! Thank you for this video!
Do you know if either of these Lazers have the ability to compensate the distance measurement based on any slight offset of the angle when the measurement is taken. I.e. lets say you accidentally take a measurement with the device on a 0.7 degrees off level, and it compensates for this with the measurement?
Thank you so much for finally developing a laser measure device with the green beam. I have suggested to Lecia to do this but it has fallen on deaf ears. A green beam is ideal for me measuring homes outdoors, especially since I am color blind and can barely see the red beam.
Thank you for your video, I'm a trim carpenter, thinking of using this for base molding measurements. Can the unit display measurements down to millimeters? Can the unit remember a series of measurements similar to making a "cut list"?
Glad we were able to help! Yes, the Bosch BLAZE series is able to remember up to thirty of your previous measurements, and you're able to change the style of measuring by holding down the power button while the device is turned on (from imperial to metric). Thanks for reaching out, let us know if we can help further at all!
serious draw back here i have the previous one it has a level there needs to be a level also how about adding a laser tracker so you can pick up the line just like a regular laser?
Does it only measure if the device is butted up to something? If I wanted to measure the length of a table but I have nothing to butt the device up to, is there a feature on this that can do that?
That's mostly to make sure you're flush with the object you're trying to measure; if you set the level at the end of a table, you'd just have to make sure your hand is there to support it while it takes its measurements!
Great question! The inclinometer measures the orientation angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity. It is used in both the 25 and 27 models to show tilt angles up to 360° for easy angle and indirect measurements.
@@OhioPowerTool So does this feature include automatic trig height calculation? For example could I stand some distance from my house, measure that distance and then aim it at the roof peak to obtain the height of the house, less my tripod height based on the tangent function? I need this capability. Thanks, John
OPT….Shootin’ Lasers! Erry’body better watch out now! Nice video. Lots of good information. Not quite the VCG level of energy in this one, which is OK. Felt like I should have had my pipe and smoking jacket and convene in the study for an amusing discourse on features and benefits Laser devices. I say, well done, ol’ chaps!
I install a lot of shelving in houses and I have a question on this. If I’m measuring length from wall to wall, do I have to add the length of the device to my measurement if I had it pressed into a corner measuring to the other corner on the same wall?
There are several settings, and if you're needing to use it like a tape measure, you can set your starting point to the back of the laser. That should make things a little easier for you.
Nice review. I have a question. I'm planning to use this to measure the inside sizes of windows to make window coverings. The laser I have now displays 4 measurements as a list (current measurements and 3 previous ones). This helps me to find the shortest one without remembering my previous measurements. Does this laser has an option similar to this? If yes, how many measurements will it display? Thanks
An excellent question, and one that we can definitely help you out with! The Bosch GLM165 line will display up to thirty of your previous measurements, so you should be set for plenty of windows!
I always use my GLM165-27C to find measurements for inside-mounted blinds. In the device menu highlight the Continuous Measure mode and press the Function button, then select min/max mode. Now just measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window and you will have the minimum distance you'll need for your blinds. Tip: If you aren't sure how to use a function? Once a mode is highlighted you can press the gear button and it will display a short tutorial on how to use it.
How does the battery charge and what’s the run time? I have the glm 500 and love it. It’s completely changed my work flow as a carpenter how ever I burn through batteries. Some times it says new batteries are flat after a few measurements n then I turn it iff and on and they are back to full. I’ve tried different types of batteries and rechargeable as as well. It the only down fall I’ve found. Also when will it be out in Australia ;-) nice review.
I want to use such a device with a plastic corner-cube reflector plate, which reflects THOUSANDS as much back in the direction of the emitter than a white paper-like surface. (See Lambertian reflector.) I want to measure 500, 1000, 2000 meters, with a resolution of 1 millineter . Problem is, I don't think the device will 'wair for' such a delayed reflection, even when it arrives late. And, of course, the display doesn't have sufficient digits to display this.
Hello, I need help, do you know how to know the date of manufacture without opening the box, because I intend to buy a device, and I am trying to check the date of manufacture from the seller on eBay without having to open the box thank you
Good morning! Unfortunately the date of manufacture is stamped on the tool itself; you'd have to take a look at the item to get that date from them. I apologise for the inconvenience!
what is difference between this GLM 165-27 cgl & Recently Launched in Europe & Australia Bosch GLM 50-27cg they both look identical functions look same is it only regional name difference or actually any function's difference
Great question! It does look like the two are practically identical, just made for US vs. European markets. However, many tools from Europe and other countries don’t always qualify for US safety and usage regulations like OSHA, so you should definitely make sure your tool meets these standards before buying a foreign alternative.
You can actually change that in the tool, from the base or top of the laser measure, so your choice. The default is typically from the base so you put base on one wall and hit laser on another you have the exact wall to wall measurement.
Everything but the most important feature. That is the delay timer so you can stabilize the laser and not have to press the measure function batten. So a pass for me!
Is there a feature where it will only measure if your holding it level, so easy to be holding these on a slightly angle and making the measurement inaccurate
If I am understanding your question correctly, yes it can measure multiple points and do the math on them. It stores them in a list and has an option to combine them.
That rounding button just sold me. I hated the previous 32nd inch only measurement
Ive got a pls that reads in 32 seconds only. Wtf. Not even trim dudes use 32 seconds. The rounding feature sold me as well.
Can you set it to always round or do you have to hit the button every time to round?

Peep sight would be nice too
Omg!!! I just got sold!! Real estate measuring just got easier.

the rounding was a game changer that got me to buy a new one and love the belt clip, how do I record 50 measurements and see what they are?
All your measurements are stored after you take them until you go in and delete the Memory!
I'm from ohio and also looking for a distance measure. Nice video
Do both the 25 & the 27 come with the inclinometer? How does it work? That feature was skipped during the video.

Shoot me your email and I will get those answers from Bosch for you. phil@ohiopowertool.com
Can I change the measurement magnitude to meters and leave it as the default? the model glm 165 27cg
You can change the settings with the function button and they should stay however you program them until you decide to change them again!

Hello does that have the option of measures in centimeters and not only in Feets?
They can also measure in meters in decimal measurement. So yes, but at a starting point in meters for metric.
Does it only measure in feet/inches? Or does it measure in meters/cm too?
Hey Fawaz! Typically with Bosch lasers, there should be a button you can press and hold to switch from feet to meters!
Does it connect to the Bosch app like the Australian model
The lasers can connect to the Bosch Toolbox app to track and manage your tool!

165ft = 50m
When you measured from the counter to the wall is it from the tip of the tool or from the actual counter?
You can actually change that in the tool, from the base or top of the laser measure, so your choice. The default is typically from the base so you put base on one wall and hit laser on another you have the exact wall to wall measurement.
@@OhioPowerTool What is the setting called to make sure which one it is set on?
Can it be calibrated?
Yes!
Everything but the most important feature. That is the delay timer so you can stabilize the laser and not have to press the measure function batten. So a pass for me!
You can trigger the laser measure function with your phone remotely.
Is there a feature where it will only measure if your holding it level, so easy to be holding these on a slightly angle and making the measurement inaccurate
The built in Inclinometer should help you out with that! The technology allows you to see if you're at an angle in your level, up to 360 degrees!!
how do i find this, i have the glm165-25g, says there is a level in it but cant find it anywhere@@OhioPowerTool
gen 3 needs a stud finder
Of course there is an Aggie.
There's a Jeremy and a Phil! And a couple of Blazes!
can it measure point to point to point to point to point Like Leica
If I am understanding your question correctly, yes it can measure multiple points and do the math on them. It stores them in a list and has an option to combine them.
Compatible with NiMH rechargeable batteries?
I don't see why it wouldn't be. Runs off AA Batteries, so shouldn't be a problem.
They also make on with a rechargeable li ion pack (cgl) model
Do these do metric?
Yes they do!
OFF?
Laser is till not as responsive
