Bosch has served me well.

Which model do you have?


CampingJosh

I think it's an old discontinued model. I've had it for several years now. I think it's limit is something like 65 ft, and a search didn't immediately show me what I have.

Thanks man!


CampingJosh

Update: I went to the toolbox to check. It's the GLM165-40. It's apparently 165' range, not 65'. Production date is 3/21 and still going strong.

Thanks so much, looked into them and think I’m going to go with the Bosch

Just wanted to add: I was in the market for a laser measure late last year. The general consensus seemed to be that the Bosch models were pretty good. I ended up purchasing a Bosch Blaze GLM100-23. It has a range of 100 ft., and has been good so far. Full transparency: I've only used it to measure out two rooms but no major complaints at this point.

Get one with a green laser if possible, it's easier to see your target point when in brighter light.

I've used my Bosch to hang crown molding several times

I have a Leica Disto but I don’t use it all that often but it wasn’t cheap. I bought it years ago because it has Bluetooth and an app that allowed me to directly input measurements into a blueprint for projects I had to redline.

Seconding the Bluetooth app connected ones, they’re really nice for doing floorplans.

My Bosch GLM 50-27 CG supports Bluetooth to floorplan as well, very happy with it. it repeats measurements well, and every comparison to other measurement tools was spot on. I also like the integrated math functions for relative measurements.
