- Reviewed in Canada on August 5, 2024Verified Purchasei use it for work. Its professional looking when you pull this out to get measurements with a customer.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 4, 2019Verified PurchaseThis is the second one I buy, the first one was for an employee. We both love them and use them quite frequently during visits of the client locations. I dropped mine only once but it held up quite well and the sides are quite well rubberized which limits the amount of time it slips out of your hands. It’s simple to use and if I only had one critique it would be I wish it measured to a distance of 200 feet which seems to be the distance I run into on occasion. A trick to get around this is measure from the wall to a solid fixed object such as a steel column and take another measurement for the rest of the way to get the total length.

5.0 out of 5 stars Measure up to 165’ accurately by yourself.
Verified PurchaseWhen it comes to precise and efficient distance measurement, look no further than the Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40 165ft Laser Distance Measure with Color Backlit Display. The precision, user-friendliness, and cutting-edge features of this laser distance measure make it stand out, making it suitable for both experts and do-it-yourselfers.
The accuracy with which the Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40 measures distances is one of its most striking qualities. This tool provides precise measures with an accuracy of up to 1/16 inch, doing away with the need for estimation and the possibility of inaccuracy that comes with more conventional techniques of measurement. Accurate and reliable measurements are guaranteed by laser technology, making this an indispensable tool in many fields.
The color backlit screen really makes things pop and improves the use of the device. The bright and clear display makes the readings legible in a wide range of lighting settings. This function is especially helpful while working in low light or direct sunlight, since it allows you to see your measurements clearly and correctly no matter the lighting conditions.
Even for those unfamiliar with laser distance measures, the Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40's user interface is straightforward. All of the device's features and measurement modes are intuitively laid out, and the simple layout makes switching between them a breeze. The ability to store and retrieve measurements is a convenient feature for tasks that require a large number of readings to be taken.
Another great feature of this laser distance gauge is how long it lasts. The high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship guarantee the device will hold up under constant use in a professional setting. The Bosch Blaze Pro is built to last through the rigors of professional or recreational use by anybody from builders and architects to weekend warriors.
The device's portability and small size are major selling points. It is compact enough to be carried in a pocket or on a tool belt. This convenience means you may ditch the laborious and heavy measuring tools in favor of a portable, accurate distance measuring device.
For professionals and do-it-yourselfers alike, the Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40 165ft Laser Distance Measure with Color Backlit Display is a game-changer. It is a must-have for any workshop thanks to its accuracy, brightly lit display, intuitive controls, and long lifespan. This laser distance measure provides accurate measurements every time, making it ideal for use in the building industry, interior design, and DIY home repair. Its cutting-edge design and superb functionality have earned it my unqualified praise and a perfect score of five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40
Verified PurchaseMuy buena calidad por el precio que lo conseguí, liviano y fácil de usar, muy conveniente de transportar en su estuche.
Pros: Precisión, cálculo de área, volumen, protección IP54 (polvo y agua), memoria, substracción y suma de medidas, pantalla iluminada, distintas unidades de medición (metros, pies, pulgadas)
Contras: No es recargable, usa baterías AAA (incluidas, se recomiendan alcalinas, las de carbón le duran muy poco), en condiciones de mucha luz solar es fácil perder el cursor a distancias arriba de 10 m, y no es fiable la lectura en ocasiones.
A pesar de los contras, es una herramienta muy útil y fiable por su precisión; indispensable para arquitectos, contratistas, ingenieros, etc. para mediciones rápidas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy size and easy to use
Verified PurchaseThe unit appears to be robust and well designed.
Easy to use, although I always read manuals.
Seems to work very well. I tested it on my surround sound TV system and corrected the speaker distances and am very happy with the result. I can hear the speakers are now in better synch.
I'm finding it very helpful for measuring all kinds of things quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Handy Tool
Verified PurchaseThis is an extremely handy tool and has become a daily-use item on my belt. It is exceedingly accurate. The stated range is, shall we say, very optimistic. On a bright day I tried measuring the distance from the ground to the top of my chimney to see if a 32' ladder would make it and I couldn't get a measurement, a distance that turned out to be 29 feet. The same reading was not problematic on an overcast day. In bright outdoor conditions 30' is probably the realistic maximum my unit will read (and also about as far as I can make out the dot, so it becomes a moot point when working alone). Indoors it is much better. I have never tried measuring anything near 165' with it, but I will say that realistically this is totally unfeasible. No normal human could see the targeting dot at that range, nor hold the unit still enough to aim at anything specific at that range.
The volume and square footage calculations are intuitive and super, super handy. It saves a ton of time for material estimation. Battery life is great, so far I use it a dozen times a day every day and have gone two months without changing the battery. Update: batteries went six months being used for about half an hour a day every day, and being stored in an unheated jobsite in the winter in Vermont. Impressive!
After about a year the markings on the buttons on mine are wearing off, but otherwise the unit performs as it did when it was new.
Though exceedingly handy, this tool is no substitute for a tape. It excels in measurements tapes are problematic for, especially measuring inside distances between two objects, and of course any measurement beyond the "stand out" limit of a tape. However, it's useless at measuring linear distance on flat surfaces where you have nothing to bounce the laser off of. The place where this comes up on a daily basis is measuring boards for cutting. The back edge of the unit, the zero point in measurement, is hard plastic with butyl rubber over-molding right against it and rounded corners. This makes it hard to precisely mark the back edge with a pencil, and you certainly wouldn't want to cut against it. I think Bosch could improve this design quite a lot for carpentry applications by fabricating the back zero point out of metal and getting the over-molding out of the way for easy, accurate marking and squaring-up to objects.
Bosch includes a velcro belt loop that is too small to fit on tool belts, and the velcro on mine deteriorated to the point that it would just fall off when bumped after about a month of daily wear. My wife removed the velcro for me and sewed in a bit of webbing from the velcro loop edge to the bottom edge of the case, allowing me to get it on a tool belt and ditch the worn-out velcro. This has worked fine for a year now.
I'm giving this 5 stars because it's an extremely handy tool and is well made, though the aforementioned shortcomings definitely do detract when using it in a construction role. Nonetheless, I'm pretty well hooked, and if I broke it tomorrow I would certainly replace it immediately. If you are using it for indoor applications where precise marking is not a concern and you're not wearing a tool belt, this is absolutely ideal. For estimating material needs quickly it's absolutely indispensable.
**UPDATE** Just wanted to throw out that I have been running this unit for three years now. The markings on the buttons are totally gone and the pouch fell apart long ago. It fits perfectly in the small front pocket of my Diamondback Mazo (good riddance, silly velcro thing) and I long also memorized the buttons, so it's of no consequence. The tool still measures as new. 5 stars all the way, I can't believe this little thing has held up like it has.
