► Bosch GLM-30 Laser Rangefinder

Bosch is not a new name in India’s electronics domain. Though based in Germany, the company has a substantial market share in India for electronic devices. Recently, we were given the privilege to review one of the company’s bestselling rangefinders for construction.  The device we reviewed was none other than the sturdy Bosch GLM-30 Professional Laser Rangefinder. The GLM 30 is part of Bosch’s GLM series, which includes some of the most effective distance-measuring gadgets like the GLM-50C and GLM-15. Particularly, here is why you should go for the GLM 30.

Total Precision: Since this device uses laser technology to detect distances, precision is a guaranteed factor.  Bosch configured this device to work within a range of up to 30 meters. Although this gadget can’t really challenge more sophisticated rangefinders in its series, it still supports basic functionalities. For instance, this gadget lacks a Bluetooth feature which is present in the Bosch GLM-100C Rangefinder. However, in its place, the GLM 30 uses an advanced auto sum function in collaboration with its laser technology to give you precise results.

When looking for a laser range finder for construction, durability is a significant factor to consider. This Bosch distance measurer has a compact ergonomic design that is complemented by a rubbery veneer. This design not only makes the gadget comfortable to use but also very tough on the outside.

One-button Operation: This pocket-sized rangefinder is also pretty easy to use. Bosch built the gadget with one quick access button. With this button, you can make measurements in the shortest time possible, all with one press of a button.  What makes this device stand out from most rangefinders for construction is its wide 3-line display. On this display, you can view the distance measurements, observe flooring levels, as well as calculate the area of a region.

Cons: The only slight letdown with this device is that it works best in low-light conditions or indoors. This gadget might disappoint you with outdoor usage.
