Bosch Measuring Tools has introduced the GLR225 laser distance measure, the latest addition to its award-winning line of laser measuring tools. The GLR225 laser distance measurer is a quality product that downloads accuracy into a tool designed to fit into a pocket or tool pouch. Able to perform a wide variety of distance measuring tasks, the GLR225 is ideal for builders, remodelers, project estimators, appraisers, architects, flooring contractors, interior decorators, plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, real estate agents and more.
Bosch GLR225 Features
Bosch’s GLR225 is designed to offer the longest range and best accuracy in its class, and with a range of up to 230 feet and an accuracy of 0.06 in. (at 33 ft.) it pulls that off nicely. The 230-foot range will satisfy most interior and exterior applications. For added versatility, the GLR225 gives users the flexibility of measuring from four distinct reference points – from the front or back of the laser, from a 1/16″ threaded tripod mount, or from a swing-out extension pin, which is ideal for measuring from corners or inside channels.
Key to the GLR225’s usefulness in a variety of applications is its ability to calculate measurements in seven different modes – length, area, volume, minimum/maximum, continuous, indirect length and multi-surface area measurements. The minimum/maximum mode allows users to determine the minimum and maximum distance from a fixed reference point. In continuous measurement mode, the GLR225 automatically adjusts measurements while the user is walking off distances, ideal for project estimating applications. The unique indirect length mode allows the user to calculate inaccessible distances that cannot be measured directly (due to an obstruction of lack of reflecting surface) using the Pythagorean theorem (see, computers proving that indeed all those trigonometry classes were a waste!) Finally, the multi-surface area mode calculates the total area of several individual surfaces with a common length or height. Even after measurements have been calculated, the GLR225 offers further versatility with its ability to show results in inches, feet/inches, decimal feet and metric.
Bosch’s GLR225 has an MSRP of $199 and comes complete with a soft belt-loop case, a hand strap and four AAA batteries. Optional accessories include Laser View-Enhancing Glasses (DLA001) and a Laser View-Enhancing Target (DLA002). The GLR225 will be available this June through authorized Bosch distributors nationwide.
