Bosch Measuring Tools has introduced the GLR225 laser distance measure, the latest addition to itsย award-winning line of laser measuring tools. The GLR225ย laser distance measurer is a quality product that downloads accuracy into a tool designed to fit into a pocket or tool pouch.ย Able to perform a wide variety of distance measuring tasks, theย GLR225 is ideal for builders, remodelers, project estimators,ย appraisers, architects, flooring contractors, interior decorators,ย plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, real estate agents, andย more.
Bosch GLR225 Laser Measure Features
Boschโsย GLR225 is designed to offer the longest range and best accuracy in its class, and withย a range of up to 230 feet and an accuracy of 0.06 in. (at 33 ft.), it pulls that off nicely. Theย 230-foot range will satisfy most interior and exterior applications.ย For added versatility, the GLR225 gives users the flexibility ofย measuring from four distinct reference points โ from the front orย back of the laser, from a 1/16โณ threaded tripod mount, or from aย swing-out extension pin, which is ideal for measuring from corners orย inside channels.
Keyย to the GLR225โs usefulness in a variety of applications is itsย ability to calculate measurements in seven different modes โ length,ย area, volume, minimum/maximum, continuous, indirect length andย multi-surface area measurements. The minimum/maximum mode allowsย users to determine the minimum and maximum distance from a fixedย reference point. In continuous measurement mode, the GLR225ย automatically adjusts measurements while the user is walking offย distances, ideal for project estimating applications.
The uniqueย indirect length mode allows the user to calculate inaccessibleย distances that cannot be measured directly (due to an obstruction ofย lack of reflecting surface) using the Pythagorean theorem (see, computers proving that indeed all those trigonometry classes were a waste!) Finally,ย the multi-surface area mode calculates the total area of severalย individual surfaces with a common length or height. Even afterย measurements have been calculated, the GLR225 offers furtherย versatility with its ability to show results in inches, feet/inches,ย decimal feet and metric.
Final Thoughts
Boschโsย GLR225 has an MSRP of $199 and comes complete with a soft belt-loop case, a hand strap, andย four AAA batteries. Optional accessories include Laser View-Enhancingย Glasses (DLA001) and a Laser View-Enhancing Target (DLA002). Theย GLR225 will be available this June through authorized Boschย distributors nationwide. To find out more or to find a local dealer,ย users may visit www.boschtools.com.
