Great tools, you can buy lithium ion battery for your laser measure. The battery comes with an USB C port. I also have the belt clip for this tool, which I bought separately.

quick question, I am struggling to find the option that you can do full house/multiple room floor plans. does this laser measure do that? all reviews and bosch always illustrate single rooms. I am a heating designer and want a laser measure that can do this to avoid using another 3rd party app.

Hi, great video!!! I suppose there are no tech differences between the GLM 165-27 CG and the 165-27 CGL (but the ion battery) that I can add extra. Am I right?

This laser measure is second generation of very popular GLM 50 C model which I'm using for about 4 years. Bosch added some new extra features like robust construction, green laser technology, haptic feedback and support of lithium ion battery ( CGL model ), And these are enough for me to upgrade. Personally I prefer AA battery slot over li-ion on these kind of measure devices, the reason is I'm using Panasonic eneloop pro Ni-MH AA 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries on all my laser measure and level devices, they last much much longer with the benefit of in case you forgot to charge li-ion batteries or they die in middle of project you don't have to wait for charging and you can use normal or alkaline AA which are available every where and saves you precious site time. Tip: get a bunch of these eneloop pro batteries and you're done :) Thanks for the review and cheers.

Hey Mehdi. I have been using the old GLM80 for sometime now. This does feel like a nice upgrade. It is also quicker at getting the measurement which is something I noticed only a couple days ago. As for your battery suggestion, great idea! I definitely think that I will do that.

Your videos are spectacular, my compliments. Please, I just bought this measuring tape to replace my GLM80, but my measuring tape came without audible feedback in the bubble level and inclinometer function, I mean: when leveling the surfaces, zeroing the degree I don't have any audible feedback, which is very bad , because I cannot always maintain eye contact with the measuring tape display. So please answer me, does your laser tape measure also behave like this? Would you know how to connect this audible feedback to the bubble level and inclinometer function? Thank you, keep recording your videos, they are spectacular.... proceed ∞

Does it measure from the front of the device or calculate taking into account the length of the device. For example, when the device is butted up against a wall and it measures distance to the other wall, does it take into account the length of the device due to the laser being at the front of the. device

I want to use such a device with a plastic corner-cube reflector plate, which reflects THOUSANDS as much back in the direction of the emitter than a white paper-like surface. (See Lambertian reflector.) I want to measure 500, 1000, 2000 meters, with a resolution of 1 millineter . Problem is, I don't think the device will 'wait for' such a delayed reflection, even when it arrives late.
