Bosch GLM 42 BLAZE 135 ft. Laser Measure Model # GLM 42

So what is the Bosch BLAZE GLM 42 Laser Measure and why did we like it so much?  The GLM is a fully featured, easy-to-use tool, with a display guide that uses words, letters and icons to help the user through each measurement process. The back-lit color display screen really does put this measure at a whole different level. It’s bright, clear and very easy to read. Our opinion, It is almost impossible to find a better looking display on any other model, and that’s including the more expensive units.  

What is really impressive about the Blaze is that it provides real-time length, area, volume and indirect measuring functions and it has a 20-measurement storage capability and addition/subtraction functionality all in the same unit. Any measurement you need to take can be done with a push of a button, and it does it very well.

The ease of use was one of the biggest upsides to this tool. Every time I pushed a button, I received an immediate response. This was the smoothest and quickest laser measure that I have ever used.

The Blaze also includes a default real-time measurement mode, adjusting the measurement the closer to or further from the target the laser measure is. The digital bubble vial provides a visual reference when measuring horizontal distances. Thanks to its laser precision technology and real-time measurement mode, it takes instant and reliable measurements up to 135 ft., to size up the job in seconds. It is accurate up to ±1/16 in. And it fits in any pocket for easy access.
