          A:  Hi there! This GLM20 is not designed for leveling. It doesn't feature digital level. This is use for distance measurement, height or length. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

            A:  When you use this apparatus for distance measurement, you need to level it for accuracy so if you use it in conjunction with a level for horizontal or vertical line, I don't see why not.

              Q:The Product details says it is protected by a three year limited warranty. When I was reading the one star reviews one of the Bosh reps told someone it had a one year warranty. What is the truth, is it one year or three as quoted on the website ??

                      Q:How accurate is it outdoors, less than 20ft away

                      Answer This Question

                      A:  It’s not that great for taking outdoor measurements. If it’s a bright day it’s almost impossible to see the laser. I usually try measuring towards a dark object if there’s one. Even then it’s hit an miss for measurements farther than 20’

                        A:  Its accurate just hard to see the laser dot when it’s sunny.

                        by|Jul 21, 2021

                        A:  Most laser-based products are going to have trouble giving readings outdoors, especially in direct sunlight. However, I have found that this unit does work pretty well at short distance (< 20 ft) outside in most conditions. But again, in bright direct sunlight you really can’t rely on low power lasers. The good news is that if it does give a reading it will be accurate, just sometimes it will not be able to give a reading.

                            Q:When using to measure, do you need to butt the back end of the unit to the opposite wall to measure or do you place the front of the unit below the opposite wall to get accurate measurement.

                            A:  Dear Harleyrider17, This device always measures from the back end to the target. It is surprisingly accurate within 3 mm. It can be set to standard or metric and has a hold function which allows viewing the measurements following sighting the target. I have to be careful when measuring into carpet or curtains which throws the measurements off but placing a sheet of paper or something solid to target overcomes this. I hope this helps you with a decision about your project. Sincerely yours, Hamrdul

                            A:  Hi! For the GLM 20 X, the measurements are taken from the rear edge of the tool as indicated by the icon located on the tool’s rubber overmold. After the measuring tool is switched on, continuous measurement starts and you will just need to aim the laser beam at the target surface.

                              A:  It has been awhile since I have used it, but I know I have used it both ways. If you use it butt up against the wall then add the length of the unit to your measurement.
