Measure On

Simplicity and ease of use provide the inspiration for the Bosch BLAZE GLM 20. With a single touch of a button, the unit turns on and begins real-time measurement. Default real-time measurement adjusts automatically the closer to or farther from the target the user is – providing walk-off results just like a tape measure. Click the button once more to record the distance in the device’s internal memory. Once the measurement is complete, press and hold the same button to turn the laser measure off.

The Bosch BLAZE GLM 20 laser measure is ideal for hard-to-reach places in dark corners thanks to its backlit display. That makes for easy and convenient viewing in all applications, which eliminates guesswork and increases productivity.

The Bosch BLAZE GLM 20 weighs only 0.2 lbs. with a length of 4 inches, so it can fit comfortably in hand or pocket. The laser measure’s square, flat design makes the Bosch BLAZE GLM 20 easy to use on any surface and offers ready-anywhere portability.
