I am happy with my purchase of the GLM 50CX its easy to use and I am still learning how to use all the features of the MeasureOn app that I think will be a great help with some of the projects that I have in mind.

Great tool a ton of useful features and the app is awesome for laying out a project. Glad I purchased this item. It is extremely accurate as confirmed against a normal tape measure.

This gadget is great. I bought it about a week ago. It seems to be quite accurate. I checked it against a tape the first time I used it. It shuts off pretty quickly so while I was entering my reading on my drawing, several times it would shut off and I would have to power it back on. It was not a big deal just a little annoying. Of course Bosch is trying to conserve battery life. I get it. When doing a bunch of measurements it becomes so automatic I would sometime forget to look at where the beam was hitting and come up with a strange reading. When I looked, the beam would be on something other than the wall I was aiming for. (a shower curtain !).. So bottom line look at the target, then look at the reading. I have not tried to use it outside, but inside it saved me a ton of time measuring.

Super helpful. It takes a few minutes to learn the various modes, but you’ll master it in no time. It also pairs via bluetooth with a phone/tablet, so if you’re using software to develop room plans, it will transfer measurements directly. Well designed, and worth every penny.

I am a home builder and this measure has greatly improved my efficiency. love it!! I have three now. First one had the smaller display, this one is very easy to read in any light. I have two of this model because I had to send in mine to repair the menu button that fell off. I can’t be without one. If Bosch reads this for my feedback I would like to have the option to toggle between 16 and 32 accuracy. Many times I am reducing to the 16th. I would also like to have the case more user friendly on the tool belt. It is too tight to get in and out with one hand. I have scratched up my display keeping it in my tool belt.

I haven’t used this too much since I got it but every time I have needed it, it’s fast, reliable and honestly, just a pretty cool tool. I would highly recommend this as no Bosch tool has ever failed me, and this is no exception.
