Bosch DLR165K

Bosch DLR165K - If you are looking for fast, easy, and accurate measuring, look no further than the Bosch DLR165K Digital Laser Range Finder Kit.




With precision laser measuring technology, a large measuring range, indirect length measurement, and more, you can count on this Bosch DLR165K to handle just about any task. And with a compact, portable design, this handy range finder fits in your pocket, so you'll always have Bosch DLR165K when you need it.

I do trim carpentry and build cabinets and needed something to give me fast accurate measurements for doing crown moldings and the Bosch DLR165K delivered. It comes with a handy case that you can hang on your belt keeping it in reach. I use Bosch DLR165K for any measurement that would require me to bend the tape and try to guess what the reading would be or where the distance makes it difficult to accurately do with tape measure. Bosch DLR165K also has the ability to do continuous reading allowing you to aim at an object and move yourself forward or backward until you are the desired distance from the target object.

A steady hand does help but the uses are endless due to Bosch DLR165K is ability to read off its front edge, a tripod mount hole, off its back edge, or its extendable rod. It would be a good idea to make sure the tape measure you use for transferring the measurements matches the rangefinder before starting a job. The only negative of Bosch DLR165K I have discovered is that a measurement in feet and fractions of an inch are stored in memory and then redisplayed in decimal forcing me to then convert the number back into fractions. That said the display holds my measurement long enough for me to get my molding, measure, and make the cut before the display shuts off. I have recommended this Bosch DLR165K to all my friends who do a lot of measurements on their job.
