Description
The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP GLM165-22 is a red beam laser distance measure with a 165-foot range, designed for trade professionals who need fast, accurate measurements on active jobsites. The unit features a backlit color display with high-contrast number resolution, making readings legible in low-light and no-light conditions. An integrated inclinometer expands measurement capability beyond simple point-to-point distances. The full rubber overmold housing wraps every major impact point in a roll-cage-style design, and the laser module carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this tool for layout, rough-in measurements, and space assessments.
The GLM165-22 suits residential and light commercial applications where frequent distance measurements are part of the daily workflow. Default real-time measurement mode continuously updates the reading as the user moves closer to or farther from the target, eliminating the need to re-trigger the laser for each shot. The add and subtract function lets technicians calculate net dimensions directly on the device without a separate calculator. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for use in mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and outdoor rough-in environments where dust and moisture are present.
