Bosch laser level: an overview of many models and how to choose a level with a 360-degree sweep + customer reviews
Installation of structures and finishing often require correct adherence to planes and lines.
The German brand Bosch supplies the Russian market with several lines and many models of laser levels and levels.
They differ both in price and in their characteristics.
How do you make sense of this spectrum of models?
We bring you the top 10 best brand laser levels.
How to choose and what to look for?
To choose the right tool, you need to rely not only on its price, but also on its technical characteristics.
Here are some points to watch out for:
- The nature of the planned work... If you intend to use it at home, a simple household level without additional professional "bells and whistles" will be enough. However, if capital construction is planned, it is better to pay attention to the professional "blue" ruler of levels and levels.
- Number of beams... The functionality and accuracy of the level, as well as the direction, depend on the number of rays. For household work, levels with a horizontal direction are suitable, but sometimes it is better to give preference to two-projection levels.
- The error affects the quality of measurements and markings... For professional levels, the error does not exceed 0.5 mm / m, but for household needs, an error of 1.5 mm / m is allowed.
- The measuring range provides the maximum distance at which the projection will be visible... For outdoor work, it is better to choose devices with a longer range.

Customer Reviews
BOSCH Quigo III
On the plus side, it works. But it is intended only to hang a shelf. The laser is dim, the line is too thick. There is no design, no equipment, the beam quickly diverges at a distance of two meters from the wall. I don't advise anyone to take it, it's not worth your money. Some Chinese do better.
BOSCH GLL 2-10 Professional (0601063L00)
Solid quality unit. He copes with his work perfectly, he fixed all the electrics with his help. The error is very small, the line is easy to read in the light of lamps. Unless the price is unreasonably high, for this money you can buy something more powerful from other companies. Cheat for the brand, you can't get away from it.
