Product Description

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 tool 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 it when you need it.

Precision Laser Technology
Utilizing precision laser technology, the DLR165K takes length, area, and volume measurements that are accurate up to 1/16 inch. Whether you're trimming and scribing cabinets and counters or preparing to cut lumber, pipes, or conduit, you'll appreciate the DLR165K's fast measurement time of 0.5 to 4.0 seconds. You'll also love the easy-to-read digital display that shows all results in three units of measure: feet and inches, decimal feet, and metric.

4 Measuring Reference Points for Ease of Use
For further convenience, a single laser beam does both the pointing and the measuring. What's more, the DLR165K has four measuring reference points--back, front, swing-out extension pin for measuring from inside corners and channels, and center of tripod (sold separately). This means you can take several measurements simultaneously, without repositioning the unit. Also, a large range from two inches to 165 feet gives you the versatility you need to complete a variety of jobs.

3 Measurement Modes Offer Flexibility
Easier to use and more accurate than a tape measure, the DLR165K makes measuring a one-person job, even when walking off distances. In fact, its continuous-length mode automatically adjusts your measurement as you move forward, which means you won't waste time taking notes and repositioning the tool.

There's also an indirect measuring mode that calculates the distances that cannot be measured due to obstructions or lack of reflecting surfaces. Additionally, a continuous laser mode saves you time by reducing key strokes during rapid measurements.

World's Smallest Digital Range Finder
Measuring 4 x 2-15/16 x 1-1/4 inches, the DLR165K is the world's smallest digital range finder. You can easily fit it into your pocket, place it over your hand with the included hand strap, or hook its included carrying case on your belt loop. An added bonus, the DLR165K features an ergonomic soft grip area for a secure, comfortable hold.

One of Bosch's Most Innovative Measuring Tools
The DLR165K is part of Bosch's new line of compact, user-friendly, multipurpose measuring and layout tools. These tools are designed for optimum precision, so your project stays on course from start to finish. They level, align, measure, and detect--all with an innovative feature set that allows for effortless one-person operation, even when measuring walking-out distances.

The DLR165K is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
DLR165K, one soft case with belt loop, hand strap, and four 1.5-volt 'AAA' batteries.

Great device
 
Review Date: February 2, 2008
Reviewer: busrey, Raleigh, NC
I do trim carpentry and build cabinets and needed something to give me fast accurate measurements for doing crown moldings and the Bosch delivered. It comes with a handy case that you can hang on your belt keeping it in reach. I use it 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. It 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 its 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 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 device to all my friends who do a lot of measurements on their job.
