Found this and purchased for my husband for Christmas - no more measuring tapes for home renovations!
Seems a pretty good price for Bosch stock, 50m laser measure. Can be adjusted from feet to metres (metric) for Aussie use. For the same price you'd get a cheaper 20m one at Bunnings. Total Tools also stocks Bosch but they are $140 for 40m laser measure.

From the link:
Description
The Bosch blaze one GLM165-10 165 ft. Laser measure features auto square, which automatically calculates the square footage Totals with a push of a button.

    We just had a kitchen designer come around yesterday that had one of these. Seemed pretty awesome.
    He reckoned every home owner should own one…

    • lplau on 03/12/2018 - 10:21

      tempted to get one. but not sure how much i would use it. haha….. what is the original price?

        I had it in my Amazon shopping list and was $104 until today

        "Hey Honey, did you know this closet is 3 square meters?"
        "Hey Honey, did you know this hallway is 10.34m long?"

        So much use!

    • Tregetour on 03/12/2018 - 10:54

      hey there, do you know if he was able to convert it to metric measurements by any chance?

    foot? what century is this!
    Can we change that to 50m?

  • hsvprez on 03/12/2018 - 10:39

    I'm interested but either have to pay $11 postage or to get Amazon prime ongoing membership to enable the 'free' (cough cough) shipping I have to pay $84 per year (USD?). Is there any special promos that people know about to get a better Amazon membership?

      • hsvprez on 03/12/2018 - 11:54

        Cheers thanks for that link. Much appreciated.

      Here in Australia, Amazon Prime will cost $6.99 per month, or $54 per year for a membership. As an introductory offer, up until 31 January 2019, Amazon Prime membership in Australia will only cost $4.99 per month.

      It easily pays for itself, even with pretty much one purchase per month.

        Oh I calculated the $6.99 x 12 coming to get my figure. Didn't realize there was an annual discounted rate. Thanks for the update. Sounds a bit more palatable. Cheers.

    For those who are thinking to replace the old tape measure with this digital measure - DON'T. There are situations this digital measure does/can not work.

      Could you elaborate bit more on that?

      • Cletus vandamme on 03/12/2018 - 11:42

        Not so great outdoors. This of it as a supplement to a tape measure not a replacement.

      • Quarn on 03/12/2018 - 11:47
        +1

        Correct, the laser has to hit a surface to measure distance. Not ideal if you want to measure the top of a door to the bottom (not floor) for example.

      • xmail on 03/12/2018 - 11:58
        +1

        Situations where there are no opposing walls, for starters.
        Also if the wall isn't perfectly flat and perpendicular, you can get a measurement at an angle which can be quite a bit longer.

    • raymosaurus on 03/12/2018 - 11:41

      I agree, mostly.

      I'm a tradie and I know that laser distance measurers are not a complete replacement for tape measures, however they can get highly accurate measurements for at least 90% of the time I need to measure something, and they do it much quicker especially for long measurements.

      I have the DeWalt pocket laser ($31 at Bunnings) which is about the size of a match box, and I much prefer to use it for longer measurements ie 4 or 5 metres, rather than running the tape out along the floor or worse, along the wall with or without assistance.

      • OBH on 03/12/2018 - 12:52

        For home use/DIY would you recommend this or your cheaper DeWalt one?

        • tangcla on 03/12/2018 - 13:04
          +1

          I found the Dewalt one inaccurate (by 1-2cm at 80cm length). I'm not sure if I got a dud.
          Or, maybe my tape measure is wrong. :)

          • raymosaurus on 04/12/2018 - 03:18

            @tangcla: tangcla, must be a dud. Shouldn't be as inaccurate as 10mm at 800mm.

        • raymosaurus on 04/12/2018 - 03:12

          For home/diy use I'd certainly recommend the DeWalt pocket laser over anything more expensive and/or bigger, unless you need real-time measuring. It's a ripper of a little thing. My unit reads distances as being about 6mm over actual distance, which is consistent be it 1 metre or 4 metres, so I can keep that in mind if it really matters, but gee, 6mm rarely makes a difference especially for diy use like picture hanging for example.

          I chose this unit for it's size. I already have a lot of things in my pockets and in my toolbox. Smaller units are more practical to use and carry.

      New iPhones have a laser in them?

      • ChickenAdobo on 03/12/2018 - 12:05

        They use AR to calculate it.

      • hopper on 03/12/2018 - 12:05

        their camera has AI that can measure, it worked well when i tried it.

          And how accurate is it! You may as well measure with a potato because it will be as accurate as the iPhone.

          It doesn’t work well at all.

      iphone measuring is highly inaccurate in its current state, great little gimmick but no use for DIY/Professionals

      it's kind of for me too..he insists on wanting to self measure and install plantation shutters so I think this device will save my sanity and our bank balance as trying to measure with a tape is a bit sketchy!

  • AlGC on 03/12/2018 - 12:59

    Thanks OP
    I often have to do site plans & draw them up in Vectorworks.
    Have used the next model down that my work got from Bunnings & it’s been reliable, although limited to 20m. This one will be great with the longer range.
    I’m already with Amazon Prime, so this price is a steal.
    Cheers. :-)

  • pegasusx on 03/12/2018 - 13:07

    Just bit of realworld feedback about this model. I used it for about 4 months on site and other than the good accuracy, I found it lacking and bought a P7 meter from Suaoki. Much better with the features it provides and build quality.

    Niggles I had with the Blaze One

    -Screen doesn't rotate when its horizontal. You have to tilt your head.
    -LCD viewing angle is terrible. When its about 50-60^ the contrast of the text begins to fade to blacklight.
    -Has a splash proof /dust rating IP54. Which I doubt as the flimsy battery door isnt sealed.

    • corbz on 03/12/2018 - 13:32

      difference?

      • 911r on 03/12/2018 - 14:51

        has a few extra features like addition/subtraction, area, volume etc. I went with the GLM35. Seems like it has some handy features.

  • kindra on 03/12/2018 - 13:36

    Got one of these for work. They work great indoors but outside it does not work at all.

    Edit: ahh wait, mines a different model so not sure how this will function outside.

  • garage sale on 03/12/2018 - 14:35

    there are lots of laser tapes around . decide what distances you need , and some have a spirit level function so they can also measure angles and inclinations.

    I had to measure distance from power pole to meter box on new power upgrade / install which was longer then 40M, heck even inner city backyard can easily be 30M,

    indoors not such a big issue, few people would have home 40M long inside.

  • Cluster on 03/12/2018 - 16:20

    Blaze One Laser? Can this start fires too?

  • ER-1 on 03/12/2018 - 17:00

    If it is us stock, does it only display in ft ?

    Any option to change it to meters or cm ?

  • Chun the Unavoidable on 03/12/2018 - 18:41

    if you own an android phone, this has been handy tool for me CamToPlan.
    I dare say the Bosch unit is acurate but a backup never hurts.
