Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Carry on measuring up to 25 metres from where the tape measure stops
The PLR 25 Laser Rangefinder’s state-of-the-art laser technology provides measurements with ultimate precision and reliability--because nothing is more precise than measuring with a laser.
The PLR 25 Laser Rangefinder’s state-of-the-art laser technology provides measurements with ultimate precision and reliability--because nothing is more precise than measuring with a laser.
 | Accurate laser measurement with the PLR 25 You can count on the most precise measurement using the PLR 25. Laser measuring with the PLR 25 gives accuracy of two millimetres--regardless of distance. In comparison, tapered measurement using ultrasonic technology can provide false measurements due to obstructions, and typical measuring accuracy is only 50 millimetres over 10 metres. |
| The Bosch PLR 25 Laser Rangefinder calculates length, area and volume, with precise measurement of distances up to 25 metres. |  |
 | Features of the PLR 25 Tedious measurement of distances using a folding rule or tape measure, and inaccurate measurement results from ultrasonic measuring instruments are all now a thing of the past. The Bosch PLR 25 Laser Rangefinder measures distances up to 25 metres at the push of a button in a matters of seconds, with an accuracy of two millimetres. You can also use this data to calculate areas and volumes. And with dimensions of only 100 x 55 x 25 millimetres, the PLR 25 fits into any pocket, so it’s always to hand when you’re working. |
| Easy to operate The Bosch PLR 25 is easy and intuitive to operate. It has only a few control buttons with self-explanatory symbols printed on them, e.g. for distance, area or volume. The do-it-yourselfer can add, subtract or simply store measurement results at the push of a button. The results can be viewed at a glance on the large LCD display. The continuous measurement function is an added, great feature if, for example, you want to hang pictures or position heavy furniture. It displays the current heights or distances to the wall while the user is moving the Bosch PLR 25. The Bosch PLR 25 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor measurements. |  Features of the PLR 25 View larger |
| Digital Measuring Tools from Bosch Digital measuring tools from Bosch impress with precision and extremely easy operation--whether when levelling objects, measuring distances or detecting all different kinds of materials and power cables. |

This handy laser measure comes with batteries and a belt pouch for protection. It's a small study box but it doesn't feel like it would cope with too many whacks. It is an optical measuring tool after all.
It's incredibly easy to use and a quick run through of the manual is all that's required to make sense of the unfamiliar labels on the buttons.
One of those buttons allows measuring from the bottom of the device or from the front and the display clearly indicates which mode you're in.
You can measure just a strait distance, but it will also calculate areas and volumes, with the display flashing which distance it expects next.
There is also a continuous measuring mode, useful I suppose if someone is moving the target backwards and forwards to get it in the right place. It doesn't update that quickly though, more a series of snapshots than continuous.
The laser beam is quite bright and easy to direct onto the distant surface. Once it's in the place you want press the button again and there's an audible click to let you know the reading has been taken.
I did think about taking a star off for the price, but then thought that a little churlish as this is the first one I've seen down to consumer prices. The number of times it's going to get used will soon pay for itself in saved time in measuring and accuracy.
And Bosch, if you're listening, I'd like to suggest three improvements for the next version.
1. A spirit bubble would be nice. Not every surface you set the device on will be level or perfectly upright. Or even better an electronic tilt system (smartphone style) with beeps when it's not level.
2. A louder audible beep rather than a soft click to announce measurement would be nice.
3. A wrist strap. Holding the device up the top of a ladder and it slipping from your hand as you maneuver it into the right position and feel for the button is a distinct possibility and I don't think this device will bounce well.
4. Fill the device with resin to encase the workings, so it might survive being dropped easier.
This is a great new tool and no doubt as prices fall over the next few years they'll be a common sight in every DIY'ers tool box.

I bought this item for my son who is a civil engineering student. I thought it would be useful when surveying. I was attracted by the Bosch name as they have a good reputation. Also there was a good video on the Amazon web site so I knew exactly what I was getting. We weren't disappointed. It's a really useful tool and it's got a very chunky, hardy feel to it. The batteries were included.

Very handy product for measuring rooms, quick and easy to use.
As it was my first laser measurer I double checked the accuracy (up to 5 meters) with a tape measurer and it was always spot on.

Perfect tool for surveys of rooms & lofts, & for giving quick & accurate quotes. Works outdoors as long as you have a clear target ;-) 25m is great for most domestic-sized jobs. Read more

An excellent tool

Fine but limited
This measure does what it says on the tin but is not too much use outdoors - in bright conditions it is almost impossible to see what the laser is pointed at. Read more

Get batteries
when you buy this item ensure you buy new batteries as the ones supplied do not last more than 5 minutes, so dont get caught out.

Good at its job
This is a good measure and well worth the relatively modest price. It's easy to use and accurate and screen is large for those with less than perfect eyesight. Read more
