Had one for years, all my guys made fun of it till they need it, They are great

That device was originally made by Chicago Steel Tape Company. In 2008 Bosch bought the company. We Sold them to carpet installers, realtors, insurance appraisers. The level is something new. Great improvement.

[@benc2947]

I do trim work for a living. I have this model and use it every single day. The best feature is Bluetooth to your phone. You can go in take an entire cut list of measurements head out to your saw and everything is there for you and it’s exact. No wondering if the cut needs to be fat or thin.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I have to admit that I have not seen one before but now that you showed it I have to have one! Thanks! :)

[@johnhodge2788]

Working by myself most of the time. Have loved mine.

[@jamesjamesd9556]

Real estate and apartment leasing agents love those Bosch units for getting accurate descriptions of properties and planning for staging furnishings, etc. Good impulse buy, Mike. 👍🏼

[@mikeparmley381]

Former insurance adjuster used to use them to sketch out rooms. Bought my first one in 2005 or so.

Great little accurate & time saving lazer device. Love that copper color in the bathroom!! Great video!

My husband uses it for measuring house's as an appraiser. Invaluable.....for him and such a time saver.

[@Charles-pu1tx]

Nice shop bldg. Laser tool is amazing, very much worth the $. Thanks for update. Great to have projects when the weather is - well , winter time. Cant wait till spring and summer weather and all the equipment gets used. Sawmill, splitter, dirt work, forest work, it all is fun to watch. Some folks can live that experience through your videos, even though they would never have that chance in their life otherwise. Great property in Virginia also. Love it. Great content.

[@dougyurecko6500]

The building is looking great.

[@jackalopasaurus]

I've always wanted one of these. I measure the square footage of homes a lot, and it can be quite challenging in a basement loaded with stuff.

[@slip0n0fall]

Nearly all but the most basic models will easily calculate room area for you.

[@charlesperry1051]

I have had a Bosch laser measuring device for several years. Very handy. For many years I managed my companies real estate, both owned and leased. That thing was extremely helpful when evaluating property.

Good afternoon & God bless you all

[@donwilliams169]

That's the most accurate when I've ever seen. Thank you Mike I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Stay safe

[@davidrush8283]

7:40 you said something that made me think of this song. "Let It Snow" was written during a heatwave. Lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne had to use their imaginations when writing "Let It Snow." The two were struggling to endure one of the hottest days on record in Southern California in July 1945. May be one more thing we did not know.

[@davidkillmeyer9063]

I’ve had one of those Bosch laser measuring devices for around 12 years and is never let me down.

I also recently learned about these. A guy came to my house to bid some new flooring, measured every room of the house and was in and out in 10 minutes. Now I want one LOL

[@bama4346]

Just a suggestion for the future cabin in W. Va. I don't know if you plan to have a wood burner with a electric fan (least expensive without a electric fan), but I would suggest a induction heat powered fan for your stove. It wood (pun intended) save on power coming from your generator and the fan will distribute the heat very well for a small cabin. And lastly, it would be a great back up in case of a power outage for your wood burner at the shop/rec building. Cost on Amazon $20-$60 dollars.

[@davidhaskins9457]

Thanks for the building tour, looks like everything is coming along nicely, everything you guys do is either a money maker or saver great having home businesses no rush hour traffic,love you guys

[@gregwertheim3970]

The Bosch laser measure is $99 at our Lowes in CT. Marked down from $149. I’ve had a Dewalt I purchased years ago that is surprisingly accurate but doesn’t have the range or the features of this Bosch. The product description says it’s Bluetooth as well and will connect to their app on your phone.

[@jimstine7543]

Wow Mike this is like play day. I can see how it could be a useful tool like you said. The building is looking good 👍 also.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Mike 🇺🇸

[@MikeZMonroe]

Suggestion …. Wood platform next to bagging machine. Steps up to platform. Platform large and sturdy enough to hold a container with chips. Elevate your container high enough where you can feed hopper easily without bending over to scoop out. Possibly a shoot directly into bagging hopper. Similar to grain handling farms use to transfer grain.

[@burncon2]

Yours is newer/better than mine. Time to upgrade. I use it A LOT.

[@jimconnor8274]

That is a nifty must have Man gadget! Thanks for the tip.

[@Spinonemaster]

As a high end finish carpenter for 40 years I've had a lot of measuring tools/tapes ... but these lasers have been a boom to both framing and finish work ... I remember buying my first Stanley Laser Plumb Bob ... sure did make my job easier and faster when working alone .... love seeing the building coming together ... non builders just have no idea how much work and planning that goes into a properly built structure ... especially when you are doing it yourself ... 30 years ago I got hired to do a door/finish job with the builders carpenter, met him at the job site and he pulled out a big sledge hammer with his 6 foot level ... I asked him what the sledge hammer was for ... he smiled and said "I know the idiots who framed this place" .... Big 3 story McMansion ... we spent the first 1/2 day cutting sills and banging walls and door/window RO's into place ... there's an old saying in building that a good framers is worth 3 finish carpenters if he's really good

[@houstonshores9744]

I started building houses when i was 17, went to a vo-tech to learn the 2 year schooling the first year you had to use all hand tools no nail guns. I remember some framers that would eyeball the walls for plumb and when the sheetrocker came in they had to cut 3" off a side for the sheet to fit.

[@chesterlauck734]

Don't forget the say "caulk and paint, make a carpenter what he ain't"

[@Spinonemaster]

I learned the building trade from my New England (VT) relatives who had been building for generations ... their pride was obvious ... one guy up on scaffold/ladder measuring, calling down to the guy cutting wood/trim ... he'd call down to the guy in a calm voice ... "It want's to be 95 and an 1/8" ... respect, as if nature and the space know things

[@janettutor1120]

Hey Mike, show Archie the laser light. May be better than a stick. Our dog loves chasing it, goes wild every time I go to the tool box to get something.

[@steveashworth6707]

That measuring beam is pretty neat, I dont know how many times my tape measure would collapse extending it out to measure something standing on a ladder!. Morgans good day!.

[@jackcox5337]

I have one. It is awesome. Use it all the time. You will love it, especially on your property, measuring tree height and how far across a draw. Lots of stuff.

[@ronallen6578]

Mike, I've had my Bosch laser tape for years. I bought this at Lowe's years ago. Didn't need it, but I though it would be neat to have. Yes, it is accurate and I have not had any problems in all the time I've owned it. Bosch tools have always been good quality in my opinion. I'm sure you know the following, but on those long boards if you add a 1/16 or maybe 3/32" to the measurement and bow it out, snap it in as you install it you will get a nice tight joint. Feel silly telling you this, but maybe a viewer watching doesn't know to do this. Anyhow, keep up the videos and congratulations on the purchase of the packing machine. I'm sure you'll use it quite a bit. Have a good weekend, Ron

[@thomasstrout1738]

Been using a similar Bosch laser tool since 2008 and they work well. We had rented an 80,000 square foot building and were tracking roof deflection/snow load. I had several marked locations on the floor and would project the beam up to a marked point on the truss joist. We tracked deflection until the extreme snow load melted.

[@jphickory522]

Good idea

[@evanjohnson3578]

Thanks for the info and demonstration , I’ve always been interested in this laser measuring device but never knew how accurate they really are , thanks

[@michaelfreehling1914]

They also make a cool toy to play with the cats. Mine will chase that red all over the place. What a hoot

[@nathanchilcott6723]

Hi Mike I use my Electronic measurer for measuring Kitchen, Bathroom & bed - rooms to design. Then use a measure tape to measure the windows doors & parts of walls etc. I wouldn’t be without it.

[@jimpat1977]

Dont fill bad i just bought Bosch laser this year and Ive been a general contractor for 25 years a carpenter for 45 years never stop learning thats why i love carpentry . Thanks for the good video

[@Michael-sx6zq]

It looks like those lasers have come a long way. One thing to keep in mind with a laser or stud finder or anything with a battery is make sure the battery is good when using. I found this out with a multi meter with a low battery. The numbers I was getting were way off and I thought because it turned on it appeared to be working correctly. I changed the battery and all made good sense again. Good luck.

[@madsciencegary3830]

Love the way your building is coming out. Great imagination for your style, and great execution.

When you put that plywood up for the license plates you will be preserving your shoe prints forever. You are making steady progress.

[@RideTheSlide]

Thank you for not sealing the fire starter bags! The old school twist tie is brilliant!

[@probuilder961]

I love my Bosch laser. Had it for about 8 years. I use for general room sizes & measuring Crown molding, even for measuring gutters. It's accurate to 1/16".

[@hellogoodbye3129]

I use this green one, just remember that you have to add the gross length to the displayed length. This model gets a little squirrelly around 50ft with high humidity or dust. It measures your drainage pitch, roof pitch, and for me, wall pitch. As a restoration Mason you can't actually touch the walls if they are really bad. And getting a tape measure out around power lines is always a bad idea. Thanks Mike!

[@gtuttle4]

I have one of those and love it! It helps so much when you are working by yourself which is all the time!

That's a good price! Been wanting one for a while. Just ordered and FREE shipping too 👍 Thanks Mike!!! Lowes owes you a commission 😁

[@steveweaver7820]

The laser will bounce off liquid surfaces too! More than 20 years ago, we used them to measure the level in liquid tanks rather than dip sticks. With fine chemicals, contamination by dip stick was a real possibility.

[@seanworkman431]

I knew about them but haven't bought one yet. I want one with a good range for outdoor use, fencing, pipe laying, etc. Good progress on the building.

[@TroySR71]

I have one made by them as well. Not with all the bells and whistles that yours has, but I like it a lot. Bought it about 5 years ago when I was remodeling a bedroom for the same reasons you showed in your video. I think I paid around $20 - $30 bucks for it back then. Mine is the BOSCH GLM20 Blaze 65ft Laser Distance Measure With Real Time Measuring. It's $39.97 on Amazon today. I bought mine at Home Depot and have no regrets.

[@earlkarow1342]

That Bosch is great for estimates , Measuring by yourself for paneling like you're doing and also layouts for footings and checking square cross corners

[@bobblossom2713]

As an Archihtect, I used my Bosch laser measure to make as-builts of a house, room by room. Much faster than with only a tape measure.

[@jameswalker9244]

I just got one a few months back. They are fantastic for finding ft² for flooring. My 3 year old also loves playing with it.

[@georgecoffman377]

Yes I’ve got one and for a one person job they are great. I’ve even got one for my son-in-law and he wasn’t to impressed at first but after he started working with it now he uses it all the time.

[@johnsadler8637]

Good morning! My sister and husband gave me one for Christmas 10-15 years ago, with much less programmability and less accuracy. It’s the same design as yours - measure from the base to the laser dot. It reads feet and inches, so is good for estimates but not cutting boards to length. He used it to estimate scale for renovation projects. I use it when there’s no one around to help hold or there’d be multiple tape placements.

[@fryklundstfr]

This measuring tool will be an absolute must to have when adding those strange things as feet and inches togheter, or dividing it in half... Really confusing with manual tapes, and risk for error must be high.

[@AroundTheYard-MN]

I have had the older model of that for years. Has worked great on site investigations over the years. Excellent on large roofs where you are locating roof top equipment, drains, and piping. Glad you found a new tool that is handy to have. Speaking of tools, if you haven’t tried the KREG Jig system, that should be your next purchase. Enjoy your day Around the Yard!

Great review, you have done a fantastic job Mike

[@dog01b52]

Years ago I had a digital measuring device, it used ultrasonic to measure. It looked like a TV remote, I guess you would call it an ultrasonic measuring tape. This device would measure the length, and you could hit one of the buttons, then it would measure the square footage if you needed to put carpet in an area. It was fascinating, but my truck got stolen and now someone else has it.
