Best Laser Distance Meters of 2025

"I've found the BOSCH GLM100-23 laser measure to be incredibly easy to use. Just point and shoot, and I get precise measurements in seconds, which is especially useful for hard-to-reach areas."

"As someone who frequently works on home improvement projects, I appreciate the sturdy build quality of this device. Despite a few drops, it remains perfectly functional and reliable."

"I really like this Bosch laser measurement device. It works great on painted surfaces, although it struggles a bit with tile walls. It's a fantastic option for indoor measurements!"

"I wanted to measure distances between pilings for my boat slips, and this laser measure worked perfectly. It's accurate and easy to use, with a visible laser even at long distances, about 70-80 feet in daylight."

"As a self-proclaimed DIY enthusiast, I had to get this after seeing it in action during my garage door installation. I've only bench tested it so far, but I'm already impressed with the ease of use and accuracy when measuring throughout my house. I can't wait to put it to the test on my next project!"

"This tool has made taking quick measurements a breeze. I love that I can set the precision and store my last few results, which is much more convenient than using a regular tape measure or relying on memory!"

"I've seen some silly pricing for branded tools. I can't understand why. I've used this for a few years and bought several due to misplacing them. They're inexpensive and great for measuring larger areas, especially for foundations, and the built-in area calculations are super handy. The only thing I'd improve is the actuating button, which sometimes requires a strong press that moves the laser."

"After moving to a new house, this tool was essential for figuring out furniture placement. The quality is great too!"

"Since I got this tool, using it has been a breeze. The large readout makes measuring large areas so simple. I highly recommend it!"

"This tool is a nice simple device that measures from both the front and back. Its bright display and laser work well, even in bright conditions, although there can be a bit of glare in full sunlight. With only one button, it's essential to read the manual for adjustments. While I find it great for estimating materials and quick space mapping, for high precision tasks, I’d recommend a more accurate tool."

"I needed something accurate, portable, and affordable, and this unit did not disappoint. The convenient pocket clip and easy-to-read display are fantastic. I really appreciate the feature that shows my last three measurements; it's incredibly helpful. I would definitely recommend this product!"

"I found this device works well for measuring rooms or windows. Its ability to hold three readings is a great feature. The option to switch between feet and inches is beneficial, especially when visualizing measurements. However, while it claims 1/16" accuracy, I’ve noticed that holding it perfectly still can be tricky, which might lead me to still use a classic tape measure for precision tasks."

"As a construction project manager, I find the Bosch Blaze Pro GLM165-40 to be a game-changer for taking accurate measurements quickly in various spaces. Its ease of use and color backlit display make it a reliable choice, even in low light conditions. Plus, it's built to last through tough job site challenges."

"I purchased this for my husband, and it has proven to be perfect for his business. It makes measuring tasks much easier and significantly saves time."

"I appreciate the robust design of this unit. It’s incredibly easy to operate, and after testing it on my surround sound system, I achieved better speaker synchronization. I'm finding it invaluable for quickly measuring various items."

"As a custom cabinetry builder, this device is invaluable. I can quickly sketch a room in the Disto app, take measurements with the D2, and confidently transfer them into CAD. My installations are always precise, and the flip-tab for outside corner measurements is a brilliant addition."

"This is my second Leica Disto, and I’m just as pleased with this smaller, more compact version. It operates just as well as the first one."

"I recently needed to conduct a site survey, and this tool exceeded my expectations. It allowed me to take numerous measurements swiftly and accurately. The design is thoughtful with durable materials, and the Bluetooth function is a great bonus."

"I find this tool to be very convenient for measurements. I just place it in a corner and point to measure the distance. It's especially great for hard-to-reach areas. I verified its accuracy with a 30' measuring tape, and it performed well. Plus, it’s lightweight and affordable!"

"When I purchased this, I wasn't sure if I needed it, but it proved to be invaluable for my construction project. It worked perfectly, and surprisingly, it survived a few drops from my ladder without any issues!"

"While it has some good features, I do find it a bit cumbersome. Each time I turn it on, it defaults to meters, which is annoying. The interface is a bit complicated for the options it has, but I appreciate being able to save measurements."

"This instrument is a lifesaver! I purchased it to survey my new lot for construction planning. The lot has both flat sections and significant slopes, which made measuring difficult. However, I was able to measure everything, from the size and location of the house to setbacks and distances to lot edges. The indirect measurements were particularly impressive, and this tool is indispensable for surveying."

"I've been using this laser measure for two years now, and it works so fast that my team often struggles to keep up with the measurements I call out. I always carry it while traveling for work. The only downside is the battery life; it doesn't last all day, but it charges quickly during breaks."

"The BOSCH GLM400CL Blaze is a game-changer for precision measurements! The integrated camera captures everything I'm measuring, which is especially helpful in complex outdoor environments. The Bluetooth connectivity allows me to sync measurements directly to my phone, making data recording easy and efficient. The battery life is impressive, and the tool feels solid in my hand."

“I find this product to be an absolute game changer! I purchased it as a fun gadget for my husband, who is a contractor, and it quickly became an essential tool. I even bought another one for myself as a Realtor. This device makes measuring large interior spaces effortless and can calculate square footage, saving me so much time. I love being able to impress my clients by measuring without the hassle of traditional tape. My only issue is that I wish the instructions were clearer.”

“I absolutely love this little tool! I can't believe I struggled with a metallic tape measure for so long. This device is so straightforward: turn it on, place it at the starting point, and press the button. It even has leveler bubbles for accuracy. The instructions are clear, and using the memory function is a breeze. This has truly helped my tendonitis and arthritis. It's a godsend!”

“This product works as described, but I do find it a bit slow, taking about five seconds to measure. However, it’s a must-have for anyone's interior design needs! The precision is beyond expectations, especially for the price. It’s very handy and lightweight, making it a great buy.”

"I found the tool incredibly easy to use. The haptic feedback is a game changer, and the built-in level is useful for measuring sloped floors. However, the Lithium ion battery isn't reliable. I'll need to use AA batteries instead. Bosch should definitely improve this with a proper USB-C battery."

"Having used various laser measures, I can confidently say this is the best on the market. Its rugged build and flexibility in measuring are unmatched. The ability to measure height indirectly is invaluable! Even if the MeasureOn app isn't perfect, I'd still recommend this product without hesitation."

"I wasn't initially convinced about laser measures, but after using this one for various projects, I've found it to be quite handy and convenient. While it doesn't replace a tape measure in all situations, it has performed well in most cases. I do wish it could measure ceiling tiles from the floor, but overall, it’s a great tool."
