The GLL2-50 Self-Leveling Crossline Laser At a Glance: Vertical, horizontal, and cross line modes Highly visible laser lines Smart pendulum leveling system Pulse laser receiver mode Includes WM1 positioning device, belt pouch, and carrying case 3-year limited warranty

The GLL2-50 features vertical, horizontal, and crossline modes.

Smart pendulum leveling system will sense and self-correct an out-of-level condition.

Line It Up with Precision
Whether you're a general contractor, homebuilder, installer, or do-it-yourselfer, you can depend on the GLL2-50's accuracy--up 1/4 inch at 100 feet. And to ensure accuracy every time, a smart pendulum leveling system senses and self corrects out-of-level condition up to four degrees, and it conveniently locks when the unit is switched off.

For further precision, the GLL2-50 features a WM1 Positioning Device with Microfine Height Adjustment. It also includes retractable feet, 1/4-20 and 5/8-11 tripod, strong magnet slots for screws or nails, and raceways for optional straps.

4 Laser Modes for Versatility on the Job
Offering vertical, horizontal, and crossline modes, the GLL2-50 projects two lines independently or together for a wide array of level and plumb applications. These highly visible laser lines have a wide horizontal angle of 130 degrees, a vertical fan angle of 160 degrees, and long lines that minimize the need to reposition the unit as you work.

And if you're measuring distances over 65 feet or working in bright light, a pulse laser receiver mode works with the optional LR2 Laser Receiver (sold separately) to better handle these conditions. With the LR2, you'll get a range of up to 165 feet.

Compact and Durable Crossline Laser Goes Where You Go
In addition to providing optimum accuracy, you can count on the GLL2-50 to save you time and effort. For starters, this unit is ultra-portable, weighing one pound with a height of just over four inches. Simply place it in your pocket or in the included belt pouch.

Built to last, the GLL2-50 has a robust over-molded housing and IP54 water- and dust-proof design. An easy-access battery compartment saves you time by making changes quick and easy.

The GLL2-50 is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Deal, April 2, 2010

I looked at a lot of different laser levels and read tons of info on them as well. I bought this one due to price point, features and brand name. I've had other Bosch tools and they have always been top notch in my opinion. This unit levels it's self very quick (1-2 seconds at the most). The laser is very bright and can be seen in brightly lit rooms. I have not tried it outside yet but I do have a living room that has nothing but windows and skylights and I can see it just fine in there. It's a little bigger than I had thought by the photos but it seems very well built and the stand it comes with is very versatile for different mounting options. It comes with a hard plastic case that holds everything and a belt pouch as well. It only needs 3 AA batteries to run which is nice. It is very accurate and consistent! That's the whole reason to buy one in the first place. It comes with a 3 yr warranty as well.

This review is from: Bosch GLL2-50 Self-Leveling Crossline Laser with Pulse (Tools & Home Improvement)

I just lost my Dewalt line laser and in a pinch I got this Bosch from Lowes. Its cheaper than other name brand ( ie, Dewalt, PLS, Hilti...). Its all good for general purpose use. But for precision carpentry work, this laser is not cut out for it. The projected lines with in 5 feet is nearly ¼ inch thick compared to my Dewalt at 1/8". I returned the unit the next day and spent $499 for a Germany made Stabila. It projects a 1/16 inch line @ 15 ft away.

I've got a few laser levels. This one by far is the best. Most useful, most robust, best mount, best case and best lines. The case and mount that came with it are far superior to the PLS laser I own. I did hit the PLS with a framing hatchet and it survived minus some body damage, so it gets some serious durability points. However, I'd be much less nervous to whack the Bosch with a hammer handle.

The ability to select horizontal or vertical or both is great.

The ability to lock the unit in horizontal or vertical while on makes setting handrails and plumbing type stuff way easier. It also helps when you need a reference across a room from an un-level source, say, an old existing ceiling in a remodel, or an existing sloped ceiling joist system, or setting directional speakers in a theater.

The beam is super bright. It is brighter than my PLS 90 layout laser by quite a bit.

The 'wrap up' feature is great for setting partition walls. Makes it much faster, accurate and easier than level and chalk line.

Wall blocking was a breeze. Especially on interior bathroom pressure treated walls that are wet (rains a lot in Seattle...). You think you can see your pencil marks, but you can't really. Rather than rolling up and leaving at 4pm when it gets dark during the winter time, or dragging out work lights that will blow your circuit breaker, point this at the wall and block away. Also lets you layout wall blocking level in a wall above a sloping or lumpy concrete floor rather than pulling a height on both ends and hoping it's somewhat level.

Best money Ive spent on a laser yet.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the laser had a little more internal dampening. As I was setting vaulted ceiling rafters to a beam valley on a custom home, I would climb up and down the ladder and the line would wobble a little. If you make your marks on the beam via the laser, then assemble, your fine. I like to leave the laser on as a 'live chalk line' as opposed to using the laser, pencil, mark, assemble method, so it was kinda annoying.

I didn't get the LR2 daytime receiver. I wish that was included as a whole kit instead of being a separate purchase. I also don't know why the LR2 is $200 when the GLL2-50 laser itself if barely over that price point. I've not needed the LR2 yet, but if you do a lot of outdoor work or siding, the LR2 receiver may be a necessary purchase. That drives the price to double, and makes the combo much less of a bargain. The tool itself, like most Bosch stuff, is great though.
