Bosch have released two exciting new developments in their IMT (intelligent measuring tool) range: the GCL 25 Combi Laser and the GSL 2 Floor Surface Laser.

The GCL 25 combi laser is an incredibly useful and versatile tool, ideal for all short-distance levelling and transfer jobs. With cross line laser functionality for straight lines and five-point laser functionality for transferring right angles, this clever little tool is a real space-saver. Not only is it compact and highly accurate, but it still manages to be robust thanks to the IP54 protection and also really easy to use. There are three purchasing options available – tool only, tool with tripod, and tool with wall bracket and L-Boxx – making this an excellent addition to any kit!

The GSL 2 floor laser in action

The really interesting addition however is the GSL 2 – the world’s first floor surface laser. Checking that floors are level can be a real chore, but it no longer needs to be such a pain thanks to this quick and easy to use tool. The process is simple:

1. Set up the instrument in the middle of the floor you wish to measure
2. Set the height so that the two lines merge together to become a single line, then begin rotating the laser
3. Where the single line becomes two lines, you know that you have a depression or elevation
4. Place the target over the centre of the diverged lines to discover whether it is an elevation or depression and measure the depth
5. Make it level!

It’s just that simple. With the motorised version you don’t even need to get down on the floor and move it manually – it can be remote controlled! This laser is precise, offers complete 360 degree coverage, and is IP54 protected for ultimate robustness. The Bosch GSL 2, both the motorised and manual versions, will be a real time saver for site managers, surveyors and anybody in the flooring trades.
