Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe’s all have the Bosch GLM100 laser distance measuring tool on sale ahead of Black Friday, as part of their holiday season tool deals.
This is a compact laser distance measuring tool with 100ft range and ±1/16″ accuracy, and it’s discounted to $40, its typical seasonal “special buy” price.
Bosch has been my go-to for laser distance measuring tools.

I bought a GLM100-23 around 2 years ago, and highly recommend it.
This is a compact and slim-featured model that handles 99% of my laser distance measuring tasks. It has been effortless and reliable to use.
I see the simplicity as a huge benefit – this is a laser distance measuring tool anyone can use – and you can always upgrade to more featured models if you need built-in calculations.
It’s powered by 2x AAA batteries, which are included.
Deal Price: $40
I’ve seen retailers selling this for $50 to $60 in between holiday shopping seasons.

For comparison, Dewalt’s Atomic series laser distance measuring tool (DW055PL via HD) is also $40 but has a range of just 55ft and accuracy of ±1/4″ at 32ft. Dewalt’s next-best laser distance measurer (DWHT77100 via HD) has a 100ft range, accuracy of 1/8″ at 32ft, and is priced at $90, which is more than double the price.

If you need longer measuring range or more features, such as built-in calculations, check out the GLM165-22. There’s also a green laser version, GLM165-25G.

Got one a few years back and it was great for the intended purpose.
Now my stray cats think it’s the best thing since canned tuna.

Good one, never thought about that.
Off I go to have a blast with 3 cats!
