When you’re building (or renovating) a project, and especially if your project is a DIY home improvement effort, you need pinpoint accuracy — it’s no longer an added bonus. Sure, tape measures have their place, but more and more digital laser measures are the go-to tool for those who want to get it right without the fuss.
Meet the Bosch GLM 50-23 — one of the smaller siblings in a crowded landscape of laser measuring devices, yet it carries a lot of swagger that makes measuring fun and easy.
Design and Build Quality
The Bosch GLM 50-23 finds the perfect intersection of toughness and portability, with a rubber case for impact resistance and better grip. This meter is so small it can fit in your pocket, or attach to your tool belt, but don’t let the small size fool you — it’s easy to read, even if there isn’t much light
Key Features
- High level of accuracy: Offers real-time, 1/16 inch accurate measurements.
- Multiple Measurement Modes: Single measurement, area measurement, volume measurement and Pythagoras measurement for automatic height and distance calculation.
- Display: High-resolution backlit screen with non-reflective display for comfortable reading in bright light.
- More Durable and Waterproof: IP65 dust-tight and waterproof and built for harsh environments.
- Memory: Can store and recall up to 10 readings without relying on a pen or paper.
Ease of Use
The Bosch GLM 50-23 earns our top spot for its incredibly simple, user-friendly interface that allows the user to easily change modes. The ‘always measure’ option is a nice touch — it makes it easier to capture the same distance multiple times in a row without letting go and starting over.
Who Is It For?
- Contractors & Developers: Ideal for contractors and developers who need accurate field survey measurements.
- DIY Lovers: Provides pro-style precision for furniture assembly or weekend home improvements.

Final Verdict

It’s not the longest-range or most wirelessly integrated, but it’s more than accurate enough for most contractors, tradespeople and DIYers who really just want accuracy with no bells or whistles.
Laser precision, made easy.
