Bosch Professional Digital Inclinometer GIM 60 L (laser precision, measurement range: 0-360º, length: 60 cm)

I purchased this to aid with the construction of a concrete base for my home office. The instructions from the office manufacturer stated there could not be more than 10mm variance in the level and this was for a 7m x 4m structure. Not a lot of tolerance to get it wrong.This level made things so so much easier, and so much better than relying on a bubble. It is very, very sensitive and takes a few seconds to settle. Once it does you get increments of 0.1 of a degree, and when it gets close to perfect level, it shows 0.05. Upon hitting perfect 0 level, it gives an audible notification of perfect level being achieved. Very satisfying.It’s expensive but for the result it provided, it was worth every penny. The office structure installer said it was the most level concrete base he had seen in many years of doing installations - we could not have achieved that without this level.

Years of using standard levels (and occasionally a prism laser level when I could be bothered to get it out of the bag) and I thought this sort of thing was a gimmick.A chance use of one of these on site when erecting and aligning a steel frame building, and I liked it. So when the telehandler ran over my midsize level and turned it into a banana - I bought this.No regrets.Incredibly useful for rafters and purlins being able to set an angle and get audio feedback whilst fixing. Steel framing/furrings are made a breeze - with lining up across a building made easy with the integrated laser. It’s like having a 30 metre level!I rarely now use much else, and the case it comes in can be hung near where you are working to drop it into. I added a carabiner clip which can hook on my belt for ladder or platform work, or around a scaffold poles or any handy bit of structure!It’s tough, but you do have to treat it more as a finer instrument than a standard level.May not be for everyone, but I’ve levelled so much with this in just the last week, I would be reluctant to part with it.

Purchased this was work for when measuring and needing to find the degree of a slope.Have used degree finders in the past and been very skeptical, and even when I have checked how correct it is, it is always correct to within a degree of what I need.Do not even bother checking now as I trust it enough to be within tolerance.Good size and very handy carry and storage bag comes with it.Highly recommend.

This is a nice item of work equipment. The sound feature for level is perfect when testing multiple areas as allows a quick but still professional run through of the building. I have now purchased three items from the Bosch Professional range and all three have come at a sensible price and deliver the promised work, so a happy purchase and user.

This is a good level but it’s let down massively by the display, you can only veiw the readout if you are directly in front with your eyes level with it because it just vanishes. Come on Bosch this is not up to your usual high standards

Technology is everywhere and none more so than this Bosch Professional GIM60 Level. It also has a laser measure built in too. I do apologise, I’d better refer to it as a precise digital inclinometer, still a level though.The product is well made and although quite lightweight it feels reasonably robust.It is 60cm or just over 23.6” long and has a claimed accuracy of =/- 0.05 degrees between 0-90 degrees. It weighs 700g so it fairly lightweight and won’t strain your muscles using it one handed. There is also a tripod mount too.It has a large flippable lit display, can measure inclines from 0-360 degrees and is water resistant to IP54. In the box it comes with a comprehensive instruction manual and 4 batteries to get you going. Even though they are pretty cheap batteries it’s the thought that counts and you’ll be able to use the tool straight away. The battery compartment lid should be treated with kid gloves as this is probably the only bit that doesn’t feel as robust as the rest of the product.It will need to be calibrated before use and that is all in the instruction manual.Note that there is a laser measure in one end that will measure up to around 30M so it is quite versatile. For the luddites amongst you there is also the good old fashioned bubble level too.At 60cm long it is the little brother in the product line.Is it over engineered? It probably is, but if calibrated correctly it works extremely well.Is it expensive? Yes it is.Is it better than a standard level? Well that will depend on what you are used to using. I will say that you can measure inclines extremely accurately and to a very fine tolerance. If that is what you need then this might be for you.All in all a really good product if a little expensive, but if you need real accuracy it certainly does the job.

Always been a big fan of bosch and this level is a lovely bit of kit.

Robust, accurate, great piece of kit
