Bosch should be writing me a check! (you listening Bosch?) Anywho, I bought one of the best lasers I could find at a big box store by the rated accuracy, which was I believe +/- 1/8" at 100ft. I figured it would get me by. However, I decided I better actually check the accuracy before putting it on some important work. Under actual test, that laser just left me stunned! It was about +/- 1/8" at 450ft!
The accuracy is tested by letting the unit level, shoot something in at distance, then without disturbing the tripod, rotate the laser and reset and shoot again. I did 3-4 rotations and back to original position.
The pros here might be that Bosch is looking to become a serious pro level contender for laser products, and that level is super simple to use. However, I will say it does not have a rechargeable pack, has an anemic grade pole with limited height, and does not appear to be build for rough handling on a job site. However, if you are throwing around precision instruments, you will have issues with anything you buy.
Just my opinion, but seems Bosch has some things figured out with lasers and much cheaper than the pro solutions AND this level even has vertical plumbing ability! It has both the vertical center point when shooting horizontal, and can be put on its side for vertical plumbing of walls and such.
