The DLR165K Digital Laser Range Finder Kit At a Glance: Precision laser measuring technology Pocket-sized; only four inches tall Measures length, area, and volume Four measuring reference points Three measurement modes 3-year limited warranty

Use Indirect Length Measurement Mode to calculate distances that cannot be measured directly due to obstruction. View larger.

Measuring only four inches tall, the DLR165K fits in your pocket.

Precision Laser Technology
Utilizing precision laser technology, the DLR165K takes length, area, and volume measurements that are accurate up to 1/16 inch. Whether you're trimming and scribing cabinets and counters or preparing to cut lumber, pipes, or conduit, you'll appreciate the DLR165K's fast measurement time of 0.5 to 4.0 seconds. You'll also love the easy-to-read digital display that shows all results in three units of measure: feet and inches, decimal feet, and metric.

4 Measuring Reference Points for Ease of Use
For further convenience, a single laser beam does both the pointing and the measuring. What's more, the DLR165K has four measuring reference points--back, front, swing-out extension pin for measuring from inside corners and channels, and center of tripod (sold separately). This means you can take several measurements simultaneously, without repositioning the unit. Also, a large range from two inches to 165 feet gives you the versatility you need to complete a variety of jobs.

3 Measurement Modes Offer Flexibility
Easier to use and more accurate than a tape measure, the DLR165K makes measuring a one-person job, even when walking off distances. In fact, its continuous-length mode automatically adjusts your measurement as you move forward, which means you won't waste time taking notes and repositioning the tool.

There's also an indirect measuring mode that calculates the distances that cannot be measured due to obstructions or lack of reflecting surfaces. Additionally, a continuous laser mode saves you time by reducing key strokes during rapid measurements.

World's Smallest Digital Range Finder
Measuring 4 x 2-15/16 x 1-1/4 inches, the DLR165K is the world's smallest digital range finder. You can easily fit it into your pocket, place it over your hand with the included hand strap, or hook its included carrying case on your belt loop. An added bonus, the DLR165K features an ergonomic soft grip area for a secure, comfortable hold.

One of Bosch's Most Innovative Measuring Tools
The DLR165K is part of Bosch's new line of compact, user-friendly, multipurpose measuring and layout tools. These tools are designed for optimum precision, so your project stays on course from start to finish. They level, align, measure, and detect--all with an innovative feature set that allows for effortless one-person operation, even when measuring walking-out distances.

The DLR165K is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Great device
I do trim carpentry and build cabinets and needed something to give me fast accurate measurements for doing crown moldings and the Bosch delivered. It comes with a handy case that you can hang on your belt keeping it in reach. I use it for any measurement that would require me to bend the tape and try to guess what the reading would be or where the distance makes it difficult to accurately do with tape measure. It also has the ability to do continuous reading allowing you to aim at an object and move yourself forward or backward until you are the desired distance from the target object.

A steady hand does help but the uses are endless due to its ability to read off its front edge, a tripod mount hole, off its back edge, or its extendable rod. It would be a good idea to make sure the tape measure you use for transferring the measurements matches the rangefinder before starting a job. The only negative I have discovered is that a measurement in feet and fractions of an inch are stored in memory and then redisplayed in decimal forcing me to then convert the number back into fractions. That said the display holds my measurement long enough for me to get my molding, measure, and make the cut before the display shuts off. I have recommended this device to all my friends who do a lot of measurements on their job.

I Love Bosch, but they should have gone the extra yard.
This is another well-built and extremely accurate tool from Bosch.

A bright and easy to locate laser highlights your target, and with another touch of the button will supply measurements accurate to within 1/16th of an inch at 165 feet CONSISTENTLY; I personally tested the unit before trusting the readings.

Internal math functions for area, volume and even calculating height from a distance are all built in to the unit and work effortlessly.

The unit is solid, light and very manageable.

Now for the BAD NEWS... it only has 3 measurement formats available: metric, feet w/ decimals, and feet and inches w/ fractions. My industry deals in inches w/ fractions such as, 100 7/8" - and the only two non-metric formats available from this unit would display this same measurement as either 8.4063' or 8' 4 7/8" and would then require conversion.

This inconvenience may or may not effect everyone; however, the price of this unit will defintely continue to turn every head. The other laser units with this accuracy and quality are all over double the price of the DLR165K, making this unit affordable, if not perfect.

I'm very happy with mine.

Excellent Product
I will use this tool in locating reference marks related to finding survey benchmarks outdoors. Based on an afternoon's testing, it appears to be effective to about 75 ft. in outside use, which makes it fine for me in typical situations (like measuring distances to reference marks like telephone poles across busy highways)

While I wait for the Dewalt targets I ordered to arrive, I tested it out on a standard size traffic cone wrapped with a couple of bands of 4" 3M-type reflective material. This makes the laser beam's dot MUCH easier to detect (looks like a flash of fire). The red-tinted Dewalt laser-enhancing glasses make it about 20% easier for me to detect the beam, although their shape makes them a bit awkward to wear over ordinary eyeglasses.

The beam reflected well off of dull fire hydrants and mid-bright telephone poles. It's swallowed up by black materials and whites that are too bright. Almost impossible to detect the beam in full sunlight (but something like the reflective traffic cone makes it possible).

The maximum "natural" range I was able to attain was about 110 ft., in dusk conditions, bouncing off a yellow-colored wall. Since there isn't really a sighting mechanism, it's hard to "hit" a target much smaller than 3'x3' at 100 ft. In addition to difficulty tracking the dot, it's hard at long distance to hold it on-target for the 2 sec. or so it takes to compute the range.
