The GLM 80 is portable laser distance measure that can also serve as an angle measure. It features a two-axis tilt sensor, which allows the GLM 80 to measure angles when held horizontally or vertically. The combination of the distance and angle measures enable the device to take indirect distance measurements that are normally inaccessible. The GLM 80 is powered by an integrated lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged by a standard micro USB cable. Bosch Power Tools; 877-267-2499; www.boschtools.com
