The Bosch PCL 10 laser level, despite its small functionality, will certainly be of interest to a fairly large number of people who want to buy it for their tool kit. It is very easy to apply and operate. Due to the fact that it is intended for marking with cross lines (one horizontal, the other vertical), it is primarily a finishing tool.
Given the short distance that the laser level beams reach, this tool is not advisable to use in construction, especially large buildings and structures, but when finishing small rooms like apartments or individual rooms, it will be quite enough. With the help of the Bosch PCL 10 laser level, you can mark when laying floors, installing partitions, installing windows and doors, laying wiring, and various other works during the repair or decoration of premises.

By the way, in the field of marking tools, laser levels and laser levels are so similar in their characteristics that they are more and more often called simply laser levels. But back to the subject of our article.
The Bosch PCL 10 laser level can not only build a horizontal plane, but also, importantly, a vertical plumb line. In this case, the line is built immediately on the surface of the wall. The described laser level has a special compensator, which provides automatic alignment of the horizontal plane. That is, as soon as you turn on the level, you can immediately work with it.
The body of the level is moisture and dust resistant and is made of durable plastic. It will endure small bumps and drops without loss of performance. Accordingly, protection against howling and moisture is very important so that the tool does not quickly fail. On the case there are special soft slips from rubber. They are very important in the first place during work in the summer, when the room is very hot. In sweaty hands, the level will not slip and slip.
The level measurement error is quite large: 0.6 mm - 2 mm per meter of the measured distance, which is quite acceptable for a device of this level and price range. For the interior of the apartment, this is quite enough. The wavelength of the laser beam BOSCH PCL 10 635 nm. The beam in the instrument is red with a slightly yellowish tint. The tool has a special indicator. If it is red, then the level is in the wrong position, but if it is green, you can markup.

In order for the BOSCH PCL 10 laser level to be conveniently installed at a certain distance from the floor surface, a special tripod mount is provided. More precisely, on the body of the level itself there is a threaded connection for a standard tripod, for example, a photo.
