Bosch has raised the standard again with the release of two high-performance lasers built for precision, visibility, and connectivity on demanding jobsites. The Bosch Power Tools 12V Leveling and Alignment Laser (GLL330-42CGL) and the Bosch Power Tools 12V Max Green-Beam Crossline Laser (GCL165-82CGL) offers professionals the features they need to work faster, smarter, and more accurately.
GLL330-42CGL:
Full 360° Coverage and Maximum Versatility
The Bosch GLL330-42CGL delivers comprehensive 360-degree visibility with one horizontal and two vertical green-beam laser lines. This all-in-one layout tool allows users to align, level, and square from a single setup point—streamlining the workflow across the jobsite.
Green-beam laser lines on this model are up to four times brighter than standard red lasers, which gives crews better visibility in both indoor and outdoor environments. The VisiMax technology constantly monitors power consumption and operating temperature to optimize line visibility while preserving battery life.
Built for Harsh Jobsites
Bosch engineered the GLL330-42CGL to handle tough conditions. The tool includes a full rubber overmold and roll-cage-inspired frame, which protects key components from impacts. It also carries an IP65 rating, so it resists water and dust intrusion, even during heavy-duty use.
The included 12V Max lithium-ion battery provides ample runtime, and for added flexibility, users can also operate the tool with AA batteries using the supplied adapter. With the rubber grip base, professionals get a secure hold and stable setup, even in rugged environments.
Smart Features and Extended Range
The Bluetooth connectivity feature allows users to control brightness settings, activate power-saving mode, and operate the laser remotely via the Bosch Leveling Remote App. This function saves time and reduces the need to cross the workspace for adjustments.
The tool achieves a working range of up to 100 feet with 1/8-inch accuracy at 30 feet. When paired with the Bosch LR8 receiver (sold separately), users can extend the laser’s range to 330 feet, ideal for larger commercial applications.
The Smart Pendulum System self-levels within ±4 degrees and locks when powered off to protect internal components during transport. Installers can easily position the tool using the magnetic L-bracket, or mount it securely with either ¼-inch or 5/8-inch threading.
GCL165-82CGL:
Precision in a Compact Form
The Bosch GCL165-82CGL provides exceptional performance in a smaller footprint. It projects highly visible green cross lines along with two plumb points, ideal for vertical alignment applications such as framing, tiling, cabinetry, and drop ceiling installation.
This laser offers up to 125 feet of working range and delivers 1/8-inch accuracy at 30 feet. With a compatible receiver (sold separately), the range expands to 330 feet, giving users reliable performance even on larger job sites.
Enhanced Usability and Brightness
Bosch designed the U-shaped laser outlet window to maximize the laser’s horizontal coverage. The built-in fine adjustment knob with pivot rotation helps users make micro-adjustments while staying centered on the plumb point. This feature ensures point-to-point accuracy without the need to reposition the tool.
Like the GLL330-42CGL, this model includes VisiMax™ technology, which maintains optimal beam brightness while extending battery life and protecting the tool’s internal systems. The tool also supports Bluetooth® operation via the Bosch Leveling Remote App, letting users control functions from across the room.
Rugged Construction and Long Runtime
Bosch built the GCL165-82CGL for durability. It features the same IP65 water- and dust-resistance rating, along with full rubber overmold housing for impact protection. The tool runs on the included 12V Max battery and supports AA batteries for added convenience.
Professionals can expect up to 8 hours of runtime on a single battery charge, which ensures all-day productivity without frequent interruptions.
Why These Bosch Lasers Stand Out
Both the GLL330-42CGL and GCL165-82CGL represent Bosch’s dedication to advancing laser layout tools with modern, jobsite-ready technology. Whether you need complete 360-degree coverage or a compact laser with precise plumb points, these tools deliver performance, accuracy, and flexibility.
With green-beam technology, remote control capability, smart power management, and rugged durability, Bosch’s new laser lineup is a smart investment for professionals in construction, remodeling, MEP trades, and beyond.
