Hoping to get some help here – I just bought a Laser Measure – Bosch Blaze GLM165-27CG and so far I’m super disappointed. I’m trying to figure out how to measure objects like furniture or tables and I can’t seem to figure out a way to measure objects.

 

Are laser measures simply not designed to measure objects or am I doing something wrong? I’ve spent a couple hours of research and am still at a loss. Seems like these tools are great for measuring room sizes but when it comes to measuring a TV, a table, a couch or something similar I’m clueless.

 

Does anyone have any tips on how to measure things like this? Genuinely appreciate any help or advice!

I use my GLM50C to measure rooms for my residential design business.  For furniture, you may have to use the included cards on the edge of the item so the laser can determine where to measure to.
