FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
<strong>Bosch</strong> Introduces Multi-Use <strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> Five-Point Laser with Cross-Line<br />
Tool offers value and innovation for short-distance leveling and transfer applications<br />
Mount Prospect, Ill., June 14, 2012 – <strong>Bosch</strong> is expanding the multi-use laser market with the launch of its new<br />
<strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> five-point self-leveling alignment laser with cross-line. Designed for tradesman who are in need of a more<br />
versatile and multi-functioning tool for daily use, the <strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> is the ultimate solution for all short-distance leveling<br />
and transfer applications.<br />
Equipped with a five point laser and a cross line laser in one tool, the <strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> saves time, money and space by<br />
removing the need for users to purchase and set up two lasers on the jobsite. The tool’s simple one-button<br />
operation can be used to quickly switch between its multiple self-leveling modes and its slope mode, making it a<br />
laser that increases productivity on the job-site.<br />
The tool’s five laser points are visible up to 100 feet and offer accuracy of ¼ inch for points and 1 / 8 inch for crossline,<br />
with laser line visibility of up to 33 feet. A keypad can be used for simple line and point selection including<br />
self-leveling, plumb up and down, horizontal leveling, alignment, right angle setting and laser cross-line. The<br />
cross lines add value to a typical point laser as it is able to provide alignment applications such as measuring off<br />
the level line.<br />
In self-leveling mode, the <strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> offers a leveling range of 4 degrees and alerts users with flashing lines when<br />
there is an out-of-level measure of greater than 4 degrees. An on-off sliding button provides a pendulum lock<br />
function for protection during transport, while sturdy product design keeps the tool fully protected against dust and<br />
splash water.<br />
Innovative features make the <strong>GCL</strong> <strong>25</strong> ideal for a multitude of leveling, squaring, transfer and plumbing<br />
applications such as:<br />
Transferring points to the ceiling or lighting installations using plumb points<br />
Leveling wall sockets, light switches and chair rails, and most other leveling applications<br />
