Bosch Zamo

0.15 - 20 m, 2x 1,5 V LR03 AAA, 635 nm, 0.08 kg Put the tool in position, slide open the switch, press the button, done – the Zamo laser measure from Bosch makes it exceptionally easy to measure lengths and distances. With the help of this 10 x 3.6 x 2.3 centimeter small tool, the successor to the PLR 15, you can now measure distances of up to 20 meters accurately to within three millimeters in a matter of seconds – for example to check whether the XXL size of that much sought-after box-spring bed will actually fit in your bedroom. You can also measure rooms quickly and precisely with the Zamo when youre viewing a new apartment – much more easily than with a tape measure. Moreover, this handy tool fits in any jacket or trouser pocket thanks to its small dimensions and its weight of only 80 grams.

<b>Easy, intuitive operation and improved functions</b>
The Zamo offers a longer range of 20 meters. Simply pull back the sliding switch and press the button once – the exact distance will appear in no time on the display which is easy to read thanks to its back lighting. The measuring tool continuously displays the current distance between the reference edge of the tool and the surface that the emitted laser beam hits. If, for example, you want to measure the height of a room, you simply put the Zamo on the floor, aim it at the ceiling, press the button – and the height is displayed instantly. If you press the red button again, the next measurement will be taken. To finish measuring, you simply slide the switch back to the starting position to switch off the laser measure. That is now even easier to do thanks to the textured surface of the sliding switch.

<b>Bosch laser technology for precise measuring results</b>
The laser technology used in the tool ensures exact measuring results while simultaneously allowing for a very small and lightweight design. Laser measures offer two major advantages over the ultrasound distance measurers often offered in the DIY segment: they are more accurate and reliable. Ultrasound tools only measure accurately to the centimeter because measurement by means of sound wave is error-prone, whereas laser distance measurers deliver millimeter-accurate results. The range is also considerably longer than that of ultrasound measuring tools. With the Zamo, Bosch enables anyone to use this precise laser technology.

The Zamo is available at retail outlets for the recommended retail price of 59.99 euros including VAT. It comes complete with two 1.5 V AAA batteries.

<b>More than a million sold – a success story</b>
In the past two years, Bosch has launched a whole family of tools featuring self-explanatory single-button operation. It includes the PLR 15 laser measure for do-it-yourselfers – now the Zamo – its counterpart for the American market and a professional laser measure. All in all, more than a million of these tools have been sold since the market launch. Bosch has therefore created a new market: the market for easy-to-operate, affordable laser measures.
