I was just having a look at a few Bosch line lasers on a tool site and trying to decide if I could use one. I know there are several companies that make these tools but I’d like to know if any of you guys have a Bosch line laser or have used them and what are your opinions afterwards/
Thanks again guys

I can only suggest checking out PLS
I have used and own a couple of their lasers. Excellent quality and a dedicated company that stands behind their product.
Best of luck on your hunt and decision.
Bosch GLL3-80
I've been using this laser for a couple months now and I think its just about the best value you can get. Doesn't seem right to say that a $500 dollar line laser is a great value but getting 3 lines at 360 degrees gives you a lot of bang for every one of those bucks. You can transfer measurements vertically like a plumb laser, check level or plumb 360 degrees like a rotary, check layouts for square. I've had no problems with accuracy but i've probably only used it across 40 feet max. I've used it outdoors with the optional laser detector to transfer heights doing beamwork. The visibility of the line indoors is very good. As for the thickness of the line I've always made it a habit to consistently mark either the top or bottom of the beam anyway, but I'd say its thick enough for good visibility but not so fat that I'd worry about the accuracy.
I suppose it all boils down to what you want to use it for. I'd used a PLS cross laser for about 10 years to layout for cabinets and a few other uses here and there and it worked great.
