Product Overview
The Bosch GCL 2-50 is a sophisticated cross line laser designed to simplify alignment and levelling tasks with high precision. By projecting clear horizontal and vertical laser lines alongside two centred plumb points, this device handles versatile layout jobs efficiently. This specific kit significantly expands the tool's capabilities by including the LR 6 laser receiver, which extends the working range up to 50 metres, and the RM 1 rotating mount for flexible positioning. Engineered for durability and ease of use, it features a robust housing protected against dust and water, making it a reliable companion for varied environments.
Part No: 0601066F01(BOSM0601066F01)
Features & Benefits
- Versatile Projection: Capable of projecting a horizontal line, a vertical line, and two centred plumb points (floor and ceiling), allowing for comprehensive layout transfer.
- Extended Range: The dedicated receiver mode works seamlessly with the included LR 6 receiver to detect laser lines at distances up to 50 metres, which is essential for larger spaces or bright lighting conditions.
- RM 1 Rotating Mount: A multi-functional mount that allows the laser to rotate 360 degrees around the plumb point, facilitating precise line alignment without moving the tool's base.
- High Precision: Delivers reliable accuracy for levelling tasks, ensuring lines and points are positioned exactly where required.
- Robust Construction: Built with IP54 protection, guarding the device against dust ingress and splash water to ensure longevity.
- Smart Pendulum System: Automatically self-levels the laser lines when placed on slightly uneven surfaces and locks the pendulum when the tool is switched off to prevent damage during transport.
- Flexible Mounting: Compatible with a variety of fixing methods including ceiling clamps and standard tripods thanks to dual thread sizes.
- Intuitive Operation: Simple interface with a single-button keypad for switching between laser modes and a clearly visible battery status indicator.

FAQs
Laser Levels are invaluable when you need a straight and level reference point; almost like a virtual chalk line. There are lots of different variations to think about, such as whether you need vertical lines, horizontal or both, what colour the beam should be and whether it will be used indoors or outdoors. This last point is an important one; ‘outdoor’ Laser Levels use a brighter, more powerful laser to ensure visibility in natural light, so are more expensive than their ‘indoor’ counterparts.
A feature that isn’t always available but is worth looking out for, is “self-levelling”. A self-levelling laser corrects itself regardless of any irregularities in the surface the laser has been placed on; this makes them quicker and simpler to use, as well as more accurate when compared to levels which are calibrated using a spirit level bubble.
The most common type of Laser Level now is the Line Level, which does what it says on the box and displays horizontal and vertical lines either together as a cross hair or as separate lines on a ceiling, wall or floor. If choosing a Line Level, think about the working visibility range your level can project, the accuracy of the beam and the number of beams your level can give you.
An alternative to a Line Levels would be a Rotary Level. These rotate 360°, providing a constant horizontal line through a complete circle. There are also Specialist Levels available, such as Inclinometers and Plumb Bobs.
At ToolStore UK, we sell Laser Levels with both red and green beams. But which should you choose? Fundamentally, there are two factors to consider; cost and distance. Green lasers offer greater distance and improved visibility but those advantages come at a price. Therefore, if you need a Laser Level but have a restricted budget, a red laser may be the right choice. However, for many users, visibility is the most important factor and that makes green lasers a clear favourite; they are between 10 and 50 times brighter than red lasers which makes green lasers four more times more visible to the naked eye than red.
