Laser level Bosch PCL 10 Set: specifications, photos and reviews

Classes of household and professional construction tools in many aspects of operation converge and assume uniform directions of development. For example, this refers to the reliability of devices, ease of use and durability. At the same time, not every measuring device designed for domestic use should provide the possibility of working at large distances and at the same time demonstrate increased accuracy with wide functionality. The Bosch PCL 10 Set model is part of the family level line designed to perform basic tasks to control the position of work surfaces and objects. The device though does not have the capabilities of a professional laser level, but it is quite suitable for obtaining accurate results in the process of performing general repair and installation operations.

General information about the level

The model comes in different trim levels, which can include one or another set of additional accessories. In this case, the full version of the device is considered, including the necessary additions that extend the capabilities of the Bosch PCL 10 Set. A tripod made of aluminum, for example, allows you to conveniently monitor the position of objects without third-party assistance. Also included is a boot and two batteries.

The device is included in the family of automatic laser levels, so the user can count on ensuring high accuracy of measurements. Unlike most household levels, this model gives cross-sectional markings on the vertical and horizontal, which also improves the quality of work. At the same time, the Bosch PCL 10 Set marking device eliminates the need for painstaking execution of the settings. It is enough to correct the basic mechanical position of the instrument with orientation to the target object, and then the electronic filling through the generated beams will independently project the lines on the working surface and, if necessary, perform the necessary calculations.

Specifications

For many characteristics, the model gives its origin from the line of home levels. This also applies to the modest in terms of professional models of the radius of the LED beam, and the minimum number of additional options. Nevertheless, Bosch PCL 10 Set has a rather strong technical base, the parameters of which are presented below:

• The dimensions of the device are 108 x 92 x 66 mm.
• Weight - 1.11 kg.
• The fixing thread in the tripod is 1/4 inch.
• The number of LED beams is 2.
• The length of the laser wave level is 635 Nm.
• The range of measurements is up to 10 m.
• The error is about 0.5 mm per 1 m.
• The measurement time is an average of 4 seconds.
• The duration of the charge is 15 hours.
• The voltage of the supply element is 1.5 V.

The "filling" of the device is fairly balanced both in terms of operational capabilities and in terms of the design device. Due to this, the instrument is suitable for making measurements in close conditions of a small apartment, and also when working on a large construction site.

Features of the model Bosch PCL 10 Set

In the segment of the home tool, producers rarely envisage technological delights. But the German company still implemented a few special solutions in this model of the level. They include the presence of a switch with integrated protection. This device allows you to securely fix the device for the purpose of performing further marking at high accuracy. It often happens that even with correct positioning operators of laser levels mark the vagueness of the lines. To prevent such distortions, the level of Bosch PCL 10 Set is provided with a glass cover, through which the device directs bright and at the same time clear beams. And this is not to mention the mechanical protection provided by the same lid.

Positive feedback about the instrument

The main share of the owners of this device are ordinary house masters, most of whom do not have professional skills in construction. It is to this audience that the model is calculated. It is praised for successfully implemented ergonomics with convenient controls, reliability and versatility. Experienced users note that the device should be purchased in full with the tripod. If necessary, the laser level "Bosch" can be combined not only with proprietary accessories, but also with the devices of other major manufacturers of such a tool. By the way, a thread with a size of 1/4 inch allows you to use the device in combination with most popular tripods. As for the working properties themselves, the owners emphasize the generation of clearly visible rays, which are projected with a minimum error of up to 10 m.

Negative feedback

If we proceed from the fact that this model of the leveler was initially oriented towards domestic use, then part of the critical feedback can be left aside altogether. These, for example, include claims in terms of short-distance filing lines, mention of limited functionality, as well as modest opportunities for the production of geometric calculations. Similar options are usually available to more solid representatives of the segment - usually from the category of professional models. Nevertheless, there is also quite justified criticism of the Bosch PCL 10 Set, which concerns the feeding elements. Today even the lowest class of such levels is equipped with small, but rechargeable units. In this case, the developers have provided power from the batteries, which is not always convenient for long working sessions.

Conclusion

The device is equipped with a basic set of functions that are performed by modern construction levels. And in practice, the model adequately solves its problems without gross errors. Also, the laser level "Bosch" in the modification of PCL 10 is characterized by a sturdy body and comfortable handles. For these and other advantages, the person wishing to become the owner of this model must pay about 4.5-5 thousand rubles. Obviously, the price tag for the model of this level is slightly overestimated, but, according to users themselves, high accuracy of marking, durability of the device and ease of operation cost this investment.
