Complete with a plumb bob, tool kit, and carrying case, this level is the ultimate tool for contractors and serious DIYers who demand precision and durability. ## Description The Bosch GOL26 has a 26x power lens that allows more light for a sharper image and excellent magnification. The level is equipped with a self-leveling comepnsator with transport lock to protect the pendulum from damage while in the carrying case. The optical level is easy to set-up with a circular bubble vial with 90 degree mirror. The magnetic dampening system on the optical level settles the system and reduces the effects of jobsite vibrations. The level offers both horizontal and vertical crosshairs and stadia lines in order to measure level and aligmnent and estimate distance. It includes the optical level, a hard case, lens cap, plumb bob and adjustment tools. Review: Great Level...Fast, clear, accurate, and easy to use--a great value! - Just finished shooting a contour plot of 10 acres of orchards of mine...nearly two hundred elevation points. The level worked great. Key features I liked: 1) The view with this 26x unit is really sharp and crisp making it easy to read the rod to a tenth at up to 300 feet. I also used it as close as 20 feet and everywhere in between. 2) The auto leveling is superb...leading to quick setups and fast shoots. I used the level on a professional camera tripod equipped with a sturdy ball head and custom adapter for the level's 5/8-11mount. For each setup, I just loosened the ball head and quickly roughly-zeroed the bulls-eye level in a few seconds, fine-tuned the bulls-eye with a quick couple of turns of the levels feet, and was ready to shoot. The auto level took care of all the fine tuning for all shoot directions...very quick. 3) The auto level dampens down very fast (second or two) and didn't bounce at all in the modest winds I encountered. Very efficient shooting. 4) The focus and lateral translation knobs work very smoothly, and together with the gun-sight, make acquiring and reading the rod a quick matter. 5) I performed a full calibration of the unit before using it...it was dead nuts on as shipped from the factory. Couple of issues worth noting: 1) The level comes with a clamp to hold the auto level mechanism during transportation, but actuating it requires holding in a pin on the underside of the level. This is done automatically when the level is placed into its carrying case...thus the mechanism is clamped during transportation in its case. However, the mechanism is not clamped when carrying the unit around in the field. Having a manual clamp for field transportation could be good...OR maybe NOT so good. One would have to remember to release the clamp, or all your readings would be way off. The clamp would have to block your view or somehow force you to release it before using the instrument. It worked fine as it is. 2) In a similar manner, I had to be very careful not to take bad readings with the level by using the wrong cross hair. The level has three horizontal cross hairs: the central one and two widely spaced additional ones for use in estimating distances. A few times I caught myself using the wrong horizontal cross hair when taking a reading...they're all similar in size and color. Had to force myself to confirm that I was using the central cross hair. Bottom Line: Great Level...a pleasure to use...particularly in comparison to the old "non-auto" units I've used in the past. Review: Good quality and user friendly - Professional contractor - I ordered this product as a replacement for an older model Johnson that grew legs on the job. It arrived as described - sturdy case, and all parts were included. The first setup was time consuming, but after i completed it, it was perfect direct from the factory - no adjustments necessary. The daily set up takes only a minute or two with the self leveling bubble dial. Stays accurate during use and is extremely easy to focus and adjust. I would highly recommend this product to other contractors and DIYers who are in need of an accurate, tool for leveling decks, additions and other building projects. I am a long time Bosch tool user and have always been appreciative and thankful for the quality and engineering that goes into their products. This level is no exception. ## Features - SELF-LEVELING: The level features a self-leveling compensator with transport lock that protects the pendulum in the carrying case against damage and loss of calibration. - ACCURACY: The optical level is accurate up to +/- 1/16 inch at 100 feet. - DURABLE: The optical level is IP54 rated to withstand tough jobsite conditions such as rain or dust. - VERSATILE: The optical level offers both horizontal and vertical crosshairs and stadia lines to measure level and alignment and estimate distance. - LARGE APERATURE: This allows for more light for a sharper image. - EASY-TO-USE: Equipped with a circular buble vial with 90 degree mirror for easy and fast set-up. - MAGNETIC DAMPENING SYSTEM: The magnetic dampening quickly settles the system and reduces the effects of jobsite vibration. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003L6SFDY | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,727 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #91 in Levels | | Brand | Bosch | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 137 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000346387322 | | Included Components | Automatic Optical Level, Plumb Bob, Hard Carrying Case, Tool Kit | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8.5"L x 5"W | | Item Type Name | Optical Level | | Item Weight | 3.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Bosch measuring and layout tools are covered by a one year limited warranty with an additional year when you register your tool within eight weeks of purchase - for details, call 1-877-BOSCH99 | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Product Dimensions | 8.5"L x 5"W | | Style | 26x Optical Level | | Style Name | 26x Optical Level | | UPC | 000346387322 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Color:** Blue - **Material:** Metal, Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 8.5"L x 5"W - **Style:** 26x Optical Level ## Images ![BOSCH GOL26 26X Automatic Optical Level, Includes Plumb Bob, Tool Kit, & Carrying Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SUxr0tAhL.jpg) ![BOSCH GOL26 26X Automatic Optical Level, Includes Plumb Bob, Tool Kit, & Carrying Case - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fohcTYyQL.jpg) ![BOSCH GOL26 26X Automatic Optical Level, Includes Plumb Bob, Tool Kit, & Carrying Case - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UBwysN13L.jpg) ![BOSCH GOL26 26X Automatic Optical Level, Includes Plumb Bob, Tool Kit, & Carrying Case - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612mEwrEa8L.jpg) ![BOSCH GOL26 26X Automatic Optical Level, Includes Plumb Bob, Tool Kit, & Carrying Case - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WLGsQv0hL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Level...Fast, clear, accurate, and easy to use--a great value! *by R***S on November 7, 2014* Just finished shooting a contour plot of 10 acres of orchards of mine...nearly two hundred elevation points.
