Has anyone tried using this to install hardwood flooring? Can it draw a line half inch away from the wall?

Sorry, the Model GTL3 cannot get that close to the wall. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

1/2" is going to be tough. 1" is doable. (We use it for tile and love it. We snap lines on all our floors and this makes squaring so much easier. No need to snap a primary line to check room squareness, just use the laser...) Hope this helps.

It can project a line approx. 3/4" from and parallel to the wall. However, the 45 & 90 deg. lines will be aimed at the wall. Therefore, it will only be useful to project a straight line, not using the squaring function.

My tv is only 2inches or so from the wall. I have to use a long extesion in order to get behind it and tighten the security screw but my tv is larger than most so thats why I can't reach all the way up to the center of it.

I would not recommend using it unless mounting it on the wall. It is not sturdy enough with a wide enough base to stand on the floor and be used. When wall mounted it works wonderfully and I am very happy with my purchase.

It should have no problem with one inch wood. Cuts on the pull not push so sawdust can obscure the line so just keep blowing it away.

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

If you are able to pull the desk away from the wall, then you won't have a problem. And once installed, it extends -maybe- a third of an inch behind the desk. The problem is that there is about a 3-4 inch overhand, that mounts to the top and bottom of the desk section that you will need to fit. Hope this helps.

Hello Norma. Thank you for your e mail. You can set it off 1 inch from the wall, up to 1 1/2 cinches, however, if you need it to be further away,we have stand off to fit behinf the rail supports that will allow more space. Let me know how far it actually needs to be from the wall in order to let you know what can be done. Best regards. Silvio Haas

Have never used tool for 3/4 flooring. I do not think it will work with that thickness

no, you will need flooring stapler with a mallet, you would only be able to use next to the wall ,where cannot fit the flooring stapler.

I assume you have the clear side down towards the floor.You can purchase some double sided tape (3M is a good brand) at the hardware store and it should work fine and not ruin the hardwood surface.You probably only need a half dozen one inch strips to do the job.Buy the thinnest thickness and try that first.

Hmmm, never thought of that. I would not recommend it for several reasons the biggest being the physics of the weight versus the drywall.

That would be a nice application, but I don't see how. It has three attachment points -- in a triangle configuration...it is really intended to go in a corner -- trying to put it against a flat wall will change the geometry and I suspect it would not work in a satisfactory manner. Good luck!

Depends on how far away the wall is, have not used the vertical line but the horizontal cast about 20'wide sitting at about 20' from wall, set it farther from wall and you will get a wider horizontal line, I'm sure the vertical casts the same

No. At best, feet will be only half on the shelf. [This is weird! I went back to check again after seeing RCB's answer. With the unit pushed as far back as possible, the fronts of the feet are 12.25 inches from the wall, so I have to stick with 'no'. Good luck!]

It sits above the flooring about 1/3 " if you are installing it on hardwood. I put it in an area that isn't going to be walked on all the time (under the couch) and haven't had a problem. It would definitely be a trip hazard if you put it where you would be walking all the time.

You could, but you would need to make some kind of extension to full the gap between the two halves - they will work with a wall thickness up to about one or 1.5 inches, after that you need to make a "tube" of some type to cover the distance between the two ends. I did this out of wood and it worked great.

I use mine in the same room, so I couldn't accurately answer this question. However, two walls plus 25 feet seems like it might be a struggle to me.
