Stated accuracy matters less than how you brace the back edge · review
A deliberately minimal meter: one button, a 20 m range and a stated accuracy of ± 3 mm/m. It is the shortest-range meter in this hub and the easiest to hand to somebody who has never used one.
The bottom line The one to buy for somebody else. It does one thing, it cannot be operated wrongly, and it fits a pocket.
The EasyDistance 20 is the smallest commitment in this hub, and that is the whole design.
Measurement up to 20 m with a stated accuracy of ± 3 mm/m. A single button handling on, off, hold and re-measure. A pocket-format body. Supplied with two 1.5 V LR03 AAA alkaline cells, a manual and an e-commerce carton. Bosch also lists sustainability features for this reference.
A 20 m range covers a room, a corridor, a garden fence and most of a house frontage. It does not cover a plot boundary or a warehouse, and there is no reserve: at the limit the meter stops rather than degrading. Every other meter in this hub reaches at least twice as far, and two of them reach five times as far for less than double the price.
Every additional mode on a laser meter is a state the tool can be left in. A meter set to area mode, handed to somebody else, gives a number that is not a distance — and it is the single most common reason a reading is wrong. Bosch removed the possibility. That is a genuine feature for a shared tool, and a genuine limitation for a working one.

A flat ± 3 mm is the same error at any distance. A figure per metre grows with the measurement. Bosch states ± 3 mm/m for this model; read it as an error that scales with the distance measured, and check the manual supplied with your own unit.
No. Bosch describes a single-button concept for distance measurement. If you need area and volume, the other meters in this hub have them.
Two 1.5 V LR03 AAA alkaline cells, supplied.
