About Clamps & Mounts

Clamps and mounts are essential accessories for laser levels and measuring equipment, providing the secure positioning and stability required for accurate levelling, alignment, and measurement tasks. These precision-engineered components allow tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts to work hands-free, positioning laser levels at the exact height and angle needed for tasks ranging from suspended ceiling installation to interior fit-out work. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of professional-grade mounting solutions from leading brands including Bosch Professional and Bessey.

The range includes rotating mounts for 360-degree positioning, flexible clamps for irregular surfaces, telescopic holders for extended reach, and specialist wall and ceiling brackets designed for specific laser level models. From simple gel pads that provide non-slip positioning to motorised multifunctional mounts offering remote positioning control, these accessories transform how efficiently you can use your laser measuring equipment. Quality mounting equipment is crucial – a poorly secured laser level can shift during use, compromising measurements and potentially requiring entire marking-out processes to be repeated.

Applications

Laser level clamps and mounts are indispensable for a wide range of construction and installation professionals:

• Electricians – positioning laser levels for conduit runs, socket heights, and lighting installation
• Joiners and carpenters – ensuring accurate cabinet installation, door frame alignment, and skirting heights
• Dry liners and plasterers – establishing datum lines and checking wall plumb over large areas
• Ceiling installers – using ceiling clips for suspended grid levelling and positioning
• Tilers – setting out accurate reference lines for large-format tiles and pattern work
• Shopfitters – achieving precise alignment for shelving, display units, and interior fixtures
• Groundworkers and landscapers – establishing levels for drainage, paving, and exterior construction
• DIY enthusiasts – tackling home improvement projects requiring accurate levelling

Choosing The Right Clamps & Mounts

Compatibility: Ensure the mount is compatible with your laser level model. Bosch Professional mounts are designed specifically for Bosch GLL and GRL laser series, with mounting threads and weight capacities engineered to match. Most use standard 1/4" or 5/8" tripod threads.

Application Type: Consider where you'll mount your laser level most frequently. Wall mounts provide permanent positioning for repeated tasks, ceiling clips are essential for overhead work with suspended ceilings, whilst flexible clamps offer versatility for irregular surfaces and pipework. Rotating mounts excel for layout work requiring multiple angle settings.

Adjustment and Positioning: Basic mounts offer fixed positioning, whilst rotating mounts provide 360-degree adjustment for comprehensive coverage. Motorised multifunctional mounts like the Bosch RM3 deliver remote-controlled positioning – a significant productivity advantage for solo operators.

Build Quality: Professional-grade mounts feature robust metal construction with positive locking mechanisms that prevent movement during use. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks trade-quality equipment with appropriate load capacity and stability for demanding site work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are laser level mounts universal or brand-specific?

Most laser level mounts use standard 1/4" or 5/8" tripod threads, providing some compatibility across brands. However, many manufacturers design mounts specifically optimised for their laser level models, incorporating features like quick-release mechanisms and weight distribution designed for particular equipment.

How many times can gel pads be reused?

Quality gel pads can typically be reused dozens of times when properly cared for. Clean them with water after use to remove dust and debris, allow to air dry, and store with the protective film replaced. Adhesion gradually diminishes with repeated use, so keep spares available.

Can I use a flexible clamp mount outdoors?

Yes, quality flexible clamps are suitable for outdoor use and excel at gripping temporary supports, stakes, or site furniture. However, consider wind exposure – laser levels mounted on flexible supports are more susceptible to movement in breezy conditions than those on rigid wall mounts.
