Key benefits of a laser measure:
1. A single person can take measurements, especially long measurements, very quickly and accurately.
2. You can take measurements that are difficult if not impossible to do with a traditional tape measure, such as measuring the height of high ceiling or a long diagonal.
3. No more extending and contracting a tape measure. No more kinks or bending. No more trying to figure out if the small line the 16th or 8th of an inch.
Downsides:
1. You can't measure the linear distance of a non-square shape such as the circumference of circle or arch or the actual length of wire needed to transverse an irregular surface, such as a crawl space. (You can do this with most traditional metal tape measures either (only the flexible vinyl ones).
As for this specific unit, some of it's positives include:
1. Lightweight, compact and well built. In fact it is smaller and lighter than my old tape measure and that could only measure 20 feet. The unit is constructed of high impact plastic and rubberized grips on the side. Very solid, but still lightweight.
2. It's reliable. I have to admit, I was skeptical that it would be as reliable as a tape measure. I had one of the sound-based units awhile back and that was very unreliable and generally a waste of money. This unit not only provides accurate measurements (I tested it against my tape measure with about 10 different measurements, then got tired because the tape measure takes so long to set up...) but it also provides measurements off all kinds of surfaces. Wood, stucco, drywall, nylon, paper, even mirrors all returned accurate measurements.
3. It's fast. Point, push the button and you have your measurement.
Two main negatives:
1. As others have pointed out, due to the rubberized grip on the sides, the unit is not square when laid on its side or its back/front, which means you have to tilt the unit slightly to get what you guessestimate is a level line. That said, the bottom of the unit (opposite side of the laser) is flat/square and you can use that for many measurements (wall to wall, wall to ceiling, etc.).
2. It can display measurements you take in feet/inches, but if you store those measurements in memory the inches are "decimalized" which isn't a huge deal, but it's a weird oversight.
Overall, I would highly recommend this unit. If you are looking to make the switch from a traditional tape measure to laser, don't hesitate, this unit is reliable, well built and worth the money as it should last forever, unlike my tape measures which seemed to fail or get some kind of permanent kink in them every few years.
This IS a measuring tool and its versatility is confined to measuring, so if you are looking for other types of laser function, this is not the tool for you. However, if you need a versatile measuring device, this tool lives up to that claim. It can measure in metric, standard or decimal units. It can keep a running dimension or do single measurement. You can measure with a starting point from the back or front of the tool. You can measure distance, square footage and volume. It is compact and lightweight, yet doesn't feel cheap. I am not yet sure about battery life, so can't comment on that beyond the convenience of it not using a proprietary battery. It uses a couple of AAA batteries which are included in the package. As for accuracy, it seems very accurate. The one caveat regarding accuracy is that it WILL measure to the point you shoot it which means the measurement may vary depending on how and where you aim it (Just be sure not to point it at anyone's eyes).
The other things I wish were different; I wish it had a flatter bottom. It seems to rock fairly easily, but I have found this issue to be surmountable with some personal training and learning how to handle the idiosyncrasies of the tool. I once used a laser measurer which listed on the screen the previous three or so measurements. As I said, I have not fully explored this tool's capabilities yet, however I don't think it keeps this running tab easily visible. You can refer to previous measurements, I just don't think its listed on the screen.
All in all this is a great tool which has exceeded my needs and expectations to date. I can't speak to its durability at this point in time, but it seems as though it will be useful for years to come. If I were looking for a laser measuring device, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this item again.
