AmazonCommercial Laser 100m Distance Meter, Fast Measurement Ability of Outdoor Space

Best Value for money

Had no problems even in daylight. Works well.

Works brilliant, no errors when carrying out surveys.

Having owned several of these laser measures and struggled to get any to work outdoors someone recommended this.Looks expensive in comparison.Well took the plunge, took it outside and I was totally astonished.It works outdoors and it works very very well.Reads a building at 96m no issues outdoors.What a bit of kit for the money.Forget the cheap big boasting versions.This works does exactly what it says on the tin and yes you do get what you pay for.Continuous mode is very good as well.

For the sake of clarity, my better half wrote this review and that has been both good and bad. On the plus side, it demonstrates that you don't need to be a fat geezer with your backside hanging out of your grots to use it. The negative is that your missus can use it and you can lose a bet which, I did. I bet my wife that the length of our garage was about 12m and she reckoned nearer 10m. I was very confident about this and given the penalty for failure was who was cooking dinner I was feeling smug, especially as I built the damn place with my own hands.I lost. Badly. So, without further ado, over to my wife.For a number of years we have been renovating a house, adding into that mix, husband works offshore and he works flat out during his leave to get things done, we need to have materials on site before he gets home. So, I am often tasked with measuring stuff - no pressure there then!I have lost count of the number of times I've had to measure and either the tape wasn't long enough or it was a 2 man job (for something elevated) so this laser measure has made many a job so much easier.For simple measuring it is very easy to operate, press the red measure button, point and then press the button on the side and in an instant the measurement is displayed on the screen - this is especially useful when you win the bet with your husband over a previously guessed measurement and you can take photographic evidence for your win in his absence!!There are a number of features available addition/subtraction, volume measurement, stake out function (perfect for stud walls) and the laser can even be tripod mounted.All in all a very useful bit of kit.I will add that this is a decently made bit of kit. Not sure it would qualify as commercial grade but it is robust enough and the buttons are the sealed type which, on a site or outside is vital. Bottom line is that this works well and if treated with reasonable respect should last a good long time.

Yes, I really like this device. It arrived sensibly packaged in a strong cardboard box. Inside the box, accompanying the meter, is a black carrying case to attach to your belt, a carry cord, 2 x AAA 1.5 Volt batteries, and a small screwdriver to secure the battery compartment cover. The unit is made of heavy-duty plastic with rubber reinforcement on either side, giving it a strong and robust appearance. It fits neatly in the palm of the hand, and is about the size of the old-style mobile phone. Open the back of the unit, fit the supplied small batteries, and away you go.The written/visual instructions are easy enough to follow - so I was able to check out a few room measurements in my house within a couple of minutes of taking the meter out of its box. And let me tell you, it's a doddle to use. What particularly blew me away was its accuracy. I measured my lounge, dining room, and hallway with a tape measure - then used this laser metre to find that it was accurate to the nearest millimetre! The laser meter can be used for measuring distance, areas, volume and angles. The unit will switch off after a few minutes if no activity is detected. It measures in meters, or feet and inches at the touch of a button.After using the unit over a 4-hour period, the battery indicator was still showing as being half charged, so one would assume that the battery life would be around 8 hours. Batteries need to be replaced when the battery symbol flashes on the control panel. I will probably switch to using rechargeable batteries in future - to save money and to be friendlier to our environment. It's a shame the unit is not fully waterproof, but that's really a minor quibble because this very useful, small device ticked every other box I can think of. In conclusion, I think this easy to use laser meter from Amazon is well-built, and represents good value for money. It would certainly benefit tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts, and it's a product I highly recommend. Thanks for checking out my review, I hope you found it of use.
