Best Laser Measurers

This model's distinctive feature is color display with orientation sensing function, which allows for autorotation depending on the orientation of the device. When you make measurements holding the device horizontally, the device rotates text automatically to readable orientation. Besides, the device may switch automatically between incline mode and digital spirit level. For the first one you need to position the device on its left side, for the second - place the device on its back on the surface of the object. The device is protected against dust and water in accordance with IP54 standard. It allows using it in different weather conditions and all-year but only within an acceptable temperature range from 14°F to 113°F. The device is easy to use and navigate - it has only 7 buttons and a very intuitive menu with a roller which helps you choose a desirable mode. We'd like to note that display's backlight is activated automatically when you switch on the device, but if it is not in use for more than 20 seconds - it will be muted. In continuous measuring mode, a laser beam goes off in 20 seconds but the device will stay on for another 5 minutes. The main advantage of the model is built-in Bluetooth, which allows you to sync your laser measurer with smart devices and transfer all measurements to special Bosch Measuring Master application. In this app, you may create a new floor plan, overlay lines and measurements of objects within a picture and export these data into a file. Also, this application features a button for remote measurement. It means that you can take measurements with the help of your smartphone or tablet at a distance from the laser measure. This option could be particularly useful when using the device on a tripod, as this model comes with a tripod mounting hole at the back of the device. As you can see, this model has excellent characteristics, in order to provide quality and efficient measurements of various objects. Color backlit display and autorotation will make this process incredibly comfortable.

To ensure long use of your laser measurer, make sure to have some good-quality batteries in stock. You may also need to use a digital laser or infrared thermometer to take the temperature of various objects.

Today even the most complex devices may be simple and easy in use, just as this model. Being able to perform sophisticated calculations, it can be managed with only 8 buttons, located on the front panel. When in use, the built-in speaker emits additional sounds which can assist in measurement by signaling measurement condition. Among extra features of the model is timer function, which can be used to delay start. It can be necessary when there is only one person to execute different measurements and adjust the location of objects. As most of the models offered by other producers, Leica DISTO D2 has the function of automatic switch-off: the laser goes off in 90 seconds and if no key is pressed for another 180 seconds the device switches off automatically as well. Many common measurements are diagonal measurements that require placing your device all the way into the corner. However, due to a thick base, not all models can cope with the task. The solution to this problem is a flip-out extension, which will ensure the accuracy of measurements from any hard-to-reach places. If you need to measure the diagonal of a room with Leica DISTO D2 you wouldn't even need to think about moving the measuring point manually. The automatic intelligent end piece, connected to the circuit board, tells the device that the measured distance should be corrected by the lengths of the end-piece. Thus, your device will know that it measures from a point located at its base. Finally, the main advantage of this model is the presence of Bluetooth technology. Any human error can be eliminated entirely by transferring measured data automatically from the laser measurer to an official application installed on smart devices, be it a smartphone, a laptop or tablet. You can easily add measurements to a new floor plan, a sketch or a photograph, clearly drawing the dimensions of the desired objects. After that, you can send your measurements by email or export them to a file. Besides, the application has an online instruction manual available in many languages. If you need to clarify any information or need further guidance on the operation of the device - just open the app. To complete the picture, we could only add that similar to other models the device is protected against water and dust in accordance with IP54 standard. A firm brand pouch that comes with the device makes its transportation very safe and convenient. To sum it up, this is one of the best models in terms of functionality, speed, and convenience from the world-class manufacturer of surveying equipment. This laser measurer is fast, simple and easy. After making the desired measurements built-in Bluetooth will help you quickly transfer data to a user-friendly application on your smart device and eliminate any source of error altogether.

While working on a construction site, using a stand or a tripod can be very handy and convenient to take precise measurements from a large distance.

At the first sight this laser measurer doesn't look much different from its competitors. However, for its large size, it has the lowest weight, which makes the device incredibly convenient during prolonged use. The device is easily navigated with only 5 buttons, which can be pressed once or held for a few seconds to perform different actions. Taking measurements becomes twice easier! When scrutinizing the device we have discovered that if it remains idle for over 90 seconds in the continuous measuring mode, the laser beam will switch off; the power will switch off in 3 minutes. We have also established that the model can operate in the temperature range from 32°F to 104°F. Unfortunately, we could not find any mentioning of the housing protection against water or dust. Therefore, we do not recommend using it in bad weather.

At the end, we have concluded that this laser measurer could be an excellent choice for home use. It has all popular standard functions and at the same time is very straightforward in use.

Laser levels are probably the best solution for getting clearly visible leveled lines on almost any surface.

Having looked into the functionality of the device and the measurement process, we can go on to consider the convenience of use. For starters, it is worth mentioning the high-quality drop-resistant housing with rubberized gripping on the sides. Be sure, this device won't slip out of your hand. Nevertheless, it won't hurt to be cautious since this is a high precision instrument and falls may adversely affect its operation. Thus we recommend wearing it on the wrist and provide the link to a set of 5 firm nylon hand wrist straps below.

Speaking of its housing, we need to note that its bottom end is absolutely flat while the top end is only partly smooth. It was designed in such a way to allow a user to take measurements not only from the base but also from the top of the device, for instance, when taking measurements off a wall or an edge of a table. The device automatically switches off to save the battery power: the laser beam goes off in 20 seconds, but the device stays on for another 15 minutes. As we pointed out earlier, this laser measurer can also be used outdoors at varying temperature from +14­°F to +122°F. Besides, the device features dust, water, and debris resistance in accordance with IP 54 standard and can operate under bad weather conditions. However, despite well-protected housing, the laser accuracy significantly diminishes in the wind, rain or snow. You may well consider staying at home and taking measurements another day when the weather improves. Under different circumstances, if you want to enhance accuracy (especially if you have to take measurements over long distances), you are highly advised to use a tripod, as this device comes with a tripod mounting hole. Lastly, the laser measurer comes in a set with a brand pouch for storage and convenient transportation.

To sum it up, the device will definitely be a great assistance to those remodeling their house or working on small-scale home improvement or construction projects, as it makes the measuring process much more efficient and precise.

A few words about the convenience of use. The housing is made of quality drop-resistant plastic which can withstand falls from up to 6 feet. This model may also surprise you with IP65 protection. No need to worry if you leave your device in the rain or accidentally drop it from a ladder - it can survive any misfortune. You can safely use it at any temperature from 32 to 104°F. A bright backlit display will let you use the device in bright sunlight as well as in dim or poor lighting. So, heat or cold, rain or snow won't stop you anymore from work. Hopefully, such resistance to external damage could justify its larger size in comparison with other models! If the device is left unattended for more than 3 minutes it will switch off automatically to save the battery power. In the continuous measuring mode, the laser beam will be off in 90 seconds and the device - in 3 minutes. Easy and precise in use the device has a solid housing which greatly improves its durability. Altogether, this model would please amateurs and boost their confidence in work.

With a digital caliper, you can measure not only linear distance but also radial dimensions. This tool will let you take the most precise measurements of the radius or diameter of any circle that has dimensions under 6".
