With Laser Distance Measuring Tools you have more
accurate readings especially at extended lengths.
The longer that a measuring tape measure is
extended, the harder it is to get an accurate
measurement. You have to worry about slack in the
line or applying too much tension on the tape and
stretching or possibly even breaking it. You have to
line up the foot directly with the starting point.
Even temperature can affect your measurement. Laser
distance measurers are one of the fastest and most
accurate ways to collect measurements. Most base
model Laser Distance Measuring Tools will handle a length of 100 feet and if
you are using a target and an advanced model it will
reach much longer distances.
Easy operation is the same for most Laser Distance
Measuring Tools. The distance measurer projects a
laser which looks very similar to that of a laser
pointer. Simply point and press the button. It will
automatically measure to where the laser is pointed.
(You can select whether you want the length of the
tool itself included in the measurement or not.)
Most Laser Distance Measuring Tools can do basic
calculation like addition, subtraction, area, and
volume. They can also store previous measurements
(depending on the model) into internal memory. Some
lasers will track minimum and maximum measurements.
You can automatically transfer between different
units of measure such as feet, inches, tenths,
meters, etc. Some lasers have a built in tilt
detector to take measurements at an angle, ranging
anywhere from 45° to a full 360°.
The Pythagorean function is a versatile feature
found on most laser distance measurers. With this
feature you can calculate the length of an object
using 3 points. Using this method you do not have to
be at the start or end point when taking the
measurement. Use it if you do not have a target
point or if you need to find the height of a window
that is on the second floor. (A magnified viewfinder
is helpful if you are outside and are having trouble
seeing your laser dot.) Another great feature is
wireless blue tooth connection capabilities, which
allows you to automatically transfer your saved
measurements to a pocket PC and/or laptop and input
them directly in to programs like AutoCad, Excel,
and others.
Please note: The options above do not apply to
all laser measuring devices. Please check product
specifications or contact EngineerSupply to see what
options are available with specific models.
