Laser Measure 50M,RockSeed Digital Laser Distance Meter M/in/Ft Unit

I'm doing up a house, getting it ready for sale in a couple of months. I was getting sick and tired of trying to measure stuff with a tape measure... anything over a couple of feet... and you know the drill, it bends and drops of the piece you're trying to measure... it comes loose. In short... measuring with a tape measure is a colossal pain in the backside... unless you've got some ridiculously expensive one that costs twice as much as this does. This item though... so quick and easy to use... and it's very accurate. I've found myself using it for silly things... like how far from my bedroom window the house the next road over... ok, so it can't measure that far (about 60mts or so I think), but it can measure the length of my garden... just over 23mts, it told me that a section I wanted to put some scaffold boards as a boarder was 3.8mts... and scaffold boards are 3.9mts and could be fitted without any trimming required as they slip down behind the end of a wall. It's accurately measured for carpeting and underlay in several rooms, let me work out how skirting and lino was required in the bathroom. Just a word of warning though. There's a button on there that adjusts the measurement... it either accounts for the depth of the device, or without the depth of the device. So under no circumstances should you accidentally press that button whilst measuring and unknowingly knock about 10cm of the measurement you write down... and then unknowingly cut the bath panel too short... and by too short, I mean about 10cm too short... which then means you have to go out and buy a new one so you can do it right. But I only made that mistake once. It's also got other features, so you can work out the square of an area... very handy for carpeting, and even the cubic size of a room... handy for working out how much wall paper you might need. It's worth the cost at £20 just to avoid the cursing and time wasted trying to use a frickin tape measure.

I bought the Laser Measure 50M/165ft RockSeed Digital Laser Distance Meter from Amazon and have been very impressed with its performance. It’s compact, feels well-made and has quickly become my go-to tool for measuring around the house and for DIY projects. The 50 m (165 ft) range is more than enough for most indoor and outdoor tasks, and the measurements are consistently accurate. I love the two bubble levels — they make it super easy to ensure the device is perfectly level before measuring, which gives extra confidence in the results. The backlit LCD is clear and easy to read even in dim light, and switching between m/in/ft units is simple. It handles single distance readings and more advanced calculations like area, volume and Pythagorean measurements, which has been really handy for planning furniture layouts and checking room dimensions. It’s lightweight and portable, fits comfortably in a tool bag, and the battery life has been good so far. Overall, this feels like a reliable and versatile laser measure at a great price — excellent for home users and pros alike.

It works well for my relatively straightforward needs, very accurate, only falls down when using it outside on bright days where it will start to have problems over longer distances (c. 10 metres or more dependent on the surface aimed at), but that's what I expected and at the price is a minor quibble. Perhaps unfair to give only 4 stars (certainly a 5 for value).

Whether measuring rooms for carpets or furniture, or reconfiguring garage / worksop space, this little meagre makes the job so easy. No more drooping tape or needing help to take measurements, this is a very simple, one-handed solution. Place the measure against the opposite wall, press a button to see a laser sighting spot, then press again to take the measurement. The distance is calculated from the back of the measure, so you don't need to adjust for the length of the device. There's a memory feature for storing you readings. The display is large, bight and very easy to read. I've used mine quite a few times over the last 6 months and the battery indicator still shows a full battery - it's nit like you're firing a laser constantly, just a couple of seconds. The measure comes in a little bag, which sips neatly into your pocket.

Excellent product VFM

This is actually better than expected. As it's a LOT cheaper than the big name brands, I thought it may be a case of "buy cheap, buy twice" but it's turning out to be a really useful tool so far, with great functionality and intuitive operation. My one quibble would be that the spirit levels are tiny and hard to see when measuring, so bear that in mind if that is an important consideration for you.

Great bit of kit for the money, easier than using a tape over long distances

Attractive unit, good display and backlight, easy to use and comprehensive functionality, large objective lens, however has a few important issues: 1) No way to calibrate, unlike many other units. 2) No case included (really important). 3) Unit has hard plastic outer not rubber. These units are light weight with a laser and large lens in the end which needs to be kept clean and protected. A case, at least an end cap, is an essential component to protect against damage. Other comparable products come with a case, rubber outer and for less money too. Will last several minutes in my tool bag without these basics for protection. Knocked 1 star for that reason. Testing has revealed that the devices I tried are (understandably) sensitive to the surface being aimed at. I found wood and anything glossy gave up to +/-5mm errors and also inconsistent readings when repeating the exact same measurement. Matt painted surfaces worked best and gave completely consistent and completely accurate readings, frankly, better and much easier to take than using any human operated tape measure. To achieve accuracy and consistency I am now placing a piece of white copier paper and blutack if measuring against anything wood or shiny. This also helps with aim over longer distances. Used this way I found it mm accurate to the measuring (1 mm) resolution of the machine. Furthermore if seeking to determine accuracy of these devices they must be compared against at least a calibrated tape used at the calibrated temperature. Your £5 tape from Wilco outside on a cold day against a brick wall won't do. I have one calibrated 3m tape and 5 general use tapes. They measure up to 2mm different from my calibrated tape. In short, don't dis the device because it doesn't check against your inexpensive tool box tape. Tolerances add up. Your tape could, be wrong and most importantly your tested surface also needs to be controlled and consistent. Reluctantly returned in favour of an item with a case and ability to calibrate. Highly accurate against a white paper or matt painted surface.

Sinceramente, este medidor láser RockSeed es de los mejores productos que he comprado para casa/bricolaje. Lo pillé para medir habitaciones, muebles y hacer cuatro cosas de reforma, y desde el primer día me ha ahorrado tiempo y, sobre todo, errores. La medición es rápida: apuntas, pulsas y tienes la distancia al momento, sin estar peleándote con la cinta métrica ni necesitando otra persona para sujetar el extremo. Para medir paredes largas, alturas o espacios incómodos es una maravilla. Además, los dos niveles de burbuja ayudan un montón a dejarlo bien alineado y que la medida sea más consistente, sobre todo cuando mides a distancia o en vertical. También me gusta que es muy intuitivo: lo enciendes, eliges modo y listo. Para tareas como calcular metros cuadrados, medir estancias para comprar muebles, poner cuadros, cortinas o planificar materiales, es un antes y un después. Lo he usado ya bastantes veces y funciona estable, sin lecturas raras. La pantalla se ve bien y el manejo es cómodo incluso si no eres “manitas”.

Sorry I don't like it

Was really hoping this would work well but it’s not accurate

Accurate and quick

En plein travaux dans une maison avec beaucoup de Placo à installer, ce produit est d'une grande aide. Afin de faciliter la prise de mesures dans chaque pièce, j'ai décidé d'investir dans ce télémètre laser. Aucun regret, basique, mais très efficace, le gain de temps est appréciable. D'après mes tests, les mesures sont fiables et les différentes fonctions très intuitives. L'appareil est compact et très léger, le rétro éclairage de l'écran est un vrai plus. Il convient parfaitement à mon utilisation, je le recommande sans hésitations.
