Laser Measuring Tools

Without a Laser Measuring Tool, you have to take a measurement, write it down, do the math, and enter it into a program. Want an easier solution? Laser Measuring Tapes can do all these things automatically. Measuring can be done in less time and more accurately. Eliminate the hassle of traditional measuring tapes. Don’t worrying about hard to reach places, just point and click. Laser measurement tools do basic calculations like area, surface and volume automatically. Reduce errors from math mistakes and sloppy handwriting. Laser measures can even alternate between different measuring increments. Whether you are a Realtor, Appraiser, Builder, Plumber, Insurance Adjuster, Painter, or Floor Installation Pro, a Laser Tape Measuring Tool can help.

Here’s a basic function summary to help select the best laser for your needs.

The Stanley FatMax Tru-Laser Distance Measurer has 3 Models:

TLM 100- Will do basic calculations (areas, volumes, single distance, add/subtract). 1/4" Accuracy at 100ft.

TLM 200- Will do the basic calculations above, and track max and min distances. Also features a 2-Point Pythagoras calculation. 1/8” Accuracy at 100ft.

TLM 300- Has all the abilities of TML200 but also features advanced Pythagoras abilities, angle and trapezoid measuring, built in memory and history reading. It can mount onto a tripod and has a 2X viewfinder, and a bubble for horizontal leveling. A built-in sensor automatically detects positioning of flap. 1/16" Accuracy at 100ft.

The Leica Disto Laser Measuring Tool has 5 Models:

Disto A2- Will calculate addition, subtraction, area and volume, designed for indoor use. 1/8" Accuracy at 200ft.

Disto A3- Can do basic functions listed above, track min and max distances, and features a spirit-level for horizontal alignment. Measure distances up to 80m. Readings are even visible in the dark. 1/8" Accuracy at 350ft.

Disto A5- Can do basic functions listed above. Has Pythagoras ability for finding surface area. 2X viewfinder ideal for measuring long distances (~100m). 1/16" Accuracy at 650ft.

Disto A6- Can do basic functions listed above. Also features a Bluetooth data transfer that exports directly to Pocket PC or laptop programs (Word, Excel, AutoCad) 1/16" Accuracy at 650ft.

Disto A8- Can do basic functions listed above. Also features a tilt sensor to measure angles, horizontal distances and inaccessible height measurements. It can mount onto a tripod and has a 3X viewfinder. 1/8" Accuracy at 650ft.
