If you want to measure distance accurately and quickly, try a Laser Measure

If you want to measure distance accurately and quickly, try a Laser Measure Tool. These tools are amazing and most people want one at the very first sight of seeing one work. You simply point and push a button and you'll see a red laser dot where you want to measure to. The measurement is recorded in the units memory and on it's LCD screen. Depending on features and how much you want to spend, laser distance measuring tools can go from super simple (think Bosch GLM 15) all the way to super complex (Leica Disto D810). The Bosch GLM 15 only records several distances and has almost no other features than being small and easy to carry and extremely affordable. Then you have the full-blown features of the Leica Disto D810 that can measure things like the dimensions of a window on the 4th story of a building, or the height of a tree, and even interface with a bluetooth device to transfer measurements. Of course theres models of laser measures that fall somewhere in between the starter and the professional models, you just have to figure out which features are important to you and how much you want to budget.
