Laser Measure - atolla 328Ft Digital Laser Measurement Tool with Mute Function, 2 Bubble Levels, LCD Backlit, Pythagorean Mode, Measuring Distance/Area/Volume (M/in/Ft Unit Switching)

I love this little product. It's perfect for getting a quick measure on a distance from where you are to something across the way. It's not necessarily the most practical for getting a super accurate measurement over a long distance as I find that I can't keep my hands steady enough or the laser exactly where I want it to go to get a measurement to a fraction of an inch, but if I want to know if it's 20 ft or 20 ft 3 in, then this is perfect. There are a few buttons on it that are easy to work, although not necessarily the most intuitive. Once you kind of figured out I have to refigure it out after a month of not using it.One thing I wish was different was that it could constantly measure a distance instead of having to press the measure button as the action of pushing the button sometimes moves my hand and the device, resulting in an errant measurement. That's a small gripe though, and I wouldn't pay double the price for that feature

Good product, way cheaper than the big brands (just slower). I checked the accuracy against a ruler: both measuring from top and bottom of the meter are spot on (bottom of meter measurement just adds 12.2cm to the measurement). I chose this one over the other laser measures at the price point because it can display fractional inches, and I couldn't confirm the other ones were able to from the listing pictures.Tips/gotchas:* The add/subtract button for straight line measurement works by taking the first measurement, pressing +/-, then taking another measurement. It will stay in +/- mode for subsequent measurements.* Add/subtract for the special modes (area, volume, hypotenuse-side, etc), is different if you want to add/subtract more than two measurements: you need to do the first set of measurements, then press +/-, then take another set of measurements. When the result of the second set of measurements shows, you need to press Read to return the result. Then, if you want to continue adding/subtracting, you need to press +/- AGAIN to your chosen mode and take your next set of measurements. Pressing Read from the result screen without pressing +/- again will take you back to straight line measurement mode (this is kind of unexpected, because without +/- mode subsequent measurements stay in the special mode you've chosen).* Only the unit setting is retained across poweroffs.Settings menu:From off, hold On for 3 seconds until you see "boot".To change the value of a setting, short press On.To go to the next setting, long press On (1 second).Here are the settings in order and what they do, default setting in [brackets]:1. Power on reading: [yes], indicated by laser pointer icon in top left, no, indicated by no laser pointer icon If yes, the measure is ready to take a reading when you first turn it on (you only need to press Read once, instead of once to activate the laser pointer and then again to get the reading).2. Calibration: [CAL. 0]. I don't know what effect this has, and I don't recommend changing it.3. Power on mute: [on], will beep by default, off, will be muted by default.4. Power on backlight: [on], will turn on the backlight, off, won't turn on the backlight.

Accurate and I do not regret buying for one moment.Wish the back was dead flat and the measurement had a 3 second delay/countdown after you press the "read" button.Can wobble a bit when you press the button.Advanced features... there is a learning curve but you'll be OK if you like gadgets.

I needed to measure from the center of a wall in order to hang pictures in an area that wasn't easy to measure without another pair of hands, which I didn't have. Enter the atolla laser distance meter and problem solved. The PRO's: distance can be measured from the top or bottom of the meter, there is a continuous measurement mode (I had a general idea where center was but could use this mode to move the meter back and forth to get the exact distance), instructions were easy to follow, screen is easy to read, easy conversion between units of length. I've only used the laser inside and it was very easy to see. I didn't care enough to check the accuracy of the meter, but by my estimation the accuracy stated in the description is correct. I haven't used the more advanced features (measuring area or hypotenuse). The only CON is the level: the bubble moves v e r y s l o w l y, making it easy to over-correct and made me question accuracy. This isn't a big deal for my purposes, but may be an issue for others with more stringent needs. Overall, I am really pleased with this meter and I definitely got my money's worth.

This this is working great, super fast and accurate.What ever issues it had previously with the levels not being level or can't display 10/11" looks to have been fixed as well from my above photo.Just put it in continuous mode until I could get a 10/11" measurement then saved it.EDIT, one down side, is the laser isnt exactly level.

useful item to have at home

You can measure distances, areas and volumes with it. It can include or exclude the device length allowing easy inside measurements of things like drawers. I have not been able to measure the full 100M with it as it seems to require a reflective surface to bounce the beam back from, which I didn't have at the time I was testing it.

Screen comes with more scratches, look like used one

Bought this as I do alot of measurements for drawings for site jobs. Fast efficient and easy yo use. High recommend

I was buying this mainly to measure my house layout for renovation. Decide to go with the 100M version (T201-100 ), which is slightly bigger than the 60M version, with a larger lens.The accuracy is surprisingly good. Comparable to tape measurement for small distance, much better than tape for measuring room size. I personally find it difficult to keep the tape straight when measuring anything more than 5 feet. This laser measure tool solve the problem.I also like the build-in calculation function, that allows you to easily add or substract length. Have not have chance to test other calculation functions, but seems to be very capable.Just had it for one day, can't give any comments on the durability yet, the build quality seem good.One concern I have that is the battery cover seems very easy to come off, I personally prefer to have a screw-on battery cover to avoid the cover fell accidently.

Nice operation easy read. Reasonable accuracy
