You can easily measure not only the length or height of the premises but also its area and volume. At the same time, you can save all measurements and subtract the area of windows and doors - all in a matter of seconds and without using a calculator!

Besides, some models are Bluetooth-enabled, which allows a user to pair a laser measurer with other smart devices and easily transfer data. A laser measure is handy and easy to use. Once you position the device at the right spot and hit the button, laser measurer will project a laser beam on the desired surface.

When the beam reaches the object it is automatically reflected back to the receiver. The distance is calculated through comparison of laser reflection with the beam sent out. Below we describe which parameters you should consider when deciding on which laser measurer will be right for you. Having measured and marked off spots on a wall, you can an impact driver for a fast and quality drilling.

First of all, the choice of a laser measurer will depend on the scope of work you need to do. One of the key characteristics which should be considered is an effective range of the chosen model. If a laser measurer is needed for making not too distance measurements outdoors or inside premises, models offering a range capacity from to ft will suffice. For small construction sites, it'll be better to opt for laser measurers working within the range up to ft.

While those who work on large-scale industrial or road construction projects should choose from models offering the range of ft and higher. Once you've decided on the range that's best for you, think about the types of measurements you want the device to read.

You don't want to pay more for extra capacity or redundant functions you will never use. Absolutely all laser measurers in this review are able to measure length, area, and volume, as well as perform continuous measurement and store and display last few measurements from the memory unit.

More functional models may perform indirect measurements according to the Pythagorean theorem, measure angles, have a timer function and have a beep signal to inform a user when the device completes its reading. All measurements may have a varying degree of accuracy, which will depend on a number of factors. For example:. Based on this, we can conclude that the ideal conditions for using a laser measurer are premises with very smooth and light surfaces.

The device needs to be as steady as possible, whether it is a tripod or a firm grip of a user - it depends. Besides, don't forget to consider duration of battery life, different models can perform from up to 30 single measurements per charge.

Besides the main functions, some laser measures may have additional features. Let's consider one of the most useful - built-in Bluetooth. With its help, you may sync the measurer with smart devices and all measurement data will be transferred to the installed application. In addition, such applications have the ability to design a new floor plan for a room or overlay lines and measurements on any object within a picture. Let's proceed to the display.

Some models are equipped with backlight which enables users to see in low or dim light conditions. The matrix can be either monochrome or colored.

In some models, screens can change their orientation depending on the rotation of the device. As we've said, not all of the models have a socket for tripods. Therefore once you determined the scope of work, you may consider choosing a model with a socket.

One of the special features is a flip-out end piece, located at the bottom of the device. The end piece allows performing measurements not only from flat surfaces but also from various deepenings and corners of a room, which comes especially handy when measuring its diagonal. At the end, consider using additional accessories, such as a reflective target plate or special laser glasses.

The target plate is needed when working with uneven or dark surfaces, and laser glasses will help improve the visibility of the laser beam and see a laser dot on the object in dim or too bright conditions. A laser measuring device is more than just a light ray, it's one of the most versatile inventions of the present time. A laser measure works by bouncing off a laser light from the designated target. The time it takes to return to the unit translates into the measurement.

We are surrounded by laser applications in our everyday life. They are widely used in eye surgery, skin treatments, law enforcement and military devices. Have a look at fascinating facts about laser measurers that you may not have known. Q: How does a laser measurer work? A: Once you turn on a laser measure, target the red laser beam to the object you need. This is a faster method of measuring the distance compared to using a tape measure.

Q: Where is a laser measurer used? A: Laser measurers have a variety of applications. They are used by real estate agents, surveyors, contractors, painters, window and carpet installers, and anyone who needs to measure the distance between two points.

Q: What's the difference between a laser measure and a rangefinder? A: A rangefinder is usually used for measuring longer distances to find the approximate distance. They are used in golfing, hunting, and forestry applications. The laser measures are mainly used for shorter distances and for occasions when accuracy is important.

Q: Can a laser measuring device measure a moving target? A: Depending on the speed of the target, the measured distance will be the mean value between the distance at the start and the end of the measurement process. Q: Does my laser measurer require recalibration? Q: Does dust affect a laser measurer? A: It depends on the dust concentration. If dust overcasts the laser beam, it will be difficult to track the beam on the other object and may lead to a negative effect on the measurement.

In extreme dust conditions, measurements can be difficult because of the laser beam reflection. So, it requires regular clean up to keep it operating properly. Q: Can a laser measurer damage my eyes? A: Some people are concerned about the safety of their eyes when using a laser measure. The laser may cause eye damage, but it primarily depends on the laser class. The majority of laser measurers are classified under class II, which uses a lower power, making the laser less hazardous.

Q: What are the benefits of a laser distance measurer? A: - Provides measurement accuracy. A laser distance measurer measures the straight line distance without the bend which generally occurs in traditional tape measures.

Most laser measuring devices let the user choose the units of measure without the need to convert units - this helps eliminates many measurements errors that come from incorrect conversion. Traditional tape measures require someone to hold the other end of the tape.

Lasers are just aimed at a target like a door, wall, pole, or stake, thus can be taken by one person. To measure the height of the ceiling you need to set the device on the floor and aim it at the ceiling. You can also take measurements in tight quarters and across the water. Using a laser measuring tool is much faster than a tape measure. All Wooden Tool Box Plans Errors you need is to hold the device against a wall aiming it at the opposite side of the wall and click the button. If the measured area is crowded with equipment or furniture, the time saving for typical measuring jobs is greater.
