Difficult to use for everyday projects.

Very good product

My husband loved this gift. He was so excited that it calculated Pythagorean theorem...while I had to Google that, it made him very happy.

I love this thing. Laser measurer. It’s sturdy and has such cool features.

I have taken on a liking for diy around the house and saw the need for a tape measure. I didnt just want those old fashioned kind so i opted to get his instead and trust me i have been showoff since. i like to show it off on professionals especially measuring precise distances using the laser. it is multifunctional but easy to use even for a newbie like myself. i do however wish the tape itself was a bit longer but overall i am happy with my purchase.

I confess that I was unaware that there exist tape measures that know how to work the Pythagorean theorem. But it's a good thing there are, because I had not thought about old Pythagoras since high school, and I long ago forgot what he did. But now I have a tape measure that remembers for me.This is a remarkably versatile tool that seems essential for painting, buying rugs, etc. where you have to estimate things based on distance or square footage. Also anyone shopping for a new house or apartment who needs to measure the rooms. It's especially good for those, like me, who live alone and did not think to teach the dog how to hold the far end of a tape measure.With this device, instead of letting the tape measure out across the floor of a room, you stand in the corner, point the device at one wall, and push the button. Point at the other wall, push the button again, and presto: in under 5 seconds you know how many square feet are in the room. You could also point at the ceiling, push the button a third time, and find out how many cubic feet are in the room.A "units" button lets you switch the display from feet to inches or meters. The device remembers your preference from one use to the next. If you set it to feet, it won't surprise you by being in meters the next time you turn it on.The internal battery is charged via a standard USB-C port. A short cable is included. There is a 'battery' icon on the LCD display that shows how much charge the battery has left.This device is very capable and does a lot of things. It is not simple. I doubt many people will remember what all the buttons do unless they are fairly frequent users, so this is one where you'll want to keep the instruction booklet handy.As usual, there is a tradeoff here between price and accuracy. This device is less than half the price of the professional-grade laser tape measures. Some of those boast accuracy to 1/16th of an inch. They also cost more than a hundred dollars. The test I ran on this device was to repeatedly measure the number of inches from my desk to a wall that's about nine feet away. I just held the device steady and pushed the 'measure' button repeatedly. If this device were perfect, I would have gotten the same number of inches every time. But I didn't get that. The numbers varied by about one inch over the course of ten measurements. That's plenty accurate for most household uses like figuring out how big a rug you need for a room. It's not accurate enough to use to saw lumber for a woodworking project.

Awesome tape measure only thing the 1/8 1/4 1/2 and so one markings are on the bottom portion of the tape measure wish it was on both sides other than that very well made changing my review to one star after using it for a day at work and well dropping it a couple times the Lazer stopped being received it still did every thing but never showed the distance by Lazer
