Handy for fast measurements
This is mostly a tool for those who need to measure distances quickly and not to an exact measurement, as it's accurate to one quarter of an inch. During my tests it was very accurate, giving me the same measurement most of the times, as a tape measure, and a 1/8" difference in one case. However, the instructions are basically useless, so let me tell you what you need to know here:
To use:
-Press button.
-Place back of device against the back of whatever you are measuring from.
-Press button again.
- It will measure to where the laser beam hits.
- If you need the laser beam to hit somewhere sooner (like you want to measure until a certain point, but the laser keeps going), use your hand or a piece of paper or 'target' to stop the beam at the appropriate point before pressing the button to measure.
- To change measurement, hold the button for three seconds. (changes from feet + inches, inches and more).
- To turn off hold the button down until it turns off (around five seconds).
It's much smaller than expected and easily fits in the palm of your hand, it has a wrist strap so you don't lose it, as well. It's definitely handy, for fast and dirty measurements, but I wouldn't use it for anything that needs absolute precision. I like that it's rechargeable too, if you need to measure quick estimates in your daily work, it could definitely save you some time.
