MAKINGTECLaser Measurement Tool,196Ft Laser Measure Ft in M Unit Switch with 2 Bubble Levels Pythagorean Mode Area and Volume Measuring,LCD Backlit Digital Laser Tape Measure Distance Meter Device

I don’t know how I lived before this tool. This tool makes measuring long distances easy. I always struggled before with ape measure. This makes job easy. Had for several months and still works good, no issues. Quality product.

I have used many of the laser measuring devices. Most do not have fractional inches, only decimal meters, decimal feet, and decimal inches. Most do not list feet and inches. This one has feet, inches, fractional inches (16th of an inch.) Will see how she holds up but very impressive so far. And my kitties love the laser.

Ok It works and wish I had when I remodeled my bathroom, but will use it when I rebuild my garage.Only issue is, you got to wait for it to turn off. Or as I do I pop off the back and battery.Instructions not clear on turning it off, but pressing off button over 2 seconds does send it into continuous measure mode, it will not turn it off.To me saving battery time is important and preffer not to wait 3 minutes for it to turn off on its own.Other than that, Im happy with itYes

Arrived with dead batteries and a waste of my time to have to go to the store to get some before I could get to work. Terrible QC. I wonder what else is not up to spec but so far it is working fine. Serious inconvenience im my situation though.

Built good, fast and reliable, very easy to use and accuracy most of the time

Works ok if used inside to measure a distance from one wall to another.But outside the laser beam is inoperable and only reads error, so kind of useless for what I need it for.

Easy to use and good quality for the price.

I thought it would be cool to compare the Makingtec Laser Measuring tool to my older Stanley TLM99 laser measuring device.The Makingtec comes with batteries (although cheap ones; I put alkalines in instead) and a nice nylon case. It is MUCH easier to read than the Stanley - the backlight is bright.The Stanley is, well, old. You can still buy them, but mine is nearly ten years old.The Makingtec can show many types of units. It seems to be simple to switch them, but I had trouble getting it into feet-inches. (I succeeded eventually.)I took a wide variety of measurements. The two devices were within about 3/16ths of each other. The Makingtec was more consistent than the Stanley; the Stanley might vary by an eighth in the same place on consecutive measurements of 10+ feet. Interestingly, the Makingtec is also better aligned; on a flat surface, both point a bit high, but the Stanley points higher, which may explain why it often measures a bit higher than the Makingtec.So this is definitely an improvement over the Stanley TLM99.The Makingtec also has two bubble-levels. Which are pretty insensitive. I compared against several larger spirit-levels I have; the two independent ones agreed on a slight incline of a surface, regardless of which way they were turned, while the Makingtec showed, regardless of rotation and regardless of which bubble (top or right side), that the surface was level. So ignore those.There are other features, such as volume calculations, that both devices have. Honestly, I've had the Stanley for nearly a decade and have never used volume; it's so easy to calculate that anyhow. Both also have continuous measurement. The Makingtec has a beep which the Stanley lacks; it's convenient and is easy to toggle on and off.
