Laser measure

[jennymac]

Hi Can anyone help me please. Is there such a thing as a laser light which displays measurements as well. It is to be able to measure lengths or widths one handed without having to get someone to hold one end of the tape measure. Thanks Jen

yes.

No wonder the Screwfix one is so cheap - its accuracy is hardly great, amounting to 75 mm (3 in) in 15 metres.

But if you want better accuracies, it'll cost significantly more.

For an example of one of the cheaper(!) more accurate ones, see here.

Thanks for your replies I will certainly look into them.
