If you have a laser measuring “tape” what model is it and what do you like/dislike about it?

[Adsibob]

I’m in the market for a laser measuring tape. Your recommendations / models to avoid would be much appreciated.

[Radian]

Had one of these since 2017 Had a few drops and it's still working accurately.

Bit on the beepy side at times but you get used to it.

 

[Adsibob]

Thanks @Radian. What brand and model is it; do you know?

[nod]

Hilti like everything else 

2 years no quibble guarantee

Purchased a Leica Disto D1 from here : https://www.thetapestore.co.uk/laser-measures/leica-disto-laser-measures/leica-disto-d1-laser-measure

The buttons are flush which sometimes makes it a bit awkward to use.

[Thorfun]

I've got one of these. https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-glm-40-laser-rangefinder/1480x

 

love it. wish I'd bought one sooner.

So I don’t know if it’s a genuine discount, but currently advertised with a 79% to £39.99 which is more than I wanted to spend, but a lot cheaper than Leica and Hilti! It’s accurate to 1/16th of an inch which is softlslightly less than 1.59mm. Good enough for me! Good recommendation @Chanmenie

I have the Bosch GLM 50 C (around the £150 mark) although its has an accuracy of of +/-1.5mm it will measure to 0.1mm if you fire it with Bluetooth and don't hold it so you can detect tiny wobbles / vibrations. I don't like the battery life, which feels like a couple of hours when you are working it hard but otherwise it is a great workhorse.

[Bonner]

I have this one which has been absolutely fine. As accurate as a tape measure and tough enough to be dropped many times. Has silent mode and still on the original battery after nearly 3 years of (occasional) use. Seems to be discontinued on Amazon but similar models available.

I should’ve looked at these as I have a Huepar laser level and love that too.

Been using a Leica D5 for over 10 years, Faultless. If you'll get the use out of it, a quality one is worth every penny.

 

The D5 has a camera which sounds gimmicky but has come in handy on occasion when measuring heights with the disto placed on the floor (saves your neck!). When I do get another It will likely be Leica, Similar features plus a remote button would be very handy, Possibly over bluetooth from the phone. When your taking measurements over long distance the slightest nudge will knock you dot off its target. Needless to say pressing the buttons do this hence the remote option. Also hope they have upgraded the camera. All this said, If your measuring smaller distances much of the above will be redundant.

I've dropped mine a good few times so glad its got a good rubber shrouding around it.

[saveasteading]

For estate agents measuring rooms, any one at all is accurate enough.

 

For a builder, sometimes  aiming for a precise point  before cutting, get  a better one. Leica is fine.

 

For Engineering, perhaps outdoors in daylight,  you might need a precisely aimed one with a bright laser on it. Serious money....I prefer a tape, and a brick to hold the other end tho not so handy across aerial spaces or vertically.

I really want a digital tape measure . You know like a traditional measure ( you can hook over the end ) - then I’ve got slightly messy chance of f ups .

[Pocster]

Talked myself into buying the hiss digital tape measure . Will report back on new toy . Hope it can measure things longer than 6 inches …

[Pocster]

Hang on ; it’s shite . It gives laser measurements not the ‘rape’ measurements which is what I want !

At last, a good application for E-paper

[cwr]

I have a Bosch, GLM 40 I think. 

V happy with it except I'm on my second one as the first one was dropped and the screen cracked.

[Adsibob]

I went with the Hauper that @Chanmenie linked above. So far so good and came with a fully charged battery which was a nice touch. It has lots of features I haven't learnt to use yet.
