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

it’s awesome ! . The man says “ no mistakes with cuts “ . 

 

Hmmm, how does it deal with internal measurements? My favourite is a bit more low tech but effective: Advent 2 in 1 Gap Tape https://www.amazon.co.uk/Advent-Professional-AGT-5025-16ft-Measure/dp/B0021FXI5Q

 

My next toy is probably going to be a thermal imaging camera, was thinking about this little one. Might be worth a punt https://www.amazon.co.uk/Topdon-TC001-Consumption-Temperature-Sensitivity/dp/B0BBRBMZ58/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=topdon&qid=1674846376&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Can't say I needed the encouragement, but it helped, thanks.! New toy is on its way. Then I'll be able to check out the quality of my own building work for heat loss and cold bridging and either hang my head in shame as a building standards hypocrite, or just come on here and be even more cocky than normal about fabric first coz I can now prove I've dunnit. 😁 Which one's it gonna be I wonder and will all the endless hours of detailing have paid off?

I bought a FLIR camera. It’s brilliant and so glad I did. I’m sure it’ll be worth its weight in gold as I move forward with the build.

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.

 

Ya live and learn. Which App goes with it Mike?

The one from Bosch - measuring master. 0.1mm is daft on a building site as a 1degC change in temp makes more than 1mm change in the length of the longest aluminium gutter section (10m) but +/- 2 is fun to work with.
