Get In Line With These Laser Distance Measures

Picture this: you and a friend who begrudgingly agreed to help you move are carrying a bookshelf up a flight of stairs. You put the bookshelf where it needs to go, and… it doesn’t fit. You could have sworn that when you used a tape measure to see how tight the space was you’d have at least two or three inches to spare.

Perhaps you’ve never been in this exact scenario, but chances are you’ve experienced something similar. If you’re someone who regularly needs to move furniture, or you work in a field such as contracting, architecture, or the like, a laser distance measure will save you a world of headaches. Generally, they work by shooting a pulse of light at a target and measure the time it takes the reflection to return to the device. Unlike tape measures, there’s never any slack or bending; you can get a more accurate reading with lasers, especially at longer distances.
