Bosch DLR165K Laser Distance Measuring Device Review

Bosch DLR165K  Laser Distance Measuring Device
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm in agreement with most in that this is a big time saver, especially when getting a tape measure between two surfaces is impractical e.g. crown molding. After several months of use I've found a few critical shortcomings.
I've received a couple of bogus measurements that were in the ballpark of the actual ones. While these could have been due to user error, I was careful to note the discrepancy and was able to reproduce it on one occasion. To be fair, the unit gets stored in my glove box, has been knocked around a bit and is not exactly in new condition. However, I would like it to either work or not work. Erroneous readings are not acceptable.
Another gripe about this device is that the beam does not shoot plumb up from the base of the laser. That is to say, if you just rest the case on a surface that is parallel to another, you'll be measuring a distance that is angled slightly away from plumb. This can be especially frustrating when you set the unit down on a bottom plate and just never seem to hit the top plate only 8' up without angling the unit a bit by hand.
Finally, as others have mentioned, the laser cannot be configured to read in inches and fractions only. e.g. 94-5/16 will read 7'10-5/16. Converting to inches in your head inevitably leads to cutting errors so the fix around this seems to be to switch to reading off your tape in feet & inches when you make your mark rather than the inches-only format that you are used to.
Still, the price is right. In my mind this makes it a great tool, especially for estimating. But, for that $100 board, you'd be wise to double-check that measurement with your tape.

If you are looking for fast, easy, and accurate measuring, look no further than the Bosch DLR165K Digital Laser Range Finder Kit. With precision laser measuring technology, a large measuring range, indirect length measurement, and more, you can count on this tool to handle just about any task. And with a compact, portable design, this handy range finder fits in your pocket, so you'll always have it when you need it.
Precision Laser TechnologyUtilizing precision laser technology, the DLR165K takes length, area, and volume measurements that are accurate up to 1/16 inch. Whether you're trimming and scribing cabinets and counters or preparing to cut lumber, pipes, or conduit, you'll appreciate the DLR165K's fast measurement time of 0.5 to 4.0 seconds. You'll also love the easy-to-read digital display that shows all results in three units of measure: feet and inches, decimal feet, and metric.
4 Measuring Reference Points for Ease of UseFor further convenience, a single laser beam does both the pointing and the measuring. What's more, the DLR165K has four measuring reference points--back, front, swing-out extension pin for measuring from inside corners and channels, and center of tripod (sold separately). This means you can take several measurements simultaneously, without repositioning the unit. Also, a large range from two inches to 165 feet gives you the versatility you need to complete a variety of jobs.
3 Measurement Modes Offer FlexibilityEasier to use and more accurate than a tape measure, the DLR165K makes measuring a one-person job, even when walking off distances. In fact, its continuous-length mode automatically adjusts your measurement as you move forward, which means you won't waste time taking notes and repositioning the tool.
There's also an indirect measuring mode that calculates the distances that cannot be measured due to obstructions or lack of reflecting surfaces. Additionally, a continuous laser mode saves you time by reducing key strokes during rapid measurements.
World's Smallest Digital Range FinderMeasuring 4 x 2-15/16 x 1-1/4 inches, the DLR165K is the world's smallest digital range finder. You can easily fit it into your pocket, place it over your hand with the included hand strap, or hook its included carrying case on your belt loop. An added bonus, the DLR165K features an ergonomic soft grip area for a secure, comfortable hold.

Strait-Line 64030 Laser Tape Review

Strait-Line 64030 Laser Tape
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I understand that this tool is only for estimating, but even for that purpose it's unacceptable. Lots, maybe most of the time I simply get an "error" result; other times, on a distance I can visualize to be 10 or 12 feet, this device says "3 foot" or "3 foot 2 inch" (this seems to be a favorite false result, happens A LOT). Device won't work if you're close to a corner, won't work well on any irregular surface, and rounds to the nearest inch; no eighths, no quarters, nothing less than a full inch. All in all, I have no confidence in the results, and have switched back to a tape.

Stanley 77-007 IntelliMeasure Ultrasonic Estimator with Laser Pointer Review

Stanley 77-007 IntelliMeasure Ultrasonic Estimator with Laser Pointer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The beauty of this tool is not in that you can throw away your tape measure (you can't) but in what this tool can do that a tape measure can't. Think of any measurement where one of the endpoints is somewhere you cannot or do not want to go. Think of measurements where there are physical obstructions that would make use of a tape measure difficult.
For example, if you want to know how deep a hole is or how high a ceiling is, this thing is handy. It is also useful for quickly determining the area of rooms if you're viewing a new home and are trying to decide if a floor plan meets your needs, or if you're trying to find out if the seller has significantly overstated the square footage.
Buyers should note that while this product is called a "Laser Estimator" it is really an ultrasonic range estimator with a laser pointer attached so that you can easily aim the device. The device uses the return time of reflected ultrasound to determine distance. Because it uses reflected high-frequency sound, you should avoid aiming at curved surfaces as this can really throw off the measurement.
The device is pretty well designed. It has a large button on the side of the unit that is easy to activate when holding the unit against a wall. The other buttons are placed on the front of the unit, where they are handy when you are looking at the LCD display. The unit has a flat, broad bottom so it is easy to hold it flush against a wall and it will stand on its own for measuring ceiling heights.
I rate the product four stars instead of five, because I too would like to see better accuracy than +/- 3 inches in 50 feet. It would be nice if a device like this were accurate enough to use for cutting lumber. But it's good enough for less ciritcal things like estimating the amount of wallpaper or carpeting to buy.

In the first 10 minutes out of the package, we gave this little fellow a workout, measuring everything within our sight. And when we double-checked with a good old-fashioned measuring tape, Stanley was right on the mark. Even up to its cap of 50 feet, it was accurate. For distances greater than that, an auto-add feature keeps a running total for you. You can change measuring units from English to metric with the press of a button, and it's all run by a little 9-volt battery. You don't even need the instructions because it's very intuitive. And let's face it, don't we all love anything that comes with a laser pointer? This one doesn't affect the actual measurement, but it shows you exactly where you're aiming the thing. This is a sweet little unit for a nice price, and it beats walking across a room hoping your tape measure won't let go. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteThe Stanley IntelliMeasure Ultrasonic Estimator quickly calculates square footage and room volumes, providing you with estimates accurate to plus or minus 5-percent within a 50-foot range. In just 2 to 6 seconds, a measurement can be attained in either imperial or metric graduations and is displayed on an easy-to-read LED screen. This ultrasonic measurer comes with a safe, easy-to-aim red laser pointer for accuracy; measurements can be taken from either the top or the bottom of the case and a convenient memory storage and recall option is included. This product is powered by a 9-volt battery and features a low-battery indicator and automatic shut-off. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Bosch GLR825 Laser Distance Measurer Review

Bosch GLR825 Laser Distance Measurer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Bosch 825 is a very handy device that will allow you to quickly and accurately measure some things, especially large things, much more quickly and accurately that you could with a tape measure, especially if you are alone. It also is capable of measuring some things that would have been difficult or impractical with a tape measure, and as a convenience it also can do a variety of calculations such as area and volume that are based on multiple measurements.
However, don't throw away your tape measure yet, because there are some things that it won't do (or at least I can't figure out how to do). Specifically, laser measuring units need a target at the far end and thus are really good for measuring inside dimensions but not outside dimensions. Thus measuring things like a table top or side wall of a building is difficult or impossible because there is no inherent target at the far end (so you have to add one), while with a tape measure you would just hook the edge of the item to be measured.
I have not owned or even used a laser distance measuring device before. I chose this specific unit because it had excellent long-distance capabilities (820') that I needed for measuring property lines, it is rugged and small, and it was attractively priced compared to the Leica units. I am not an expert on the topic of laser measurement, nor can I compare this unit to others. However, for those contemplating purchase of this unit, I can offer the following observations:
THE GOOD
* Nice size and construction. It's about the size of a large bar of soap and thus fits easily in your hand. Body is heavy-duty plastic that looks pretty rugged and dirt-proof, although I'm personally not going to test this.
* LCD display is always easy to read outdoors in sunlight, and has a backlight for dim indoor situations.
* Has a built-in level, and also a standard tripod mount the use of which is essential for some long-distance measurements.
* Very fast. Measurements are nearly instantaneous. Unit turns on very fast.
* You can measure from 4 different reference points on the device, including front, back, the tripod mount, and a little stick that you can fold out from the bottom so you can measure corner-to-corner.
* Comes with a decent nylon case and lanyard.
* Amazingly for a small electronic device, it is NOT made in China! Would you believe Switzerland?
THE LESS-GOOD
* Instruction manual is terrible. It's a cryptic little multi-lingual newsprint document. Being multi-lingual is not a problem, except that the device and all of its cryptic buttons are pictured only once at the beginning of the manual and then referred to in the later text only by number, e.g. "... push the measuring button 7 ..." making you refer to the earlier tiny diagram in which all of the numbered items are really hard to tell apart.
* The instruction manual is very rudimentary, and does not give any usage tips on how to do difficult measurements. For example, maybe there are some tricks that would allow you to do measurements of things that don't have a target at the far end, etc.
* The instruction manual is currently not on-line at the Bosch site, even though there is a link and page where it supposedly is or will be provided. (I like the ability to get a copy in case I lose or destroy the one that came with the unit. I need to carry the manual with me because some of the functions are not so obvious, at least until I become more proficient.)OTHER OBSERVATIONS
* As far as I can tell, this unit (GLR825) is identical to the somewhat cheaper GLR500 except that the GLR825 has an optical sight that enables you to see the laser dot at a longer distance. The GLR825 thus is advertised as being usable over a longer distance (800 ft vs only 500ft for the GLR500). Both units come with the same instruction manual.
* Obviously this device contains a powerful laser, and when the beam is on it can easily reflect back into your eyes. Once activated indoors, it is amazing how many reflective surfaces there are: windows, shiny metal, etc. Note that some of the special glasses sold to help with laser measurements do NOT protect against this. Certain measurements such as square footage and volume will leave the laser beam on between the multiple measurements required, so you really need to be careful!
* It has trouble measuring through glass, if that is an issue.Overall a very handy little device that makes a great addition to your toolkit, although you will still need your tape measure. PS. I bought mine on sale from another site for quite a bit less than the price I have seen here.

This tool is useful to the point of fun. However for measuring longer distances it is VERY difficult to find the red "dot", especially outdoors, but this is likely a problem with all devices of this type. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tool or give it as a gift to someone I like, and only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it would be easy for the manufacturer to add a sighting mechanism like guns have.

After using an electronic ultrasonic distance meter for the past 8 years, I became aware of it's shortcomings and inaccuracies. I used it for rough calculations, but never felt I could trust the readings I obtained...I'd always pull out the tried and true tape measures and left it at that.
After finding and using the Fluke 411D laser distance meter, my allegiance to the tape has just dropped several notches! I find this well made and compact Fluke unit to be very accurate and reliable. Along with its main distance function, It has a host of area (2 point data) and volume (3 point data) calculations that take the guess work and errors away from hand computations. This Fluke is rugged, has a nice carry case and can easily fit in my shirt pocket.
It comes with a CD Quick-Start-Guide and carries a full 2-year warranty. I believe my confidence in electronic Laser distance-area-volume Measurements has now been restored!

Sinometer Laser-type Tape Measure, JT60 Review

Sinometer Laser-type Tape Measure, JT60
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This measuring device works well. Since this is the first laser-measuring device I've personally used, I'm still getting used to the accuracy required to get a good reading. That is, you have to maintain level-ness and have a fairly good reflective material to aim at. It will take some readings on an angle. I have not used the extension (ultra-sonice)yet. Using within manufacturing environment- line of sight often difficult. Overall, this will assist in plant measurments where tape measures cannot reach, or measuring with just one person.

A revolutionary measuring gadget! Here's a device that can calculate length, width, area and even volume at the touch of a button. This intelligent Electronic Distance Measuring Tools send out narrow beams of sound waves that can "bounce" off solid objects back to the hand-held receiver. Custom electronics and a microprocessor then convert elapsed time into a distance measurement and display it on the LCD. When used with its electronic target, the Dual unit mode uses both sound waves and an infrared beam. This Electronic Distance Measuring Tool has a built-in calculator to add linear measurements and compute areas and volumes. This is a two- range measurement kit. You can use single unit for measure a distance less than 60 feet (18 meters) , a good choice for indoor measurement; with the target unit, you can measure up to 250 feet (75meters) with an accuracy of 99.5%?1 cm. You can get results in meters or in feet. It's fool proof and simple to use: just point at a target, press a button , instant measurement, whether it's length, area or volume. Specifications: Single unit mode: Minimum 1 foot 6 inches (0.46 m); Maximum: 60 Feet(18Meters); Dual unit mode: Minimum: 3 feet 3 inches(1 meter); Maximum: 250 Feet (75 Meter). 7 memories for easy calculations of the area and volume; Accuracy 99.5%?1 cm.

Fluke 416D Laser Distance Meter Review

Fluke 416D Laser Distance Meter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
At present, Amazon image is of 411D not 416D.
You'll notice a lot of similarities between the Fluke 416D and the Leica Disto D2 (same dimensions, same display, very similar product manual). This is because Fluke and Leica GeoSystems are both owned by Danaher.
So what's the basic difference between the two? Fluke has separated out the functions into separate buttons (area, volume, height). With the Leica D2, you cycle through the functions by repeatedly pressing a single button. Both models show the selected mode on the display.
The primary shortcoming of the Fluke is that it lacks the stake out function which is a convenience mode that helps you position studs, and otherwise evenly space items. If you don't need this, you'll save $10-35 by buying the Fluke (see testequipmentdepot.com website).
However, in addition to the stake out function, the Leica has a timer which the Fluke 416D also lacks. While this seems minor these type of devices can be a chore to hold the device steady enough to take a reading at distance unless you have very steady hands. Lacking a built-in tripod mount, the timer is a nice to have feature for this reason.
Given that at the list prices are nearly identical, because of the two extra features of the Leica, I've given the Fluke 4 out of 5 stars.
If you are considering buying the less expensive Bosch DLR165K and you are disappointed that there is no units mode for the display of inches, get the D2 or the Fluke that both have it. If your profession/hobby deals with 68" instead of 5'8" why buy an electronic device that requires you to calculate feet w/ inches in your head? Bosch recently introduced the DLR130K which has fewer features than the previous model but finally adds an inches mode for carpenters.
FYI. More expensive Leica models (like the D3, D5) add tilt, angle computation, 1/32" accuracy, tripod mount, more units (even cu.yd. at the high end). Their product line is quite diverse.

This tape measure rolls up easily and is good for outdoor use. However, the markings are not the same on both sides. One has feet and inches and the other is in inches and notes the 10 in intervals. Also foot markings are only at the foot location so you have to look both at your measuring point for inches and then back or forward to the foot. If the tape twists (as it often does on a 200ft transit, you have to bend over and flip it. When it said it had measurement markings on both sides, I assumed it was feet and inches on both sides.
