Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN 40.0-ft Indoor Red Laser Distance Measurer

Well-Built, Simple & Compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well-Built, Simple & Compact...since I began using this compact LDM, I find I’m using this one more & more often. It’s super compact design allows me to carry this in any pocket or my portfolio and is always ready with its rechargeable battery. Very accurate in all my field testing. Now 40’ is all you get: however, keep in mind that it was designed to give you a +/- 1/4” between 10’ & 40’. If you like compact, durable & simplicity, this wi...

Time saver

Laser measurer works great. The first time I used it to measure th square footage of a house for a flooring job. It cut my time to just a few minutes.

Works well and usb charged too

I’ve had other laser range finders but they don’t get consistent results like this one.

disappointed

No directions are included. For someone who has never used a device like this it's useless without directions. I've tried attempting to use it, but I get different measurements each time on the some piece. Will be returning it.

I do happy with this tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is the best thing it makes the job quicker and reads the size to a perfect dimension could not ask any more from this tool so thanks to craftsman and giving chance to use it <><><><><><><>**

Time saver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for a few weeks and it's much faster measuring for baseboard and crown moulding than using a tape measure. Saves so much time coming up with material lists. I would highly recommend this product.

Not what I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free and was asked to honestly review this item, i did not buy this product. When it arrived, i was disappointed at the size of the item, it looked bigger in the pictures. It doesn't do calculations for sq ft or cubic, it also doesn't read measurements off some dark objects as my other laser measure does. The accuracy is ok, but not the best. I guess it's good for simple short measures, but i wouldn't buy one for t...

Not accurate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Could not get accurate measurements, had to rely on a tape measure. Nice features just not what I expected. Would prefer to use regular measuring tools. Think the laser causes to much of a glare to read measurements correctly.

Craftsman 40-ft Laser Distance Measurer Review

This is a neat and handy device for a quick and relatively-close measurement. However, I wouldn't trust it for a precise measurement. When comparing its accuracy to a standard tape measure, I fount it to be a little lacking. This is partially due to the straight line being measured. It's easy to line up a tape measure from point to point, but the laser is a little trickier to keep along the same line. A very slight change of angle in the line of measurement results in a slightly different measu...

Handy little tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only had the LDM about 3 weeks, but it has been a handily little tool. Biggest advantage over an old school tape measure comes when measuring longer distances, point the laser at what your measuring to and press the button, bam got a measurement. Way easier than having a second person hold the end of a tape measure while you walk to the desired point to get a measurement. Looking forward to using it on a few spring/summer projects I have p...

Great new addition to my toolbox

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: compact size, seems durable, decent battery life, rechargeable via micro usb cable, takes pretty accurate measurements Cons: instructions could be a bit more clear, just one button to turn off & on/change units/take measurements...can be a little tricky at first Overall a great little laser measurer once you get the hang of using it.

No directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LDM is smaller than I expected, didn't come with any directions, was challenging to figure out! Not sure about the accuracy, Good for doing estimates by yourself Laser hard to see in the bright daytime sun

Great for quick measures

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit is a good tool for small quick task. Laser is strong and the size is very easy to keep on a key chain. The read out and text size is a little small for older eyes however. Great to measure for carpet or tile work.

This item was given as a gift and the recipient was very happy to receive it. Exactly what he wanted.

Compact size is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this item for a couple of weeks now. I love its size, it’s perfect for pocket carrying! It’s also very accurate and easy to use, a well designed and rugged appearing tool. My wife even enjoys using it!

Great digital tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this 40-foot pocket LDM to make quick work of measuring things to remodel my grandmother house, its handly to get materials list fast by yourself. This would make a great tool for any handyman or do-it-yourselfer that don't like to use traditional measuring tapes.
