Well-Built, Simple & Compact

Would Recommend

[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...

disappointed

Would Not Recommend

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.

Time saver

Would Recommend

[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

Would Not Recommend

[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

Would Not Recommend

[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

Would Recommend

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.

Would Recommend

[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

Would Recommend

[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.

Great for quick measures

Would Recommend

[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.

Great digital tape measure

Would Recommend

[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.
