Laser Measuring Tape: The Benefits of Using a Laser Measuring Tape and the Different Types

!±8± Laser Measuring Tape: The Benefits of Using a Laser Measuring Tape and the Different Types

Laser measuring tape may also be called an electronic tape measure. Still, there are a few other names by which this device maybe known such as, a laser distance finder and a digital measuring device. All of these names are attempts to describe some of the features and uses of this device. Laser measuring tape is a tool that uses laser light to measure distances. Distance is measured by pointing the laser light of the device at an object or endpoint. Shortly, thereafter, a measurement will appear on an electronic screen.

The benefits of using a laser measuring tape are many. For example, one person may take measurements by themselves. Another benefit of using a laser measuring tape, is that there is a greater accuracy in measurement than with a standard tape measure. Also, this digital measuring device has a basic math calculation feature. Because it eliminates or minimizes the use of a ladder, this device is safer than the standard tape measure. Additionally, the device allows a person to get quick measurements of multiple distances. Therefore, it is a time saver.

There are many professionals that may use a laser measuring tape or a laser distance finder. These professionals are real-estate agents, carpenters, builders, estimators and others. Also, many non-professionals may use a laser distance finder in order to measure distances with greater accuracy. The device gives the user the option of using standard English or metric units to conduct measurements.

The types of laser distance finders vary by their features and functions. The choice is a matter of preference and necessity. A type of feature for the laser distance finder is that of range. There are short range laser distance finders. Also, there are long range laser distance finders.

Another type of laser distance finder is that of advanced function. One advanced function is the Pythagoras function. This function allows the user to calculate the side of a triangle when the distances of the other two sides are measured. This is the two point Pythagoras function.

There is another extension of the Pythagoras function. This is the three point Pythagoras function. With this function, three points are used to calculate a distance. This function is useful in finding the height of a window that is on the second level of a building with multiple levels. The list of functions continues beyond this listing. Because these options may not apply to all models, it is necessary to check each product for its specifications.

Dewalt Cordless Tool Set Review - Steak Or Sizzle?

!±8± Dewalt Cordless Tool Set Review - Steak Or Sizzle?

This is a review of several Dewalt tools I have used regularly in the past eight years. They belonged to one 5 piece set and two 3 piece sets of cordless tool as well as two corded ones.

18 v Dewalt XRP cordless hammerdrill: amazing tool. The first one went after 5 years due to trigger malfunctioning, second one going strong. The new Lithium batteries are significantly lighter and have a linear performance (full power till completely dead - versus getting weaker as they discharge) which is great except that you can't tell when the battery is about to die.

18v Dewalt cordless sawzall: do not abuse. Went through two sets - and they don't come cheap. Second one lasted a little over one year of heavy duty and made me switch to a corded Milwaukee and I never looked back. Also the blade locking mechanism jams after a while.

18v Dewalt cordless lamp: handle with care. Flimsy contacts between flexible neck and battery base eventually break lose and unit becomes dysfunctional.

18v Dewalt cordless circular saw: use patiently or it will bog down easily.

18v Dewalt cordless impact drill: amazing. Compact, lightweight, built in light - in two words: little monster. In practical applications easily out torques the bigger XRP. One of those tools you are skeptic about until you try it and then you can't live without it.

Dewalt standard corded drill: torquey enough for mixing small quantities of mortar! A good backup tool in case the XRP dies.

Dewalt jigsaw: pretty good tool if used with proper blade for the material. Sturdy feel, worth the money.

Conclusion: This review reflects solely my experience and should not be generalized. Upon extended use of the above tools, I would highly recommend the Dewalt corded tools and the excellent cordless drills, but for heavy use and abuse I would think twice about purchasing the cordless combo sets - unless the sale price of the set is almost the price of the XRP gun - which I have seen happen.

As for the weekend warrior, any combo set will perform well and the XRP drill and impact gun alone will justify the set price as well as the bragging rights.
