Spectra Precision HD50 Laser Handheld Distance Meter
The HD50 Handheld Distance measuring device offers the best value for the price in the entire measuring meter category. It’s small (smaller than a blackberry) with a rubber grip for easy handling. The HD50 performs all the necessary functions needed by the pros. This “non-contact” measuring of up to 165 ft. (50m) allows one-person to measure difficult-to-reach or hazardous locations. Accuracy of 1/16-inch (1.5mm) across the entire measuring range reduces measuring errors even over large distances. ‘Distance, Area’, ‘volume’, and ‘continuous measurement’ keys allow direct access to measurement functions, and eliminate math errors. The visible red laser beam( 635 nm) allows fast targeting for indoor applications. The intuitive user keypad is simple and easy to use. There is a built-in sighting system to align the target and is waterproof to IP54. Operates on a set of four ‘AAA’ batteries for over 30,000 shots. Also has a measurement memory with addition/subtraction functions.

A visible laser dot lets you safely measure hard-to-reach places or hazardous situations, such as large heights, factory interiors or over water, remotely or from a distance.

Spectra Precision HD50 Laser Handheld Distance Meter Review
(1) This is a really neat device that measures accurately to within 1/16th of an inch over 165 feet. So does the Bosch DLR165K. As a matter of fact, they are the same unit- one is yellow, one is Bosch blue. The Bosch can be purchased for less- in some cases, much less. Look for the best price before you buy.
(2) I bought this because I was having difficulty installing long pieces of crown molding – getting the length right. I do this alone, without a helper. So far (1 month) this device works like a charm. Perfect cuts every time. Easily accurate to 1/16″. Small, great functionality.
