Laser Distance Measure

Seanieke

Hey all, just looking for advice on buying one of these for pricing up jobs.

Just wondering what you have and what you think of it. I was looking at http://www.toolstop.co.uk/makita-ld060p-laser-distance-measure-p6744 but only based on the fact all my tools are Makita. I'm open to suggestions. But in around that price range.

Thanks

and ill move this to the prices forum as its more applicable

I have the Stanley Laser measure, (with Leica inside)

I don't see the point in buying the Makita one, as it will not be any more accurate.

Leica all the way. Best on the market by far. http://www.leica-geosystems.com/en/Laser-Distancemeter_5061.htm

I had the Lecia D2 today on trial but once I went outside it wasn't worth jack!?

So I was thinking of buying Fluke one tomorrow based on price, availability and it SHOULD be rugged and says it works outside.

I have a leica Disto D3 old model and it works perfectly inside and out within reason. I had a stanley previously and it was not as accurite as it worked on sonar instead of laser.

All sonar measures are rubbish.
The Stanley I linked to above has the important Leica Geosytems powering it....but for a fraction of the price of the Leica models
