Laser measures are commonly used across many industries, but they are most commonly found in construction and realtor-related work, such as surveyors, builders, construction workers and tradesmen, such as plumbers, carpenters and electricians. Laser measurement devices can typically record several points of references without having to move, allowing you to calculate relative distances between two points. At RS, our range of laser distance measure products features precision models from leading brands, such as Bosch, DeWALT, Leica, Fluke and RS PRO, with imperial and metric measurement capacities available. How do laser measures work?

There are many advantages to using laser measurers over traditional tape measures and other measuring devices. These include:Bright 635 nm class II (<1mw) laser for best-in-class visibility in moderate ambient light environment Laser distance meters send a laser to a particular point and then, using the time taken for this light beam to return to the device, calculates the distance to a high degree of accuracy. The laser pointer is visible to the human eye and therefore allows the user to easily pinpoint the desired area of measurement, ensuring the measurement is as precise as possible. What are the advantages of laser measures? Provides 9 measurement functions for increased versatility of applications: Distance, Area, Volume, Permanent, Min/Max, Add/Subtract, Stake-Out, Pythagoras (2 point), Pythagoras (3 point), Pythagoras (partial height) Laser measures are a highly efficient way of measuring distances on all terrains. By using a laser to target and record a point of reference, the device then calculates and displays the distance to that point with a high degree of accuracy. Offering a measurement solution that is far faster and easier than a conventional tape measure, laser measures are highly versatile devices that have proven beneficial to many industries.

The only real disadvantage is that they require a battery charge or power source to operate and may be more susceptible to harsh environments than manual measurement tapes. However, environmentally-resistant and water-resistant laser measures are available. Laser Measure Applications
