Works great, would very useful for estimating projects.

I returned this item and bought a bigger one. The display is very hard to read.

Item is perfect for my needs. I can carry it in my pocket when shopping at Home Depot andI need to measure something.

Screen to small, and hard to read.

I found it to be too small to easily hold and align. I was disappointed.

Simple point-and-click device that was more accurate than a tape-measure! Many of the other reviews mentioned that the screen is hard to read/too small, but I thought it was fine. If you have poor vision, then it may be an issue though. Display was similar to that of an older calculator.

This little guy is great. It’s a very small unit, which is fine. I keep it stored in my glove box. I had no problems operating this laser tape. Would recommend to anyone for any type estimates. I’m a flooring and painting contractor.

This is really easy to use. You may choose different unit as well!

Convenient size only. Display hard to read in anything but open daylight. And powers off in 30sec, hardly long enough to record and determine next measurement... returned after second use.

Ok

At three feet it will read 2' at 12 feet it'll read 11 feet

Great tool. Quite accurate. Doesn’t replace a Hilti, but it’s great for quick measurements.

Worked very well, even being small as it is, was effective in measuring interior home spaces. Worth the money just in the saving of time. I still carry a standard tape measure in case the I have a space larger than the 40 foot max.

I bought this one for the rechargable USB option, this keeps giving me fault readings, I returned and got a different one.

Very nice tool. Simple to use. Great for convenience.

Worked very good. Accurate.

Easy to use and rechargeable

This laser tape is limited to measurements under 40-feet. And that is it's only con, the pros are everything else: size, price, quality, etc. This laser tape can fit in the watch pocket of my jeans and be there when I need it. Highly recomend.

Overall, it's okay - accuracy is somewhat questionable, but it's definitely better / easier to use than a tape measure for certain applications. PROS - It's rechargeable, and the built-in battery means that it's extremely lightweight - It's durable - I've dropped it a few times, and not a scratch. You can see from the picture that the edges and corners are rubberized - It charges quickly - I think maybe 30-60 minutes is all it took to get back from 0 to 100% CONS - It's REALLY hard to see the fractions - it's so close to the right edge of the screen that you need to have direct light shining on it, and the numbers are TINY - The battery doesn't last very long. I used it to measure the lengths of the studs to frame my basement walls, and it lasted maybe a few hours before going out - It's so small - it can be a pro and a con, but it's somewhat awkward holding it in your finger tips. When I was using it to measure the stud lengths, I had to use both hands - one to hold it steady, and the other to press the button - It doesn't display live distances - meaning, it shows the laser and just a blank screen, then when you press the button, it shows you the distance. The Bosch one I had before this showed the live distances, which can be useful as you lock in the coordinates of something. Also, pressing the button sometimes moves the measurer, so your accuracy will vary

Small and convenient when needing a quick measurement indoors. Didn't find it as useful outdoors as inside. Also found it to be inaccurate between 1/8" to 1/4" to almost 3/8" on occasion, when I compared it side by side to a physical tape measure. Though maybe 50% of the time it was spot on. So for precision jobs this thing doesn't cut it. But for quick, indoor measurements not needing 100% accuracy, it was useful.

Very small Line and screen is smallI don’t like it

Purchased this as my first laser measure about a month ago. Used this regularly at work as a property maintenance guy. Too small and the single button operation method got real inconvenient if you accidentally double click. Gave this one to my brother who can keep it on a shelf in his shop at home. He absolutely loves it. This is great for the home / shop use. However it was not ideal for the field work I do. I "upgraded" to the DW030 and am very happy with the change.
