Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to use, inaccurate and useless outdoors

I don't know why they didn't develop a measurement button on the side of the device. The thing is tiny, if you're standing on a ladder trying to take accurate measurements you have to hold it in one hand while pressing the measurement button with the other hand. It's very uncomfortable and difficult to hold it still and press the measurement button with one hand because it's too small, the buttons are in the palm and not on the fingertips. Accuracy is highly dependent on how you hold the device. So if you can't hold the device steady before pressing the measurement button, you won't get an accurate reading. It drains the battery so quickly that after hours of trying to get a reading here and there, half the battery is dead. 2 small spirit levels are useless. They are two small and very difficult to see Cannot see the laser pointer from the outside alone when trying to measure over 15ft

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not bad
