Hi,
Ever since a surveyor came around to measure up our house when were
selling it I've quite fancied getting the wee laser measuring gadget that he
used. I've now got around to look at price ranges and they seem to be
'quite expensive' for a lazy amateur like me. Are there any variations of
these measurers that are sub £50 ? There seems to be a gap in the market
between using bog standard tape measures and the £200.00 lasers and I just
wondered if anyone had filled it with something a little less expensive.

Only the ultasonic ones, and they are good to only about 1%. The lasers
are good to +/- 3mm or better in 61 metres. 1/8" in 200 feet - which at
distance more than about a foot is a lot better.
