Anyone have any specific knowledge/experience of ultrasonic measures?

I'm looking for a simple accurate way of measuring things like door
frames, alcoves, cupboard interiors etc rather than complete rooms.


Err ain't that what a tape measure's for?


Well, yes. In t'olden days tapes used to have 'add xxx' on the base so you
could accurately measure inside dimensions, but none of my tapes seem to
have that now.


Reckon you'm buying from the wrong sources! Even the el cheapo that Father
Christmas brought me last year when we were out for lunch on the 25th (DSL
promeasure) has the width of case marked - +3 7/8"/99mm. It even has a
built in light to help read the scale in dark corners!
