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?


A tape measure often needs someone to hold the 'silly' end, or you
struggle on your own. With a laser or ultrasonic measure, you can do
it single handed.

That's why they are so popular with surveyors, carpet fitting
estimators and ... handymen.
