DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools and accessories, launches a laser distance measurer (DW030), providing users with a quick and efficient way to estimate space on the jobsite. The DW030 can be used by estimators, foreman, superintendents, plumbers, electricians, general contractors, HVAC, and industrial maintenance professionals to measure distance, square footage and volume.
DEWALT built the DW030 with a compact design and rubber over-molding for easy grip and operation. Additionally, the unit has large, clearly marked buttons that allow users to quickly and accurately select between units, area, distance and volume buttons. For added ease of use, the DW030 has a backlight display for improved visibility on jobsites.
The DW030 is built to withstand a six foot drop and is resistant to water and dust, providing users with a unit that can endure jobsite abuse and various weather conditions. For improved accuracy, the DW030 measures distance from the back of the unit, which means users do not have to calculate the size of the laser into measurements. Additionally, a flat bottom design provides added stability while measuring from set positions.

Thanks for the infos. I saw it in “the best of” dewalt september/december french magazine…. Avaible in October 09.
Any idea what is the max distance it can measure and it’s accuracy? Does it have any memory to save measurements in and recall them at all later time?
Thanks so much.
I believe it’s accuracy is 1/8″, max length out to 100′. Not sure if it has a memory recall.
