LDMs have been around for a long time. As they evolve so does their complexity. They are able to do more and more calculations. Personally I just need a simple unit that gives me measurements and calculate area and volume. The TLM65 is that unit, it is compact and easily fits into any pocket. I carry it around with almost everywhere. It measures up to 65 feet with a + or – of 1/8″.
It has a simple 2 button operation just hit the on button twice and it will measure. Below that is a button that will calculate area. The unit will automatically shut off when no buttons are pressed. The big LCD screen is not backlit and the unit is power by a AA batteries. Check out the Stanley TLM65 on Amazon. This tool is great estimators, realtors and just about anyone that needs to measure areas up to 65′.
It looks like you guys are cranking out Stanley tool reviews by the buckets. No complaints from me, because I have always used Stanley hand tools for years. They have some very nice hand tools & quality made tools (hammers, screw drivers, pry bars, etc). They are also making more & more tools here in the USA. Tip: If you have a Menards near by where you live they usually have Stanley hand tools on sale for 15% off certain times of the year (check that flyer). every little bit helps . Laters TIA
I love the idea of those things but they never seem to work right. Hope this one changes that.
This is all I ask for in a LDM. A laser point and a distance. Those sonic echo ones are for the birds.
