CIGMANDual Laser Measuring Tool, 393ft/120M Bilateral Laser Measurement Tool, Rechargeable Laser Measure with M/in/Ft 6 Units, Backlit LCD Display, Angle Sensor, Pythagorean Mode, Area and Volume

[INTRODUCTION]Put simply, if you can afford this device, and have a reasonable use-case-scenario, then do yourself a favor and buy this when it fits your budget!!Here are the top features I was looking for in a so-called high-end measuring device (jump to FEATURES for more detail):( 1 = I'm a doctor, not a fu-, 2 = meh, 3 = could be worth it, 4 = beam me up, and 5 = perfection ):[4] Beauty[4] Readability[5] Weight[5] Size[4] Audio[5] Recharging[5+] Functionality[5+++] Extra FeaturesPossible Use-Case Scenarios:- Need to quickly know the angles involved to bounce light from outside, to your vaulted ceilings, to heat your bathtub with your Egyptian mirrors?- Want to know the distance between you and your neighbors front doors, without including the length of the blowup dolls laid out between, without even leaving your front porch?- Would you like to know if several items from Ikea (stacked top-to-bottom) would fit snuggly in the cave behind your house?[FEATURES]_BEAUTY*First, I know, I know, a 4 to start off with right?!? She's a beauty to be certain . . . however this color of gray makes it hard to spot from a yard or two away.* Second, there's something not very eye-catching about it. The silver lining perhaps. . . nobody would steal it in public!!! ;)_READABILITY*A couple reasons for a 4-rating here:1 - The UI being so daunting in the beginning.2 - My eyesight isn't bad enough yet, but I can tell that the font size could require reading glasses in the near futureThankfully, a little experience with the device is all you need to appreciate the always-displayed information._WEIGHTMuch lighter than you'd expect. And just barely weighty enough to keep from flying out of your hands by a strong gust of wind._SIZE*Strikes another fine balance between fitting perfectly fitting in one hand, while comfortably sharing pocket space with your keys and/or cell phone.The little ridges along the edges couple nicely with the smooth gunmetal finish to again lend to a quality and firm feel._AUDIO*Rather simple, but effective. The beeps are nice, short-and-sweet sounds to align with button presses, while also being calm enough to not encroach on the obnoxious._RECHARGING*USB-C support for future-proofed charging . . . 'nuff said._FUNCTIONALITY*The first time you see the screen pop up, what normally would be 5 separate devices-worth of functionality, is now crammed into one tiny little screen.Thankfully, once you identify the main measurement number then you can immediately begin utilizing the device effectively.CIGMAN's summarized list of functionalities:- Addition and Subtraction- Continuous (real-time measuring)- Area and Volume- Angles and Altimetry- Wall Area- Pythagorean- Level_EXTRA FEATURESThe strong magnet allows you to store this in very convenient locations, from your fridge to your door and beyond, it will always be an arms reach away from your next project. Plus its obvious uses in stability, etc. for measuring with a steady "hand".Included storage box. This device is so smooth and lightweight that including a storage container is all but necessary to protect our investment. Easily could've and would've been avoided to cut costs from most sellers.Pre-packaged with a string to hang it. So many sellers leave us with a loop for the hanging string and then don't include it to save on costs. Especially considering it's already magnetic AND they gave us a storage box, the fact that they included this anyway is just a beautiful thing to see.Double lasers?!? I almost forgot to mention this feature. This ensures that your full room measurements will be 100% accurate. If you're like me you won't appreciate how important this feature is until you use it a couple times, and I guarantee you will be using A LOT.Measurement adjustments from Meters > Meters / 10 > Inches > Feet. Again, words and my endorsement can't do this feature justice. It could've easily been Meters and Inches, or Meters and Feet, or heck just Meters. Getting all of this included as a single-press, real-time adjustment is jaw-dropping in action.Aiming at a wall to get a measurement, hitting add or subtract with a single button, and snagging another one button measurement to get the difference gives me a rush of excitement each time. What was normally nothing to look forward to, is now an exciting activity that will make you giddy for the next step in your project.Saving results is pretty expected for a calculator device. Except this isn't a calculator per se, so yet another greater appreciated addition that wasn't excluded.One-press-buttons for on/off, memory-saving, option-adjusting, maths, laser measurement activation, etc. is probably THE neatest feature of the whole device. What often feels like "of course that's how it should work" could easily have been 10 more buttons or sliders or whatever on different parts of the device.This should NOT be taken for granted and again shows the amount of care put into the design here. As a programmer I know how much more complicated this "little" feature adds to the plethora of scenarios you have to code for to ensure ease of use, stability, etc.The green laser!! I'm not sure what kind of sorcery was used to accurately capture the reflection of a green laser light from hundreds of feet away.[SUMMARY]At $15 per feature, the price of pizza, in order to get lifetime access to their short list of important features:- Addition and Subtraction- Continuous (real-time measuring)- Area and Volume- Angles and Altimetry- Wall Area- Pythagorean* _RECOMMENDATIONS (NOT part of the in the review above and simply my own observations and desires)1. An alternative, simplified display for generic measurement use. Preferably a manual toggle on the side for "easy-mode". Thinking of something like the OnePlus Fold's Vibrate/Mute toggle.2. A couple different color options would be greatly appreciated and make it really "pop" when sitting next to other devices and tools.3. However, I can envision this being used in workshops, etc. and not being loud enough. A tiny volume slider to raise or lower the beeping audio levels would be *chef's kiss* perfection! We're looking at you 3DS!!4. I feel like it could be thinner based on it's weight feeling so light. However, not if it's at the cost of any functionality like the laser magnifier and/or light catching technology.5. It seems like a tiny solar panel on the back would eliminate the need for a separate pocket-size $20 solar battery.6. Potentially even better, utilizing the entire surface on the front and/or back for additional screen space would be priceless.7. A Bluetooth feature could solve several of the "issues" by replacing the dependence on the tiny screen, sound, size, etc., with a tablet's display.Now I'm off to finally remove the protection tape and apply my own screen protectors!

Super accurate tool. Included with a nice covered case for storage. Super user friendly and very clear on its read outs. Highly recommend.

The ability to simply hold the device anywhere within the space to be measured and get an accurate distance is a gamechanger for me. I don't have to clear a path to a wall - except line of sight. In a cluttered space I can hold it up on or near the ceiling and get accurate length and width in seconds. Measuring distances to an outside corner is made simple by employing a small piece of wood, or a hand in a pinch, or the mode can be changed to measure in one direction, and from the front or rear of the unit.The device also has 5 triangle measurement modes which can be used to measure (among other things) the height of a structure at a distance. It can of course also be used to just measure angles.It does area, volume, and midpoints, as well as cumulative measurements.I appreciate the solid metal enclosure, which gives it some heft and substance, and the built-in magnet allows it to adhere to even thin sheet metal without sliding.The display is large and easy to read.My only complaint is that devices like this with only a few buttons do require reading the manual to figure out how to do certain, but that's not really that difficult, and the manual has some entertaining translations to keep things interesting.

This is a good heavy duty quality tool. It's outer case is metal, not plastic. The screen responds fast to rotating when you flip it sideways for certain uses, great features. I have used it many times and it works great with the exception of when it is really cold, it isn't able to calculate distance. I use this primarily for measuring distance, and the instructions do specify that temperature can effect its performance or usability. When it's really cold from being in my tool bag in the winter months, if I pull it out and try to use it within warming it up, I do get the error message, and I do have to wait for it to get warm. This is not a defect, just a requirement for it to operate, it needs to be in a reasonable temperature range. So if you work in really cold environments, just be aware you either have to keep this warm or find another brand that works when cold (if there is such a thing). Other than that one flaw, the battery in this has been going strong in nine for a couple years now and I have zero complaints about it other than it's operating temp, which Is the only reason I didnt give this 5 stars. I do recommend this item from this seller. You can yell when you have a well designed and well built tool in your hands, and this is one of them.

The laser meter is a useful tool for measuring anything, from windows to entire rooms, with various metric options available. It has a three-year warranty, which CIGMAN fulfilled when my unit broke down and they replaced it for free without asking me to send them the defective one.

Using this for CAD/BIM modeling dimensions. It works very well. The ability to take two measurements at once is awesome. Accuracy is great as well.

Nice works great easy to use

Compact, with green light.
