Digital tape measure

A tapeless tape measure! I really like this Zircon ultrasonic measuring tool because as a restoration contractor I can walk into a room that is wet, or fire damaged, or very large, and get accurate measurements of its size without having to lay out a tape. I don't need a second person to hold the "dumb end' of the tape, and the device will automatically calculate perimeter, area, and volume as needed. It is fast, and best of all, it is accurate to the inch (or centimeters if you prefer).

Laser measures are way more accurate, and can now be had for $99 or less, I use my Stanley laser from Home Depot all the time, it is good to 1/8" in 100'
