HueparDual Laser Measuring Tool, 656Ft Green-Beam Bilateral Digital Laser Distance Measure 6 Units Ft/in/M, Rechargeable Laser Measurement Tool -Backlit LCD Display, Length/Area/Volume/Angle Sensor

I have a Bosch unit and it works great. For work, I use it to help draw building plans, but the one disadvantage with the Bosch unit is the single laser measure. I need to walk to two walls and place the unit against the wall to take necessary measurements. I purchased this bidirectional unit and love it. I simply go towards the center of the room take a measurement turn the unit 90 degrees and take the next measurement-boom- done - for that room. Much faster and easier than the Bosch unit. I really like having the angle display that gives feedback to ensure the measurement is level and most accurate. The green laser dot is bright.A few improvements I wish for: 1. A vibrate feature when a good measurement is taken ( level and reading were good). Sometimes I'm in a position that I don't have direct access to the screen when taking the measurement so I have to check to see if the measurement is good. 2. Belt clip come on! there is a 1/4-20 screw hole for mounting just include a belt clip. 3. When taking measurements, once a second measurement is taken, the first disappears off the screen. Yes it can be recalled with a couple of button presses, but having it hang on the screen in a smaller font would be helpful.Beside those requests the unit is build well and has great features. Highly recommend.

Works as should. I can’t speak to durability at this point because I have had a chance to beat it up yet. I use this for stage rigging. I would recommend getting a monopod for stability. Was looking for a hilt1 PD-E with the stick extension but couldn’t bring myself to spend $500 for a tool I don’t use very often. This with a monopod using the bilateral laser option got me the same success the pde would have for 1/4 the cost.

I bought this on behalf of a friend who finds it difficult to shop on Amazon, and not for myself, however i had a chance to play with the device for a couple hours. I was very impressed by it. So much so, i'm contemplating buying one for myself. I had always viewed these devices as expensive toys, but this device changed my mind. I began to see the advantages over using a conventional tape measure, especially for one person trying to measure longer distances.This device has many advantages over its competition. The rechargeable lithium battery being one of the biggest. It's quite compact, light weight, and comes with a case and a small laser target. It also supports a variety of display modes: Meters, inches, feet & inches, and either decimal inches, or fractional. Much of the competition lacks this variety of display options. Once a measurement is taken, it's possible to switch between display modes, thus converting the readout to the desired mode (and back again). This works not just for the current measurement, but any stored measurement as well. However it must be noted that the screen's area for the fractional display is quite small, and will be difficult for many people to read the fractional digits (the rest of the digits are much larger, and easier to read).The manual only sparsely documents some of the more complex triangulation modes, and while i thought i understood how those measurements were to be made, based on flashing lines within the measurement mode icon on the screen, i nonetheless found some of the measurements difficult to make. I found the device beeping at me a fair amount, and based on the icon, could tell it had failed to take the measurement, even though the laser dot was quite visible, and would have worked just fine in a point-to-point measurement. The manual was absolutely no help in understanding the meaning of the beep and why it failed to take the measurement. While i was eventually able to get all the triangulation modes to work, some of the more complicated ones were very dodgy at best, for no apparent reason. The lack of well written, English documentation made it unclear whether the fault was with how i was operating the device, or in the device itself. Either way, that caused some of the triangulation modes to be essentially useless to me. Fortunately, those were modes i found to be esoteric, and likely wouldn't want to use anyhow. YMMV. While i was tempted to dock the device a star for this, i chose not to, because there is much about it which is, nonetheless, impressive (particularly in comparison to its competition). For example, its digital inclinometer far surpasses the bubble level on many competing devices. And its rechargeable lithium cell shouldn't be overlooked. Laser devices tend to chew through disposable alkaline cells, are costly, and environmentally unfriendly. The rechargeable lithium cell gives this device an insanely high number of measurements on a single charge (up to 8000, according to the specs). This gives one the ability to take measures with impunity, knowing you're unlikely to run out of electrons in the field.One unfortunate feature on this device, however, (and virtually all others) is its red laser. Don't expect to get the stated range of this device outdoors. If it's overcast, one might get half the stated range during daytime; even less if it's sunny. The included laser target might enhance the range, if you can manage to hit it (which will be challenging at a distance). Green lasers are vastly superior outdoors, or at greater distances. While green lasers have higher power requirements, the lithium cell has power to spare. I'd gladly trade number-of-measurements for improved capabilities that come with a green laser. Even if it meant i could only get, say, 2000 measurements per charge. A green laser would likely increase the range of this device significantly, make it much more usable outdoors, or in bright lighting conditions.That said, i did find a cheat. While a red laser can be difficult to spot in the distance, especially outdoors, a green laser is much easier to see. So take a green laser pointer (e.g. a 532nm 301 pointer), place it underneath or alongside this device, to use as a spotting laser. This kludge, while cumbersome, often (but not always) makes it possible to find (aim) this device's red dot. I suspect it would make hitting the reflecting laser target, included with this meter, easier to achieve. While the target is intended to make the red dot easier to see in unfavorable lighting conditions, its small size can make hitting it in the first place, from some distance, a hit or miss proposition.If this device had more competition, i'd dock it two stars for the red laser, small display of fractions, poorly written documentation, and perplexing UI (or outright dodgy implementation) with respect to some of the more complex triangulation functions. However, these things not withstanding, it's better than most of the competition, and awarding it only three stars would do a disservice to those reading this review. That said, in a couple years, the competition may have advanced sufficiently that a star downgrade might be warranted.

Dang this thing is accurate! It gave me a baseboard measurement to the 1/16th of an inch and I used it to cut the baseboard. The fit was perfect! No gap at all.
