Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If your job calls for measuring walls, floors, or any other kind of space, the Sonin 10055 Multi-Measure LD ultrasonic measuring tool can help. The Multi-Measure uses sound waves to measure distances up to 60 feet. With a quick calculation you can then add and subtract distances, determine the area of a room, or calculate the volume of even the tightest space quickly and accurately. The Multi-Measure features a large, back-lit display, built-in memory (for storing length, width, and height) and the ability to switch between feet and meters with just the touch of a button. It's a great tool to have around the job site or in your home workshop. --Carl Thress

1.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, October 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sonin 10055 Multi-Measure LD - Ultrasonic Distance Measuring Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)

Being a Professional Surveyor I expected this to make my life a bit easier. However, even taking readings from the same spot I usually got wildly different answers for example, 2.5 metres against 7.4 metres. We are NOT talking of slight differences here !! For me, it is completely useless as all measurements need to be double checked with a tape. That rather defeats the object of having it. Sometimes, it reads OK, probably random though. Basically I ended up taking twice as long to do the same job as a tape. Anybody want to buy one...going cheap ;-)

Unreliable when used on drywall. Can not trust any measurements unless perfect surface (hard and shiny) is target. No visible beam to help aim.

First I was afraid of the price. (I was wondering if for this price I was going to get something good???) But after using it for the past three months I discovered that its a very good product and very easy to use.
