This has become one of the most useful items in my toolbox. First of all, it is very highly accurate. I get consistent measurements within 1/16 over a known distance (per my metal tape). It easily allows you to switch between 3' 6 1/8" - 42 1/8" - or 42.125" However, when you assign any measurement to memory, it becomes a decimal 42.125" It does not add them as fractions. This gets annoying, since my powertools don't let me do much with a random decimal. It easily gives you 130 feet in range, and the minimum is about 6 in.
My beam is straight as an arrow (someone said theirs shot off at an angle).
It is durable and comes with a nice case.
I like the ability to have it calculate area and volume, although it is limited to rectangles - can't do odd shaped rooms.
It would have been nice to have a backlight option for the screen.
It doesn't replace a tapemeasure - which is needed when measuring something flat. For example, this won't do much to help you mark off a 2x4.
When I first got it, I must have spent 30 minutes just measuring lots of random stuff. It is a lot of fun.
I used it to shoot from my floor to ceiling to see how straight my floors are. (not bad - less than 1/4" difference from one side of the room to another!)
