Found this and purchased for my husband for Christmas - no more measuring tapes for home renovations!
Seems a pretty good price for Bosch stock, 50m laser measure. Can be adjusted from feet to metres (metric) for Aussie use. For the same price you'd get a cheaper 20m one at Bunnings. Total Tools also stocks Bosch but they are $140 for 40m laser measure.

We just had a kitchen designer come around yesterday that had one of these. Seemed pretty awesome.
He reckoned every home owner should own one…
