It's not the cheapest it's been been but less than a dollar more than the previous deal a couple of years ago dated the 3rd of December 2018 at $60.97. The price has been hovering around the $96 mark recently and up to a max of $114. Can be adjusted from feet to metres (metric). Very good price for a 50m laser measurer imo. At Bunnings you would be paying $59 for a Bosch 20m Zamo III Laser measurer. Not too sure when the deal will end, it all depends on Amazon's algorithm.

DESCRIPTION:
ACCURACY: Features long range measuring with extreme accuracy and measures distances up to 165 feet to within 1/16 inch
EASY TO USE: Simple, one button operation press button once to begin measuring. The GLM16510 is compact enough to fit in any pocket. Features a back lit color display that allows measurements to be easily read, even in dark areas
LIVE MEASURING: Provides default real time measurement that adjusts as you move closer and farther from target, just like a tape measure

      It's not as long as your friend thinks it is.

    • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 13:52

      Not that I know of. These laser measurers are supposed to have 1-2mm accuracy, so they usually display 3 decimal places instead of rounding off automatically.

        • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 13:58

          Just round it up yourself + 10% contingency. You don't need to show the client each measurement

    Question!
    Will this Laser Distance Measure definitely switch to IMPERIAL to METRIC??

    • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 13:56
      +56

      Yes. This is from the manual:
      1. Switch off the measuring tool.
      2. Press the measuring button and hold it down.
      3. The display will alternately show three units of measure.
      When the desired setting is displayed, release the measuring button

          And how would you know, if all the three scales are showing the same wrong value?

          Tip: May be you need another one?

        • lestat87 on 07/11/2020 - 21:00

          You will have to update us all on the accuracy of the cheapies when your Bosch arrives

          • GregFiona on 18/11/2020 - 21:39

            @lestat87: Bosch arrived today. A bit disappointed with the looks, screen and especially with lack of functions.
            It only offers change of units, single measurement and area measurement. Only 2 lines of measurement, 3rd line is the area.Only measures from base of device.Measures up to 50m
            LS-1S can display up to the last 4 measurements, max-min, and measurement from top or base of the device.Much smaller(very bright screen but small letters), rechargeable(via usb) battery. Up to 40m
            Ozito has similar dimensions with the Bosch, displays only 2 measurements or 1 measurement plus the area or volume, min-max, measurement from base or top and has the biggest display. Measures up to 25m

            Accuracy test PASSED :)
            Bosch random measurement: 1.953m
            Ozito same measurement: 1.955m
            LS-1s same measurement: 1.954m

    I know it's quite a different device, but I recently purchased this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001321519968.html?spm=a2…

    I've only used it a couple of times, but I'm happy with it so far. It seems to measure distances quite accurately.
    It is $20 more than the one listed here, plus it's only 40m, not 50m and obviously a no-name Chinese brand as opposed to quality Bosch, but given that it is also a stud finder, I prefer it. It has a lot of options for measuring areas and the like as well.

    Definitely not for everyone, but I thought some people that are considering getting laser measure might be interested.

    • db87 on 02/11/2020 - 14:17

      That seems pretty full featured. Nice find. I wonder how accurate it is. Are you in a trade that could utilise it often enough or was it just for home handyman use?

      • RubenM on 02/11/2020 - 14:41

        I renovated a house that my tenant trashed.

  • Jabba the Hutt on 02/11/2020 - 14:11

    Presumably defaults to feet. When the unit of measure setting is changed to metres, does that persist when subsequently powered on? Manual seems to imply it but not 100% clear.

    • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 14:13
      +9

      Yes, the settings are saved even when you turn it off

      • Jabba the Hutt on 02/11/2020 - 14:16

      You'll have the best measured house in the world

      Then you'll realise you don't and you'll go buy a point cloud device for a fortune.

    • Jackson on 03/11/2020 - 00:38

      Note that this model lacks Bluetooth, and as such can't leverage the Bosch app which will create plans based on your measurements. Almost bough if not for that feature. If someone knows more about it would be happy to hear from them

  • bounty hunter on 02/11/2020 - 15:47

    Probably a dumb question. But it says on the product page it can only measure area not volume.

    So was wondering if this can measure height accurately?

    • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 16:13

      There's an internal function that allows you to calculate area. It will prompt you to measure length and width. You can still calculate the height but you will need Area x Height to calculate your volume manually

  • this is us on 02/11/2020 - 16:08

    My ipad Pro measures stuff but I don't trust it enough to use without measuring myself, which makes it kinda redundant. I don't know if I'd feel the same using one of these

    • RubenM on 02/11/2020 - 20:20

      Well, yes, this is basically the same as a single point lidar, as I understand it.
      Can't wait for lidar to become standard in phones (especially android ones)!

      Depends how far away the tree is.

    • cynical17 on 02/11/2020 - 21:15

      Yes it depends on how far the tree is, and you may need it to do it at a darker time for example in the evening to see the laser

    • cynical17 on 03/11/2020 - 09:11

      This was being shipped by Amazon US. Now that it is out of stock or because of the price change, it is now being sold by Burunduk LLC. No problems with Amazon US, but I wouldn't buy from a seller like Burunduk LLC

    So is this Bosch better than ATuMan LS-1?

    • bamzero on 03/11/2020 - 14:25

      The Bosch is a better size, the LS's I find too small for practical use.
      Bosch has continuous measurement, LS-1 doesn't but LS-1S does. LS-P can calculate extra stuff for you, volumes, Pythagorean etc like the higher end Bosch models.
      Something like the DTAPE is a good option, right size, all the features of the LS-P and cheaper than the Bosch.
