Time savings: It is normally much faster to turn the laser on, hold it against a wall, for example, aim at the opposite wall and press the button than to extend a tape measure to the far wall take the reading, and retract the tape. This is true in small rooms, and even more so on larger areas. The more crowded the area being measured, whether with furniture, equipment, trees, etc, the greater the time savings. Typical measuring jobs can be completed in about 1/3 the time required to use a tape measure. Time savings increase as the distances get longer. Accuracy: Laser devices measure the true, straight line distance between two points, without the bend or sag that commonly occurs in tape measures. Prevention of Errors: It is much easier to read the digital display on a laser measuring device, which can be held in a convenient position, than to read a tape measure that needs to be held in the measuring position. Most laser devices allow the user to select the units of measure, eliminati
