Laser
Distance Measuring Devices
The above link describes the most popular laser measuring devices. Please note that these models use the laser beam for measurement and are very accurate to hundreds of feet. In many cases they can even be used for exterior measurements of fences, roofs, etc. These are not like the older generation models that used sound to measure and a laser only to give you a general idea where you were pointing. Anyone that takes measurements for a living and is still using a tape measure exclusively is wasting a tremendous amount of their time.
