I've ordered a few others before that are cheap(ish). There are many that seem to think the users of these tools are dainty i/Apple users. No rubber padding, gleaming smooth surfaces, colorful yet tiny display fonts - what were those designers thinking?!
No, I am glad to say that this unit had someone who actually either do DIY/Trade work or spoke to some people who actually use this. And this is for the US / Imperial non metric market. It displays in decent size fonts ... and in fractions. So for US / Canada users, this is way better than many which only show decimal Imperial measurements.
The display is white on black, and its very legible in both bright and dark situations. Acuracy - its acurate enough for my use - 1/8th ... it can do finer than that to 1/16th.
And if you need to, you can always do decimal imperial, or good old metric. Honestly, metric is so much easier, but unfortunately imperial is entrenched in the construction industry so we have to still specify in imperial.
This particular model is 100ft - which is way plenty for my use, but laser measures shine when use for long distances beyond 20 ft, because that's when a tape measure then becomes difficult to manage. This is especially useful when setting up target practices (though most likely you'll use a range finder for those applications).
Honestly, this is plenty good for my use. There are fancier models that help you calculate various compound calculations, and memory functions - such as area, but really - what you likely be actually using is a quick beep to get the measurement across a room/s.
