Tools and Hardware Reviews of CST/Berger TLM100 Laser Distance Measurer

Customer Review: Its like a sniper rifle vs a shotgun
Summary: 5 Stars

I measure crawlspace dimensions all day and have to aim around ductwork, plumbing, wires etc in spaces as tight as 12" tall. I have owned several of the sonic measuring tapes and always had to have a 35' fat max tape on my side for those times when I couldn't use or trust the sonic tapes. This Stanley TLM100 is simply awesome. As long as the laser light hits the wall I'm aiming at I get accurate results every time. With the sonic tape I usually measured multiple times to get a measurement and then once again with a real tape, just to verify. I felt like a beta tester for the thing. This TLM100 has cut my measurement time down drastically as well as my frustration level. The interface is very intuitive, and you can adjust the units to your liking like 10.5 feet or 10'6" and it measures to two decimal places or fractions of an inch, and metric.

The only thing missing is a backlight, but I wear an LED headband light and I probably prefer it without the backlight for longer battery life. In normal light its no problem to read the display.

The other bonus for me is that when you are ready to take a measurement you press the button and the laser turns on and stays on, press the button again the led blinks and turns off with your measurement on the screen, kind of like taking a picture, so you get good feedback that you have taken the measurement and you don't have to hold the device in a position where you have to monitor the read out. I prefer this to having to constantly hold down the button on the sonic tape and switching my view back and forth between the fluctuating readout and realigning with the target and then letting go and hoping for the best.

Need to add or substract a measurement hit the plus/minus key once or twice and shoot again. It shows you the new measurement and the new total. Screw up and miss the second shot, no problem, hit clear and shoot it again. I love it. Plus I can use it as a laser pointer to point out things to my clients.

The sonic tape became more of luxury when I had a wide open space, but I always had to use a tape to make some or most measurements. If I brought my sonic tape sometimes it was nice to have, but it was definitely my secondary measuring tool. And since I would have to pull out my real tape in the middle of the crawlspace, I ended up leaving several sonics behind - good riddens. With the TLM100 is absolutely my primary measuring tool, and now I usually don't bring and don't miss having my real tape.

It was more expensive than I wanted, but I don't regret it and would buy another if I lost it. Also the unit feels very rugged, has a rubber surround and a nice carrying case that I can easily velco around my belt.

Amazon had a great price and free fast shipping.

Description of CST/Berger TLM100 Laser Distance Measurer

In the past, the trouble with long-distance measuring was that it could be cumbersome, time-consuming, and potentially inaccurate. But with the FatMax Tru Laser measuring system, laser technology solves the problems of yesteryear with point-and-shoot ease. Perfect for people who need to measure farther than they can reach, the FatMax Tru Laser turns complicated surveying into a one-man job. Just point the laser, press the button, and voila -- instant, accurate measurements for do-it-yourselfers or contract professionals.

Take measurements indoors, outdoors, and in hard-to-reach areas without complicated set-ups, ladders, or climbing. Forget about measuring poles and wobbly steel tapes. With the FatMax Tru Laser you can calculate length, width, and height from any reference point in the room, and you can even determine the available area or volume. Great for appraisers, carpenters, plumbers, technicians, floor and tile layers, and painters, the FatMax is as versatile as it is easy to use.
Calculate dimensions for tiling projects.
Estimate for window fittings.
Tackle complex painting projects.
Lay carpet with ease.

Great for Tiling Estimations
Just imagine the number of measurements and dimensions involved in even the simplest tiling project. Reduce the waste and frustration from re-tiling and re-cutting by getting it right the first time with this lightweight, portable measuring device.

Simplify Window Fitting
Window fitting normally relies on measuring tapes, but what if you've got dozens of windows spaced over a large front -- for example, an apartment block? Measuring the old-fashioned way would be tiresome and time-consuming, not to mention dangerous. But with the FatMax Tru Laser, complex calculations and production planning is streamlined and safe.

Painting is a Piece of Cake
Indoor measurements are inconvenient and imprecise, primarily because of the inefficient manner in which they're carried out. Walking back and forth with floppy, difficult-to-manage tapes or enlisting the help of friends can double your work time and give you a backache, but the FatMax Tru Laser measures like a pro. Just step inside, point and click, and the room's exact area, volume, size, and length are right at your fingertips.

Carpet Laying Can Be Uncomplicated
Let the FatMax Tru Laser eliminate transcription errors by doing the math for you. That way, you only need to do the job once -- and you can abandon cumbersome, repetitive tasks like stooping to plant and arrange measuring tapes.

Enjoy Immediate, Pinpoint Accuracy
This innovative point-and-shoot laser tool measures distances up to 100 feet with an accuracy that's +/- just a 1/4-inch. Try getting that kind of precision from an old steel tape! And don't be fooled by cheaper sonic measuring tools that claim similar technology. They may cost less, but they're notoriously inaccurate -- with precision that varies up to 4 inches at only 50 feet. So if you need numbers that are right on the money, don't skimp with inferior tools. Stick with the Tru Laser if you want it done right the first time, every time.

Applications
Use the FatMax Tru Laser to quickly and accurately measure room sizes, ceiling heights, and long runs of fencing and railings; and it also performs addition and subtraction, calculates area, and determines volume. This advanced tool is a fantastic choice for almost any professional contractor, designer, technician, or appraiser.
The FatMax Tru Laser offers exceptional accuracy.
