Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter

Fluke 424D Laser Distance Meter 5 5 1 1

The best laser distance meter on the market!!! I bought the 424D because I've taken on projects that require getting quick, accurate measurements of our large RV manufacturing facilities. The visible memory measurements, pythagoras, area, and volume measurements are the features I use mostly. This products has saved me many hours. A recent measurement job took 15 minutes with the 424D. With a tape measure it would've taken 4 hours. At home, I still carry a measuring tape, but the 424D has a permanent spot on my tool belt. Our Industrial Engineer liked the 424D so much that he is planning to order one in the coming months. I've owned Fluke products before, but after using the 424D, I'll only be looking at Fluke, from here on, for precision tools. October 2, 2012
