Laser Distance Meters Provide Easy Measurements

Milwaukee Tool

January 30, 2017

Milwaukee Tool introduces new Laser Distance Meters. Designed to provide the easiest measurements from all orientations, the new Laser Distance Meters feature an array of new functionality such as intuitive user interfaces, 2- and 3-position auto-detecting levers, and an industry-first digital auto-level feature.

Both the 150’ and 330’ Laser Distance Meters have 2-inch color screens for maximum visibility in low light conditions. Each features a simplified user interface that has been designed from the ground up for fast navigation so users can quickly choose their function and take a measurement with minimal downtime. Exclusive to the 330-foot Laser Distance Meter is the digital auto-level feature. This new functionality allows for a measurement to be automatically taken when the meter reaches a level position, increasing accuracy when measuring long distances. This feature is unlike anything available on the market today.

For additional ease of use, the 150-foot Laser Distance Meter includes a built-in 2-position auto-detecting lever so users can easily measure in corners, while the 330-foot solution provides a 3-position auto-detecting lever that allows for measurements from corners and edges.

Each of the Laser Distance Meters offer several different measurement functions that allow users to add and subtract values and calculate linear distance, indirect height and length, surface area, total area, and volume. In addition, each tool includes memory storage for 30 readings and impact-resistant overmold for protection from tough jobsite conditions.

All three Meters also feature a side shot button for an easier, more ergonomic experience when measuring in all directions. 

The new Laser Distance Meters are a testament to Milwaukee’s unrelenting commitment to listening to its users and providing solutions that solve key industry frustrations, while increasing jobsite productivity. All are backed by Milwaukee’s limited lifetime warranty.
