If you're looking for precise, 16th-of-an-inch measurements, this is not the tool for you. But within its limits, this is a handy tool for estimating paint, wallpaper, flooring, tiles and other goods based on an area or volume measurement. It measures to the nearest whole inch up to 50 feet, so it's not the tool for the trim carpenter, but a painter will wonder how s/he ever got along without it. It's simple as pie: Just position the base against a flat surface, point at the distance target and press the button. It calculates both area and volume for you and even stores five measurements, so you can just slip it into your pocket when you head to the paint store. We think it'll be indispensable to the carpet and flooring estimator, painters and interior decorators. It needs a 9-volt battery, which isn't included.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

It needs to be held level, so that the... more info
Useless, totally useless:
Useless, totally useless. For $20, you are better off buying a tape measure. This devise is so inaccurate it is not funny. I hope you are lucky like me and can return it for your money back.
Sonic Laser Tape 50 is great for multiple trades of work:

I purchase this tool for my child who's a Real Estate Agent. She uses it to measure living space for her clients and posts the square footage in advertisment of the properties she sells. She says it's the perfect assistant. It's accurate in measuring, light weight, compact and portable.
