That is nice - some trades that would be a hot tool to have.

Jeeze! I read your subject as "Exotic [dancer] would like to have [sex] toy".

Feeling a little deprived lately are you? :)

For those that can use the capabilities, it is $500 well spent. For the most of us, nifty toy. I wonder what the learning curve is to learn all the features.

Basic geometry, trig and algebra. Obviously, a competent knowledge of what these mathematics do and which one is needed for the next step to calculate a problem is needed. A grade 12 mathematics refresher course would be needed, unless they learn this stuff earlier these days.

I could use one of those, but I fear the price. Oh, "only" $500!

Cool, but for me this would probably fall into the "last dumb ass purchase category" for lack of use... ;~)

No problem. Just wait a few years and its capabilities will be integrated into a $9.95 watch with voice control. Electronics is the one thing that gets cheaper every day.

I have a Bosch version. Not as many features but the ones I need are there. Very accurate a under $100.00.

Just think how many lives will be saved if you don't have to climb around measuring things with tape... Cheap at half the price I say... Perhaps we can get the government to mandate every man woman and child buy one, before the rest of us get stuck paying for [their] broken legs, heads full of mush, and other easily preventable events.

My usual flooring sub has had a Leica for a while. Showed it to me about a year ago ... said he paid just North of $300 for it.

Just last week he gave me a bid on sanding and refinishing four rooms of hardwood flooring in a house for a remodel bid ... he was in the house less than five minutes, and his bid was in my email within an hour.

roll these days.

So this is what it's come down to eh? Your daily life revolves around complaining about SawStop.

Get a life. Wait!! My apologies, you have a life. It's called Jack and the SawStop. Book to appear soon. Perhaps Jack can get the US government to mandate it as required reading for school children nation wide.

How accurate are regular laser range finders? IIRC, this one would accurately record a distance of 200 meters to +/- a millimeter. The regular laser range finders couldn't do that the last time I looked at one.

I installed a bar top for a client a cpl of years back and he was watching something on his Panasonic plasma from a looong time ago. He paid $ 9,000 for a 720p. I'm guessing it was a 50" or thereabouts. NINE frickin' G's...

Yea haven't ever looked at them since I have no need to do estimating.
