A laser distance meter is a device used to measure distances quickly and accurately using laser technology. It emits a laser beam that reflects off a target, allowing the device to calculate the distance based on the time it takes for the light to return. This tool is commonly used in construction, surveying, and interior design. These meters are often compact and portable, making them easy to carry and use in various settings. Many models feature digital displays and can store multiple measurements, providing convenience for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
