The laser tape measure is a simple but revolutionary aid compared to conventional measuring devices. It is accurate to 1/8 of an inch up to 300 feet and can measure distances up to 650 feet.

The laser must be appropriately aligned and kept clean
This makes laser measuring tools great for various industries like construction, but it is also a useful item for homeowners. This article covers some tips for using laser tape measures.
Use goals
You usually don't need a target when measuring distances less than 30 meters, provided the laser optics can touch an object. In such cases, even a simple note like Post-It works perfectly as a target.
A reflex target should be used when working at distances greater than 30 meters. Newer laser measures can do the job up to 300 feet in sunlight with no mark. Beyond this distance, however, a reflective target must be measured.
Measure up
Using the handheld laser measuring device for measurement is quite simple. Place it with the object and aim the laser to the distance you want to measure. Press the Meter button for instant distance measurement results. Some of these devices even offer you customs and reading options.
Measure longer distances
When measuring much greater distances under sunlight, it can be not easy to spot laser spots on distant targets. This makes it difficult to know if you count the ideal length. When doing this type of work, use the magnifying viewfinder standard on some laser tape meters. Some top laser distance meters have optical viewfinders for greater magnification.

Additional keys of Laser Measure
The plus and minus buttons are an ideal laser tape measure. Most people will indeed not find these in need and will stick to the basics. However, these buttons can be handy in situations like triangulation when there is no clear goal.
For example, if you measure your house's front, you can walk from the corner to the light and then press the plus button for the other. This measures the same point. If you do this for all sides, you will have one dimension for the entire house. The minus buttons can be used similarly. You can find out more about the digital laser tape measure in the operating instructions for the device.
Clean
Since the device is laser-based, the laser must be appropriately aligned and kept clean. Only then can you get consistently accurate measurements. Get an ideal lens cleaner and use it regularly. Also, you should store these top-rated laser distance meters properly when you are not using them.

lol yes we used to have home and away games at various houses who ever hosted provided the biscuits😁
remember playing at a mate's and his Labrador burst into the front room and onto the pitch.....carnage
Bryan Robson suffered almost career ending injuries(not unlike real life)
also remember a mate who thought he had cracked it he adapted his goalkeeper- he removed the body of another keeper and stuck it on top of his keeper...so it was a frankenstein 2 bodied super keeper...however under pressure and crap glue it exploded on trying to save a shot
Happy days mate😃

Was recently looking at ebay on Subbuteo mate, did think of starting again but my all nephews aren't interested in it. One said, it's not proper football compared to FIFA 21. I still digress...
kingrobbo
outrageous ...I am with you
still got a few sets in the attic but did buy a couple of sets plus goals and pitch in a salvation army shop here in NZ cost me under£10 bargain
HockeyBhoy
As Charlie Sheen would say to you mate...WINNING!
Bielsa is a Legend
In Leeds in the mid 80s there was a shop that sold loads of subbuteo stuff, even had a hooligan pack to recreate pitch invasions / riots-not uncommon at elland road in the day
kingrobbo
Lol hooligan pack wasnt aware of that I started with subbuteo early 70's...ouch thats old wish I had a time machine mate, happier, simpler times
Bielsa is a Legend
My kids think it’s boring, if it doesn’t cost £50 a game with 3D motion capture on PS4 they aren’t interested.
I still play cm 01/02 every now and again, in my opinion the best, simplest, most immersive game ever
kingrobbo
kids today aye I blame the parents😁
subbuteo cricket bowl your mate all out for 10.....and still lose
Bielsa is a Legend
They have no concept of the physical exertion of Daley Thompson’s Decathlon
My eldest took me to the Cambridge computer museum, a real throwback to happy times, they have original machines and games. SWOS on the Amiga etc

This in addition to continuing my FM19 career which is in season 9 at the moment.

Bielsa is a Legend
Me too, it was awful.
At least Ole is at the wheel making amends to the football world
kingrobbo
but this game even though a friendly I saw Zico get a hattrick Brazil v Yugoslavia, 30 April 1986 brilliant stuff the Brazilian crowd the colours the sounds etc the whole experience was special finished 4-2
Bielsa is a Legend
We called Mel Sterland the Yorkshire Zico😂
kingrobbo
oh yes a real no.10😍
LOL wasnt Mel a RB ? but didnt he have a bit of a shot on him, sure he got capped?
kingrobbo
😁😁😁
Bielsa is a Legend
Yes, a foraging right back, overlapping Strachan, had a great shot / free kick.
Legend at Leeds
kingrobbo
oh crickey yes Leeds I just picture him at Sheffield Wednesday...sorry😉
kingrobbo
that was a special game in fairness shame keane couldnt play as his performance v Juve was immense
in the semi second leg
I went that season to the nou camp to see Utd play.......sad to say it wasnt that game though it was the 3-3 with Barca
that was one hell of a group IIRC werent Bayern in it too?
HockeyBhoy
Yes, a one cap wonder. Against Saudi Arabia (away): 1-1 draw.
kingrobbo
he was a good solid player
who was keeping him out of the team then? only lee dixon I can think of
HockeyBhoy
At the time of Sterland's debut, which also saw the debut of a certain David Seaman as well, the first choice right back was Gary Stevens (as in the former Everton and Rangers right back not the Tottenham player)
kingrobbo
oh yeah good shout
wasnt it a stevens and Trevor Steven combo down the right side at times....and IIRC Mel did play for Rangers too
HockeyBhoy
Mel was sold by Wednesday to Rangers for £800K on deadline day in 1989, Owls fans I recall think Rangers got him on the cheap. He promptly won a SPL title that season but was back in Yorkshire with Leeds that summer, reuniting him with Howard Wilkinson.
