Very nice, if you need it [Posted on 2003-12-09]
Standard Stanley quality, which is good. This unit operates by measuring the replaceable line as you spool it out. Great for measuring line of sight or even around some standard geometric shapes where the line will lie straight along what you are measuring. Obviously, it also works well for heights. You can attach a weight to it and even measure water depth (keep in mind the line gets wet though). The thing you need to think about is what you need it for. Small area surveying. Foundational layout and checks. Some height and area calcs. Many of these items can be done with a rangefinder or sonic measurer, so unless you need very accurate measurements over a long distance, this is probably overkill. I have both a Nikon rangefinder and a Stanley Intellimeasure, which work great for my applications. I'd love to have one of these (I tried a friends) but I see no real need at this price.
