Milwaukee Tool 330 ft. Laser Distance Meters are designed to provide the easiest measurements from all orientations and feature an array of new functionality such as intuitive user interfaces, 3-position auto-detecting levers and an industry-first digital auto-level. 2 in. color screens offer maximum visibility in low light conditions. Each features a simplified user interface that has been designed from the ground up for fast navigation so users can quickly choose their function and take a measurement with minimal downtime. Exclusive to the Milwaukee 330 ft. Laser Distance Meter is the digital auto-level feature. This new functionality allows for a measurement to be automatically taken when the meter reaches a level position, increasing accuracy when measuring long distances. For additional ease of use, the 330 ft. solution provides a 3-position auto-detecting lever that allows for measurements from corners and edges. Each 330 ft. Laser Distance Meters offer several different measurement functions that allow users to add and subtract values and calculate linear distance, indirect height and length, surface area, total area and volume. In addition, each tool includes memory storage for 30 readings and impact-resistant overmold for protection from tough jobsite conditions. Milwaukee Laser Distance Meters also feature a side shot button for an easier, more ergonomic experience when measuring in all directions.

I like that it takes the measurements when level it takes away the errors from not being level when taking measurements. It has a very easy to read display and the programming is simple

The unit took to long to get measurements it was very slow. There are laser measures that have instant measurements when in real time measuring I love millwakee tools and I have almost all of there cordless tools but this laser measuring tool needs to be quicker when in real-time measuring.

I have never used a laser distance meter before so I was unsure about how to use it. Fortunately the instructions go into detail. It just takes a little reading before you understand the functions. Milwaukee always makes good reliable tools and this is no different. I had a copper water line start leaking under the sink and ruined all the bottom boards of the cabinet. I used this laser level to determine the amount of wood that I needed to purchase and what dimensions. I had Home Depot cut my sheets and they all fit in perfectly. What a easy way to replace the bad wood. I’m going to be replacing facial boards around the roof eaves and plan on using this unit for measurement. It’s a one person operation. No one needs to assist you in holding a tape measure.

This Milwaukee Model # 48-22-9803 330 ft. Laser Distance Meter one of several laser measuring device I’ve used over the past 20 years. It is the most accurate (reads down to 132″), fast (instant real-time readings) and ergonomic handling electronic instrument measuring tool I’ve ever owned!The well thought out feature set consists of a side button lock-on reading, backlit easy-to-read color screen, impact over-molded water & dust resistant armor protection, tripod mounting capability, 3-level auto-detection, auto-level lock-on reading and highly functional measurements that allow users to addsubtract and calculate linear distance, total area and volume and surface area.I checked the accuracy with another “high end” unit I own and it displayed equal calculations over an interior 40 ft range of measurements! In full sunlight, the bright laser can only be seen in the shadows and the data screen needs to be shielded to read. However under cloudy skies, visible functions return close to inside use and was able to take property measurements (150ft) referencing a neighbors white vinyl fence…nice!

I bought a laser distance meter a few years back, mostly on a whim, never really thinking that I would use it as much as I have or like it as much as I do. Measuring a room for carpet or tile takes seconds. Same with measuring for gutters — and no need to bribe the wife to come out in the cold and get up on the ladder to hold the other end of the tape.That said, my god have these things come a long way. There are still features on my Bosch GLM 80 that I can’t figure out how to use. This new model from Milwaukee really represents a huge leap forward, both in function and usability. It has a backlit color screen and simple, easy-to-read menus. It defaults to continuous, real-time measurements, and you just push the button to save the measurement. It automatically detects when you flip out the lever to take a measurement in a corner, and adjusts accordingly. It is water, dust, and shock resistant. It has a level bar along the side of the display that shows a green dot when the device is level (it also shows angles in degrees), and it has a tremendously useful auto-level feature that locks in a measurement automatically when the meter reaches level (just press and hold the function [OK] button). It can store 30 measurements in memory, and it can calculate length, surface area, total area, volume, or indirect height/length (using the built-in digital level to calculate the angle of the hypotenuse) or indirect height given two angled lengths. Best of all, it is just as accurate as claimed, and measured against my Bosch and a Komelon tape, it only showed 1/16″ difference or less in a measurement of more than 25 ft.I have a good friend who is a roofer who was intrigued by my old laser meter but said it was way too complicated for him to use. Something tells me this one is going to change his mind …

Although steel tape measurers work just fine, this laser measurer is an excellent substitute in many situations. Also , this meter works up to 330 feet and I’m not aware of any tape measurer that is that long. Also, this laser meter will calculate area and volume. It also has a built in level so you know if it is level before you take your measurements. When you turn the meter on, it immediately starts displaying measurements and it continues to show measurements in real time. I found that with greater distances, it can be a little slower to update, probably because I wasn’t holding it very steady. This meter can be mounted to a tripod and I suspect the long distances would read quicker if it was mounted steadily on a tripod. This unit will store multiple measurements but I’m not actually sure how many. You can set this so it measures from the front and back of the unit. It also has a tab that comes out of the back of the unit and if that is deployed, it measures to the end of the tab. The product literature says it is accurate to 1/16 of an inch and in my very un-scientific tests, that seems about right. The display is very clear and easy to read. The exterior of this unit is rubberized and seems very sturdy. It also comes with a heavy nylon case. I am impressed with the meter and would definitely recommend it.

Excellent tool that serves what it intends to achieve

I am a Milwaukee UBER fanboy. I love their tools, M12, M18, hand tools, tool boxes, clothing, etc. I have been using the blue brand for years when it comes to lasers. When Milwaukee came out with this guy, I thought I would give it a try. When I got this, I thought the color screen would be a gimmick, but when comparing it to my other lasers, the screen is so much easier to see. The level is a nice touch too, when comparing the level on this tool to a Milwaukee Redstick level, they seemed to read the same (as much as a bubble can compare to digital). When comparing distance measurements to the blue brand, it was equal too or at worst 1/8th of an inch off. If super accuracy is demanded, a tape measure with 64th inch markings would probably be better in some cases. This tool will measure from the front, the back or even the side. If you are measuring the height of a house that has a deck on it, not a big deal, there is a setting so you can take indirect measurements to calculate the height if there is an obsticle between the ground and the roof. This laser is also easier to use than the blue brand in fuction and menu navigation. I’ll just say that my blue brand lasers are going in the garage sale pile. Oh yeah, this works off 2 AAA batteries vs having a rechargeable battery built in, which is so much nicer on a jobsite if you are using at the batteries die. This you can change the batteries, one of the blue brand ones I have I would have to charge it and wait til I it had enough battery for me to finish my work.

Life can get lonely. The Milwaukee 330 ft. Laser Distance Meter doesn’t alleviate the loneliness as now you won’t need another person to hold the end of your tape measure. All inclusive math computer with simple point and click measuring capability. No more arguing about who has to walk the tape measure out to make measurements. I love this tool. Having carpet installed? Measure out your own calculations and compare them to the carpet employee’s. Save yourself from carrying a ladder around to make floor to ceiling measurement. Sounds like we may gain weight using this Milwaukee 330 ft. Laser Distance Meter.The package contains the meter, batteries, instruction booklet and a carrying pouch. The pouch has a belt loop type sleeve where you need to slide your belt through it. Not a clip on. The instruction book is very good and walks you through any computations. There is a learning curve but the instruction book can be folded and put into the carrying pouch with the meter. I dropped this tool three times from under my chin and it stayed on. To some degree, the laser works outside. I have not read anything anywhere that it is outdoor readable. At six feet, the beam dot was very visible. I don’t know for sure how far, if at all, outside measurements are available or accurate. My six foot test was accurate. Extremely light weight, durable and even outside, the screen is exceptionally readable. One hand operation. Made in China.
