If you are tired of dealing with measuring tape and climbing up ladders to access hard-to-reach areas, the Northwest Instrument NLR60 laser distance meter is for you. Small enough to fit in a pocket or clip onto a tool belt, this handheld device uses a visible laser beam to determine distances. Digital measuring devices eliminate the need of a second person to help in construction projects and enable quick measuring and calculating while yielding accurate results.
Measuring Abilities
The Northwest Instrument NLR60 can measure up to 164 feet with an accuracy of ±1/16 inch. Measurements can be taken either from the front or back of the tool, and results are clearly displayed on the 3-line backlit LCD display in meters, feet or inches. To increase the measuring range, a target plate can be used in bright sunlight or when your target has poor reflective qualities. Shortcut keys make for easy addition and subtraction, as well as quick area and volume calculations. The continuous measurement function allows for movement of the portable device while measuring and min/max mode measures the shortest or longest distance from a fixed reference point. When areas are inaccessible, indirect measurements are possible using the Pythagorean method. The NLR60 distance meter has the capacity to store up to 20 measurements or results, eliminating the need for pen and paper.
