Pro Tool Reviews: Nothing truly outpaces a laser distance measure when it comes to taking quick, accurate measurements. They come in a wide range of working distances and feature sets that can allow you to calculate area, volume, and even store measurements. But now, companies like Mileseey are raising the bar to fit a wider range of applications.

I love my laser disto—it’s truly one of the most useful measurement tools in my toolbox. It makes taking long measurements up in the air or in places where getting a straight line from one point to another difficult, incredibly easy. Milessey seems to have made this already useful tool even better by allowing you to measure a wall from one point with two simple clicks and just like that, you’ve got the length. It also measures volume and area, which most do now; but worth mentioning. It would be awesome if it could measure arc length, though. While other distos are available at a cheaper price, I truly think this one offers the functionality that a professional looks for at a fairly reasonable cost. I also like the green laser, since it’s usually brighter and saves a lot of frustration when trying to hit a 1” x 1” square with a laser you can barely see 60 feet away. Often when I’m using this tool, I’m aiming up into bright lights shining directly in my eyes. In those situations, the brighter the laser, the easier it is to see.
I've never personally used any laser measurement tools, but this article definitely makes me wanna look into getting them. I'm just worried about the level of accuracy for tools like these like if you point them at the wrong spot, what are the chances that you accidentally get the wrong measurement or point, it just seems kinda difficult to use sometimes and if you angle it, then chances are the measurement will also be off. Of course I think they definitely have their uses, for hard to reach places or for incredibly long distances that maybe the tape measure might have difficulty getting to. But I think I will be looking into acquiring one soon after reading this article, again super interesting to read, there are so many tools that I have never used before and I think I should start to read up especially after reading about these laser ones. I also really want to get a lighting wrench but of course those are expensive.
Lasers are awesome. That’s just one of those facts of life, a simple truth that will always be so. But making a laser disto simple and easy to use is a little bit more challenging of a prospect. I like the simplicity on offer with this tool. It stores measurements, it calculates area, and has a plethora of different measuring modes. A complex tool that offers a simplified tool box is always a plus in my tool box. The accuracy of the mileseey in the article is great but I don’t know how it compares to similar laser distance measurement tools because I feel like any tool with any amount of precision would be able to measure within the 1/16 of an inch this tool boasts. The fact that this tool can be used outdoors is great and offers a lot of utility with the bright green laser. As someone who’s very interested in getting a laser distance measurement tool this looks like a great option but I’d have to do some more research on what looks like a great price for the S50 before buying.
I’m kinda sketched out by these tools, I just don’t really trust them. While yes, on paper they seem excellent and like they will work, but thats typically the case with only the super expensive ones that don’t cheap out on what they use for the technology components. This one seems like a super good one tho, and I do want to demo it and see how precise it is. I do believe they used really good components that won’t lie to your face, so I am sure this one works, I am just curious on how well it actually works and if it is wrong quite often. Yes, they do market it as always working and super super precise, however, anyone can claim that, and when they do it’s typically wrong and them lying to you in order for you to buy the thing, realize it doesn’t work, and just feel too lazy to return it. I think with this one I’ll be going to Home Depot and buying one.
Everyone knows how useful a laser disto is. Even without all the bonus features that this particular one has, it makes work so easy and quick. Even just using it as a laser pointer is helpful .The extra functionality of this laser makes it sound really interesting, and I’d love to try it. In particular, the perpendicular red laser sounds very useful for laying out floors or floor points. Also, the memory function and the app functionality sound pretty helpful, too. I will say, though, that I have some doubts on how well this laser would really perform. First and foremost, I’ve never actually heard of the brand Mileseey before. After looking online, it seems that their roots are actually in golf rangefinders. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be a good brand, but I think that they’re rather new in the tool world. I also get a little suspicious when a tool claims to have so many features built in. Again, it doesn’t mean that it’s bad, but I feel that it can be a sign that the makers chose quantity over quality.
A laser disto is an undeniably useful tool. While admittedly, they tend to be a little shaky on exact measurements, and by using a laser disto to take a measurement, you’re sacrificing the reassurance of holding a tape measure and looking at the number yourself, the speed at which a laser disto takes a measurement, and the fact that it makes it much easier to measure in awkward spaces (like taking a measurement straight up to a ceiling), makes these so useful. I don’t own one myself, but I’ve always been interested in purchasing one, and articles like this are very useful for being able to see what options are out there in the laser disto market. I’ve only ever used the classic single-point feature on laser distos, so 18 different layout modes sounds super impressive. I don’t think I could even name what eighteen different modes could be. Something that really stuck out to me was the side laser, which I could see being super useful. I’m curious about whether you’re able to use the side and front lasers at the same time?
I fear I might have found my first News Quiz article product I am going to buy because of the article. I have a cheap laser measuring tool but the gripes I have with it are resolved seemingly by the article. I like the higher visibility green laser so you can see the line in bright spaces or outside. When I was taking measurements with my current laser over the summer at an outdoor venue it was not useful because I could not see where the point was landing. I really like the side laser feature to make it more useful as a layout tool in addition to a measuring tool. I think the multi modes of measuring are awesome as well. The ability to have two point measurements and have it spit back area and volume is awesome. I think this feature would be most useful when surveying new venues and working with outdoor decor specs. One last feature I think is nice is that it is built to be used outdoors and not be affected by humidity because I’ve noticed if there is haze and I’m trying to measure something in a theatre my laser cannot handle passing through small bouts of fog.
