Editor's Review: Tool Test: Laser Measures

by Kit Camp review date: November 1, 2008

The best tool I tested, the D3 has every feature I could want, plus some I would never have thought to ask for. It has the second-longest range in this field of tools, as well as a 20-measurement memory, the most of any tool I looked at. A built-in sensor illuminates the display in low light, so measuring from dark corners is no problem. The D3 also has a tilt sensor that identifies the angle of measurement anywhere from 0º to 45º—a nice feature for stairbuilders. It can check corner angles and find minimum and maximum measurements. Even with all these features, it is still the most compact after the Disto D2.
