1st Customer Review : Fluke 411D Distance Meter-Iluminating!
After using an electronic ultrasonic distance meter for the past 8 years, I became aware of it's shortcomings and inaccuracies. I used it for rough calculations, but never felt I could trust the readings I obtained...I'd always pull out the tried and true tape measures and left it at that.
After finding and using the Fluke 411D laser distance meter, my allegiance to the tape has just dropped several notches! I find this well made and compact Fluke unit to be very accurate and reliable. Along with its main distance function, It has a host of area (2 point data) and volume (3 point data) calculations that take the guess work and errors away from hand computations. This Fluke is rugged, has a nice carry case and can easily fit in my shirt pocket.
It comes with a CD Quick-Start-Guide and carries a full 2-year warranty. I believe my confidence in electronic Laser distance-area-volume Measurements has now been restored!

2nd Customer Review : although lost by ups, it has its pluses and minuses
Fluke makes 3 models of laser measurement systems. The 411 is the entry level and stops at 100 feet. That does not mean you can't make measurements longer than 100 feet - use the add feature and go to the middle of a hallway (like the 186 foot hallway in the storage building I rented) then point it both directions to the ends and use the add function on the front panel to sum the left and right from what you judge to be the middle.
I used the 411 and found it was VERY accurate (to 1/16") and could be set to measure from either the bottom or top of the tool. It's only real 2 major drawbacks are
100' distance limit (which you can get around)
non-backlit display (only their high end model has this - I think they should put it in all models as many measurements are made in dark areas, like my storage rental)
It sure beats rolling in 100' of tape and needing 2 people to make a simple distance measurment. painters, contractors, designers,...
3rd Customer Review : Good toy
This is a good and reliable distance meter.
If you need it for everyday in-house use, this is right choice. However, its waterproof look is somewhat misguiding. Yes, it is weather proof, but this is not a protect-all rubber case you find in more expensive products like Leica Disto. In really hard environment, in constant contact with mud, sand and stone it becomes scratched and dirty. But it does not stop working ! The LCD display also proved to be very prone to scratches. But if you are not planning to use it in such hard conditions, why pay more ? Measurements are accurate enough, the unit has nice look and feel.
Pro: price, ease of use
Contra: the case easy gets scratched
