How to use a Laser Distance/Range Measure - distance/area/volume/pythagorus (TACKLife review)

TACKLife on Amazon: geni.us/2ftoA (Amazon) (affiliate link) - - This TACKLife laser Distance Meter really does quite a bit once you know how to use it. The instruction manual didn't help me much but fortunately this seems to be very similar to other laser distance meters, so I was able to figure out how to use it from various KZbin videos and I put together all the features here.
Here is what this can do: Measure distance from one point to another (like a tape measure). Measure area. Measure volume. Measure height. Measure distance from one point to another (like the distance from a window to the top of the building). Measure height if you are on a hill.
The great thing about this is it is super easy and quick to use. Measuring the area of my condo literally took only seconds (I have a very rectangular condo). The backlit display makes this super easy to read.
You can get this TACKLife on Amazon here: geni.us/2ftoA (Amazon)
Amazon lists many brands to choose from that are very similar: geni.us/WPq9 (Amazon)

Thank you I had purchased one but needed to know how to get it to work. Great job.

[@TutorialGeek]

Thanks! Glad the video helped.

[@kimpractical8783]

I thought I ordered the wrong meter and in a less than a minute of watching your video was very helpful.. thanks

[@TutorialGeek]

Great! Thanks for your comment!

[@boxerglocker]

Great video, just got one as a Christmas gift 🎁. Your video made the written instructions so much clearer to understand.

[@kennethkendrick4795]

Now I understand. Thanks for the tutorial, my good man!

[@armorvestrus4119]

Thank you it was very helpful, but I may need to watch it over a few times. You helped me find the conversion from meters to feet. Mine is dead on accurate.

[@ashabrandiearley7206]

Thank you! You got straight to the point.

Straight to the point. Quality video.

[@demetriuskristinalindsey9364]

A fantastic job doing this.

[@SalimEttani]

Great tutorial, many thanks.

[@kiabellie4987]

Having dyscalculi (same as dyslexia but with numbers instead) this seemes like a genious devise. Math would have been so much more fun to learn when you see the practical usage, and get a feel for the real distance instead of it being all abstract numbers. Going to buy one now. If I were a teacher, I would so have used this tool for educational purposes. First giving the kiddoes fun things to measure outside, make games out of it, so they get a "feel" for distances, and the different sides to calculate, and then go inside to start with the math book's abstract numbers. At least to have a "baseline". Thanks for your video. I would never have thought of it if I didn't see it. I am definitely going to use this if I ever have kids, when teaching them practical math. And also being a good tool in daily life 😄😄

[@aadarshkarkera]

Nice bro this was really helpful video for civil engineer

[@eqlzr2]

I feel like I sorta got the idea on how to use the pythagoras measures, but after watching 3 times, and trying to squint to see your laser measurer screen, I still have to look for other videos about how to use the pythagoras measures. Thanks for your efforts, tho.

I've a question please, mine is OQ40, it keeps turning off to save battery however, I don't want to keep this function, can I adjust the standby time? Thanks

[@anilkumarsharma1205]

how OD and ID of tubes and pipe are measured by it ,make a video on it

[@orangenerator]

Do we need to use some special spectacles with it? How safe is it?

[@shespeaks1971]

What about measuring furniture/objects? Like the size of a couch. I can't figure out how to do that.

[@luisy214]

Use the same method he said in minute 4:48 but instead of vertically (as he does), do so horizontally with your couch or whatever.

[@tomprovan50]

could you use this to square a form on the ground all at the same height?

[@jason3064]

Hey how do you calibrate this device if the measurements are off

[@mharpaopao3615]

is it possible to measure volume other than regular square?

[@delphiproductionsmusic]

does it include the length of the measure or do you have to add it on

[@YuvakTuladhar]

I bought this laser tape based on many reviews like yours but I am very disappointed that no one has been able to show how to calibrate it and yet everyone gave five star reviews, both in Amazon and youtube. This laser tape works great but I could not calibrate. Instruction manual is poorly written. I would appreciate if you can show how to calibrate it or if not please mention that in your review so that people like me won't go and buy it. It works great for now but what to do when I need to calibrate?

[@hurcules57]

Ditto

[@lynxfx]

Based on other reviews I've seen you can't calibrate it. Probably why the unit is half or a quarter the cost of a professional unit.

[@Ozweinie]

The Lazer takes itself into consideration?

[@levq21]

Thank you for the video, it was easier to understand when you using the paper box to demonstrate. You lost me as the POV.

[@TutorialGeek]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@JAFOpty]

does it work outdoors too?

[@tribulationprepper787]

It seems like a tripod mounting bracket would make this device much more accurate. ALSO This device is one of the few available in the US that will measure in meters.

[@luisy214]

Just got a Craftsman 65ft laser measurer and it has meters as well 👍 (in the US)

[@lynettegarner3696]

My tacklife was working perfectly and I've used these devices for years (I'm a real estate broker), however, I can't get it to read my measurement on the screen any longer. I've changed the battery, but it doesn't show the measurements. The screen shows everything else and I've done all I know to clear it, reset it, and trying to just measure a simple length of a room...no luck. Any solutions or ideas?

[@tedrees5989]

How about the memory function?

[@arunabaliga7004]

Does it work on a room filled w stuff

[@Leusiom1]

Who here’s watching this video because they don’t know what this is and this is in their assignment ☝️

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

[@takanome9116]

Tq sir

[@alshihaimi]

Is that helpful to take size of windows and doors??

[@dotnetdevni]

Do they take into account the size of the measuring device or must you take its length off the box.

[@aaroninclub]

you can choose to measure from the bottom of the device (most accurate of course), OR from the front. There’s a symbol that has an L shape on the right side which indicates this, accompanied with a laser shape..

[@biggim3265]

yeah but it's so much harder from wall to wall as you need to align your bubbles to make sure it's straight otherwise you get a different result each time. Be great if you could show that. Thanks

[@georgeharvey4304]

Tape measure has the same problem.

[@2460speedy]

What is the minimum distance it will measure?

[@Engineersupply]

Buy Laser Measures here www.engineersupply.com/laser-measurers.aspx

[@yofadhli]

So it also records the wall behind the device? or it takes into account the distance of the device from the wall it self?

[@lisasinervo1633]

You can choose which location the device uses as the starting point, back or front of device.

[@human3444]

Hello. Does this laser meter work when the weather is foggy? Thanks

[@evhvariac2]

You have fog in your house?

[@fishpaleryder393]

So does it measure the distance from the tip of the device or the bottom of it? Because this is like 7-8cm by itself only.

[@joekaye508]

That's what I wanted to know as well - the first example in the box shows that it measures from the base of the unit

[@fishpaleryder393]

@@joekaye508 I figured it out. You can select the reference point whether to measure from top or bottom of the device and will adjust automatically. Some devices actually have 3 reference points including one that is in the middle of the device.

[@joekaye9006]

Moyd Wathiqi ah that’s good to know thanks!

[@oldi184]

It got feet, meters, different unit from meters. :-) Hehe

[@cochetchristiane6067]

je n'ai pas aimé car il ne donne pas toutes les utilisations pour le calcul m2 par exemple j'ai un mode emploi quand anglais, je m'attendais avec plus de tutos dommage .

[@razvanafloarei6256]

I have a problem. I have a very capable Laser Meter, but on long distances (8+ meters) it tends to measure faulty. I have to recheck with a standard Measuring Tape. I don't think it's the device, I think it's the technique.

[@jialungong6142]

hi friend are you interested in a new free laser distance measure ?

[@robertgeorgemiller278]

When we measure the length between spaces .... are we to simply assume the appliance is held perfectly horizontal - because an angle will give a false reading. ????

[@BenjamesGo]

There is a level on the side of the device which you must check (i.e. if the bubble is on the center) when measuring horizontal distances to ensure accuracy.

[@robertgeorgemiller278]

@@BenjamesGo okay thanks

could one measure just how long a piece of wood is, or is it only for measuring houses

You could only measure a block of wood if you had a block at the end of the wood. just get a square block to stick at the end and it will work

It's not german made. Do you want a laser measure? You can contact me. Email: [e-mail]

*Everything* is made in China (but not particularly _designed_ there) even if the company is from different nationality, and that's because of the cheap labor.

2 inches difference and he says "that's really close". Depends on how accurate you need to be.. Yes, you didn't really try and be accurate when doing your measurements so I'll give it a pass.

[@roncooke2188]

Music A terrible distraction had to switch off

[@LeslieJayBoschPhoto]

if you stick your laser against the wall like you did, you're not measuring the length of the device, it measures from the point of the laser. So it can not be the same as the measure tape.

[@TutorialGeek]

Most laser distance meters can be configured to measure the distance from the front or back of the device. The meter is configured to know how long the device is. This meter measures from the back of the device by default.

[@MichelleBelan]

And the device has a button that lets you change it should you not want to account for the length of the device for some reason...
