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

[@Blusterbus]

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.

[@dingchavez1960]

Thank you for the video. I don't completely understand all the Pythagorean formula stuff, but for my uses (measuring lengths), it looks perfect. I just hate hate hate having to reflip flipped measuring tapes or going back and redoing the whole thing because I accidentally let some of the tape roll back in.

[@blutey]

Hi, Great review. Can you see the laser dot when the item to be measured is tens of meters away in bright sunlight?

[@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.

[@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?

[@orangenerator]

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

[@ariechocron1618]

when you wanna upload a video but your moms sleeping

[@luisguillen4492]

Lmao 🤣

[@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.

[@caoilfhionnbrereton5637]

Thank you I had no idea it had so many useful features.

[@kennethkendrick4795]

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

[@Leusiom1]

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

[@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.

[@delphiproductionsmusic]

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

[@alshihaimi]

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

[@Ozweinie]

The Lazer takes itself into consideration?

[@semsems218]

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

[@im_cpk]

This is what we are called it application of laser... in college 😂!! Great video thanks a lot ...

[@tonycstech]

0.1 degree error if laid flat on its back. laid on its right edge, 0 degree. Weird

[@TheMajor180]

Straight to the point. Quality video.

[@XenomorphLV426]

How would you measure exterior walls that are completely flat?

[@mharpaopao3615]

is it possible to measure volume other than regular square?

[@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 😄😄

[@RobertJDFletcher]

Hello and thank you for the video, useful for students.

[@arunabaliga7004]

Does it work on a room filled w stuff

[@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

[@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..

[@stevetischer2497]

Would this be good /accurate for measuring windows?

[@Jovan639]

Great tutorial, thank you

[@tomprovan6817]

I like your video but the fractional numbers are too small for me to read. Do you know of any with bigger numbers?

[@human3444]

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

[@evhvariac2]

You have fog in your house?

[@tomprovan50]

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

[@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 ?

[@paradisonicaable]

This was such a great video for understanding the one I purchase online who came all in Chinese 🥴 thank you

[@irisgraeber2684]

Thanks! Mine came without a manual and I've never owned one.

[@rozemaidcommercial]

Can you do a tutorial on the LUMVUM LV660, Actually just bought that one, can't find english tutorial. I got some understanding from this thanks.

[@zubairmughal.007]

Can i use laser distance meter in sunlight. I mean can i see the laser light

[@beasmartfarmer]

By using this device Can we measure the exact height of building by standing on road

[@ashabrandiearley7206]

Thank you! You got straight to the point.

[@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.

[@lisasinervo1633]

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

[@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!

[@demetriuskristinalindsey9364]

A fantastic job doing this.

[@Burbankelly]

Thank you, so much! I needed to know how to use one for calculating square footage for work!

[@jason3064]

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

[@2460speedy]

What is the minimum distance it will measure?

[@JAFOpty]

does it work outdoors too?

[@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.

[@Munirs1998]

Great review! Learnt from it too! Thank you!

[@beatunc0110]

Thanks this helped me a lot to figure things out.

[@ajoemar2009]

Thank you easy and fast to understand than the manual :)

[@TutorialGeek]

Glad my video helped!

[@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.

[@erwinerwin1245]

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

[@Asimov16]

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

[@kimberlydi5361]

we have a laser measure which measure distance, area, volume and height(Pythagorean Mode for your need). if you interest, pm. [phone]

[@sameh142]

Any help please I got the error code er.bl And not fuctioning any more

[@d32b44]

er= error, bl= battery low?? just my guess

[@franklinrobles572]

Is this accurate 1 hundred percent

[@aadarshkarkera]

Nice bro this was really helpful video for civil engineer

[@najmulhassan7123]

How much price?

[@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 .

[@tohnbehn3859]

Thanks very much makes it easy to understand

[@TutorialGeek]

Glad it helped!

[@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.

[@petenicezz]

Does it measure to the moon

[@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)

[@SalimEttani]

Great tutorial, many thanks.

[@JoseRodriguez-jv8et]

Excelent demostration, Tks.

[@normanklein3155]

Did you know that if you hold the TackLife meter closer to the camera than the function settings might be discernible. Right now, your video is pretty much unintelligible. Thank you for your efforts.

[@Ottonic6]

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.

[@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...

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

*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.

You need to speak louder and open your mouth when you talk. It sounds like you're mumbling. At the end of your video you learned how to talk instead of mumble. Too bad you couldn't talk like that in the rest of the video instead of moaning words out.
