Lasers, Levels & Measurers

Every tradesman and tradeswoman will own a trusty tape measure and spirit level but even these traditional and essential tools have been subject to a technology upgrade which has led to improved accuracy, ease of use and time saved. Welcome the laser measurer and laser level. Utilising a laser beam, laser distance measurers allow the operator to take instant measurements at the press of a button and also make calculations such as square meterage, volumes and even gradients. Laser levels are able to project vertical and horizontal lines on walls, ceilings and floors with options of red or highly visible green laser beams now available. The convenience and speed offered by these portable devices should not be underestimated.

Unlike traditional measuring devices which often require a spare pair of hands, lasers allow individuals to measure and mark large areas from fixed positions without compromising accuracy. In the case of some rotary laser levels a remote control device allows the user to operate the tool from long distances and Bluetooth connectivity can allow measurements taken on a distance measurer to be transferred automatically to smart devices such as phones and tablets where the information can be added to drawings and plans.

Protrade has selected manufacturers such as Leica and Imex who guarantee the brightest and thinnest green or red beams from their laser levels and unrivaled measuring capability from their laser distance measurers.
