Launch of a comparison of laser rangefinders on Les Numériques

Our Garden and DIY universe is enriched with a new section with laser rangefinders. These take their place in a new comparison alongside drill-drivers, jigsaws, high-pressure cleaners and robot mowers.

The laser rangefinder is one of the few essentials to slip into your toolbox. Taking measurements of length, area or volume with this type of device saves time and increases accuracy compared to a more traditional tape measure. The most advanced rangefinders are capable of many feats and can even sometimes replace a spirit level. In a world where everything ends up being connected, these measurement tools are no exception to the rule and we see Bluetooth and other applications for smartphones flourishing on the market.

As you have understood, a laser rangefinder is not just a device capable of evaluating the distance between two walls. The multitude of options and features that can be found makes the rangefinder market an interesting environment and a place of innovation, but can ultimately prove difficult to decipher. To help you make the choice that will suit your needs, but also your budget, we offer complete laser rangefinder tests.

Our protocol is like what we are used to doing at Digital. We base ourselves on dozens of evaluation points ranging from the precision of the measurements to the quality of the finishes of the device, through the quantity and quality of the functionalities, the ease of use or the possibilities offered by a possible application. What to note, you are used to it, the laser rangefinders on our scale of 5 stars.

We have chosen to start this comparison with three laser rangefinders with different strengths. The Bosch Professional GLM 50-27 C, provided with features, connected and from the range of a renowned manufacturer. LePopoman LMBT60, which also promises to cover a wide range of functions, with a tight price. And finally the Dtape DT50, from a brand unknown to the battalion, which does not present any particular roughness except for its very affordable price and its number 1 position in sales at Amazon. Three first laser rangefinders which will be quickly followed by other models, our comparisons being fed throughout the year.
