Designed for trade professionals who demand range, speed and reliability, this compact device offers 60-metre measuring capability, ensuring accurate and efficient performance on every job.

Whether measuring a single distance or calculating area, volume or indirect heights using Pythagoras mode, this tool delivers multiple measuring options to meet a wide variety of jobsite needs.

Built for precision, the device offers high-level accuracy of ±1.5mm at 10 metres, giving professionals confidence in every reading. A tripod thread has also been included for those requiring extra stability for long distances or repeated measurements.

Powering the device are 2 x AA alkaline batteries, offering up to eight hours of continuous runtime, and ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.

For added durability, the 60m LDM is rated IP54 for protection against dust and moisture ingress.
