    Laser Measurers

    Point a laser to determine the distance to an object up to hundreds of feet away. These measurers show the distance on the LCD or viewfinder display.
    LCD
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Laser Measurers. LCD.
    Green Laser—Green lasers appear up to 10 times brighter than red lasers, so they’re easier to see outdoors, in bright lighting, and from far away.
    Laser Targets—You’ll need a laser target (sold separately) to measure distances over 150 ft. or when shining the laser on an uneven, clear, or mirrored surface.

    Roll these wheels along a surface to measure long distances. Choose a wheel diameter of 11.5” or larger for uneven surfaces. Wheels with a diameter less than 11.5” are good for smooth, hard surfaces.
    Analog Display—Wheels with an analog display don't rely on a power source to count, so they won't lose power while you're measuring. However, you can't change the display to different units of measure.
    Digital Display—Wheels with a digital display give you the option to show measurements in inch or metric units. Because they run on batteries, they can lose power while measuring.
    Steel Wheel—Steel wheels are the most durable wheels in our offering, so they stand up to rough terrain. Their added weight gives them stability, so they’re good at staying accurate on uneven surfaces.
    Aluminum Wheel—Aluminum wheels are lightweight yet durable and can be used on rough terrain.
    Plastic Wheel—Plastic wheels are lightweight and work best on smooth, hard surfaces.
    Handle Display—Wheels with a display on the handle give you easy access to the digital counter and its controls to let you change the settings while you measure.
    Wheel Display—Those with a display on the wheel keep both the wheel and counter in your line of sight, so you can guide and stop the wheel for an accurate measurement.
    Folding Handle—Wheels with a folding handle can be folded up for portability and storage in small spaces.
    Telescoping Handle—Wheels with a telescoping handle let you change the length of the handle. When set to shorter lengths, you can use them on elevated surfaces such as countertops.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Measuring Wheels. Digital Flat-Material Measuring Wheels for Saws.
    Accurately cut 2×4s, boards, and other materials without the hassle of a tape measure or creating jigs as a stop. As you slide material along your saw fence, the digital counter measures its length, so you know what length you’re cutting. These measurers clamp onto most saw fences. Program the blade offset, including its angle, to account for the distance between the measurer and the blade, so you get an accurate measurement.

    Personnel Floor Scales

    Measure a person’s weight.
    Scales for Measuring Weight (Pounds and Kilograms) and Height (Inches and Feet)
    Style C—Style C scales are our most rugged personnel scale. Originally designed for the healthcare industry, they can handle frequent use throughout the day. An antislip platform keeps your footing secure when you step on or off the scale. These scales also have wheels, so you can easily move them around your facility. Because they are digital, they are more precise and easier to read than dial scales. They operate on the included battery or AC adapter. Connect these scales to a computer with a DB9 RS-232 data cord (not included) to print and store measurements.

    Legal-for-Trade Dimensional Scales

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Scales. Legal-for-Trade Dimensional Scales.
    Quickly measure package dimensions to calculate shipping costs with these NTEP-approved scales. Simply place an item within the scan zone and they’ll give a readout in one-fifth of a second. They measure not only standard boxes and flat packages, but also irregularly shaped containers such as polybags. To transfer data to a printer or computer, connect an RS-232 cord (not included) via the DB9 port. These scales are compatible with UPS Worldship and other common shipping software. To calculate both weight and dimensions, use them with a weighing scale (sold separately).

    Feed wire through the wheels inside the included counter to take measurements. The counter adds and subtracts. Wind your wire around adjustable pins on the feeder reel, or place spooled wire on the 1/2" diameter spindle. Gather it on the coiler reel once it has passed through the counter. Coiler reels have a hand crank and collapse for storage.
