I have no idea how good this is, but it earned some decent ratings. Just in case you needed to separate yourself from your money and were looking for an excuse

Tony; I have one I use mostly outside for setting up landscaping and keeping retaining walls straight and level. It is also great for taking inside measurements when working alone. I hate those tapes that fold over when you extend them 4-5 feet or twist when you run then on the floor. You can also mount this on a tripod and run a level line around your room, or find the exact center of your space. That is a good price for that unit !! Jim S

Tony, I bought one of these a number of years ago. It is great! I was looking for a unit that was accurate enough to measure crown molding runs by myself. Also super for centering a ceiling fan or light fixtures.
Flooring folks , painters, and realtors like this too!
I wish it was that inexpensive back then!

Thank you my friend. I was actually posting for the benefit of others. Do you think $70 us a good deal or simply the regular price? My home is large, and I do struggle to measure some things, but not impossible.

So, it is a good deal?

So, it is a good deal?

Depends on how much of a tool junkie one is and how deep are their pockets.

I would rather spend the money on an accurate tool than get something for 29.00 that has a +\- of 1/4" in X number of feet.

Also, how many times would one use this? Can they justify the $?

All the right questions...really didn't need it - more of a gadget/"bargain decision. I passed on it. Thank you.
