Strait-Line Tools

Strait-Line has a new family of high tech measuring tools. Instead of using the standard tape measure they operate with a laser beam. You stand at one side of the room, press a button, and the laser beam bounces off the opposite wall and comes back to give you a digital readout of exactly how large your room is. The family of tools goes from $40 to $60, there’s a stud finder as well as an innovative bubble level that has a special adhesive so you can mount it on a wall, make sure it’s perfectly level and then peel it away without leaving any residue at all. www.strait-line.com
