red dot award: product design 2008

The PD 42 laser range meter measures to an accuracy of 1 mm. Its handy form with clearly laid-out operating buttons enables measurements of distances from 5 cm up to 200 metre to be taken quickly and confidently. Direct and indirect distance measurements as well as calculations of area and volume are possible even when the laser point is no longer visible to the naked eye, thanks to an integrated visor. In addition, the user can check parallels and right angles with the help of the min/max function. The robust casing is protected by abrasion-proof and shock-absorbing Softgrip, which also renders the device waterproof and dustproof, and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. A data memory automatically stores 30 measurements and function results with graphics.
