There are some things that go unchanged for decades because there’s simply no way to improve them. The measuring tape, however, is not one of those things. People have been struggling with measuring tapes and eyeballing distances inaccurately for far too long, and now there’s finally a better solution. Meet the Bosch GLM 15 Compact Laser Measure, a laser tape measure that can give you exact distance readings of up to 50 feet with the push of a button.

Here are the key details from Amazon’s product page:

  • One button operation – press button once to begin measuring in continuous mode, press same button again to hold measurement
  • Continuous measurement mode – starts measuring as soon as it’s turned on
  • Laser precision technology – accuracy to 1/8-Inch
  • Compact size and shape – easily portable and will rest on any flat surface
  • Distance range – measures up to 50-Feet
