Re: Laser measuring tools through glass?



Mike Smith's best pigeon dodged hawks and farmers' guns to bring me the following:
Anyone know if these laser room measuring tools can read through glass? I
am geting a flat and need to check room sizes so I can have the carpets
ready to roll before the furniture arrives but I cannot have access to the
place, quite possibly until the day I get the keys.
Most frustrating.

The Hilti laser measurers I've used never seemed to have any trouble working through glass, I suspect you're planning on using something a bit cheaper though. I've no idea whether the sort of thing B&Q sell can do it.

ISTR the shed archery squad being somewhat dismissive of laser measuring devices so I suspect they were using one of the cheaper ones and that there is actually a reason why Messers Hilti, Leica et. al. charge so much for theirs.
