This device is a late 1990s era electronica measuring tool, which I bought and used during a period of dabbling in real estate. It’s outstanding for measuring straight distances up to 60 feet. So ideal for taking room measurements quickly.
Needs a 9-volt battery and you simply place it against a wall and aim it towards the other wall that you want to measure, press the button and it provides a digital number of the distance. It has other features which I never used.
What’s interesting about this device is, once I was done with it, I gave it away (several times) but it kept coming back to me. Now it’s time to let go — if anyone will even want it. Will update with the results.
