Deal of the Day: Bosch Laser Rangefinder/Measuring Tool $65 (Update: Still a Steal at $89)

78% off the list price ($291), December 12 only.

The special is over, but the price has only gone up to $89.

I have this exact model and love it. I use it at home to measure simple things like the square footage of my room (it calculates area and volume automatically), and it’s been extremely handy while filming my TV show, for extreme needs like “how high the TV set dangling from the crane?”  “How far is the coconut cannon shooting?” and “Will the scooter we’re launching from the roof hit those power lines?”

It’s rugged. I’ve dropped it a lot, but the casing is built to withstand shock. It’s also designed to stand by itself, something I liked more about this model than others.

And it’s small. 4″ tall. Slips right in your pocket.

Of course, like any laser rangefinder, it’s difficult to get a good read on long distances in bright daylight. Aside from that, it’s just about perfect. I keep mine sitting on my shelf, always close at hand.

I can’t believe it’s only $65. Grab this while you can.
