I am and insurance agent and I measure the length and width of houses. Will this item do that

Yup. Just have to have a reliable (flat, non-transparent) surface to tag with the laser.

Hi Jeff. Laser distance meters require a surface to reflect the laser, so if you were measuring the outside dimensions of a house, you'd need that surface. An "L" shaped part of a building would be no problem. For a straight wall, you'd have to either have someone hold a reflective surface at one corner (a board, paper plate, etc.) or temporarily affix something to the corner to reflect the laser beam. Here's some more info from Fluke: http://media.fluke.com/documents/3361276_7103_ENG_C_W.PDF

Yes, should be perfect (provided no dimension is too long) - you may need to place an object at the end to that the device is able to form an image though (e.g. place a cardboard box or similar on the ground - or stick a piece of paper on the wall so it's sticking out). Been a very handy little unit.

It measures each time you use it. It also displays the previous measurement.

Yes it measures in feet or yards or meters you chose which units are displayed

Yes it will. If you take out the old one, you can check the measurements if you wish to prove it to yourself.

It measures the gap, so it probably will work. I have never tried it. It's quite good for most all measurements.

No - it measures wire length (in feet or meters only) according to the gauge of the wire - copper or aluminumAccuracy is pretty good

Yes it should because it swels. It will requir good measurements and planning.

Yes. These are some of the best distance measurement devices on the market. I use it for large construction projects indoor and outdoor.

It will measure anything you can point at. If someone held a board along the wall at the end of a building it could be used as a target

feet and also inches i think, unable to check as it's in Florida and I'm in New York now. I purchased it to measure a 10 acre property and it worked fine.

It's not gonna cut it, the measurements they give you are to the very tip of each point. I found it out the hard way trying to cover my sprinkler valve system next to my house and I had to cut into it. Whatever the dimensions are subtract a couple inches from each measurement.

It will automatically measure that I believe. Never tried to measure the opposite direction

You can measure any distance inside or outside as long as the laser hits a solid object. I measured to my ceiling just for fun and it worked great. So accurate it can distinguish the bumps from my textured ceiling.

As far as I can tell, it will measure the surface, not the air. That seems to work OK with sheet metal ducts in the house. I haven't tried it in the car.

Will measure for you and get back. I love this item. It saves me tons of time hooking up both my boat trailer and regular trailer.

Measure the actual length of what you want to cover and then select a cover that covers that length with a little extra so you can get it over.
