What about measuring a roof. Is there a point and click to set start and end points? There is nothing to reflect at end of roof.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elvis from Add voice output, would be great for blind people I have a blind friend who would love this device, if it had voice output.
For him this would be like super powers...

Rated 5 out of 5 by JamesG from Very good device I bought this Laser distance meter last month, have used it and found it has been very helpful on jobs. I can go out to the site, do the job without having to have a second person to "hold the tape". Very good little device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Deek619 from My partner on the job I do home inspections and appraisals in addition to other trade work. The 424D is a fantastic tool for taking measurements since I can quickly and easily do them without the help of another person.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kirk from Awesome distance meter with a wealth of features Really an awesome distance meter with an incredible array of advanced measuring and internal calculation features. Relatively intuitive interface makes it easy to use, though you still will need the handy reference card to remind yourself about seldom used features. Battery life has been excellent, I am still on the same set of batteries after my purchase over 3 years ago. Bright, large, easy to ready display...and this thing even has a built in electronic compass! As will all Fluke products that I own, this meter is ruggedly built and will definitely survive a drop or two. Highly recommended, and if you can, go ahead and get this model with all of the advanced features...they have cheaper models, but since Flukes are lifetime tools, go ahead and buy the top of the line model if you can manage it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JasonB from The best laser distance meter on the market!!! I bought the 424D because I've taken on projects that require getting quick, accurate measurements of our large RV manufacturing facilities. The visible memory measurements, pythagoras, area, and volume measurements are the features I use mostly.
This products has saved me many hours. A recent measurement job took 15 minutes with the 424D. With a tape measure it would've taken 4 hours.
At home, I still carry a measuring tape, but the 424D has a permanent spot on my tool belt.
Our Industrial Engineer liked the 424D so much that he is planning to order one in the coming months.
I've owned Fluke products before, but after using the 424D, I'll only be looking at Fluke, from here on, for precision tools.
