Impulse 200 LR Laser | The Holiday Tool

[mdvaden]

Just ordered a Laser Tech Impulse 200LR for the holiday season. This tool should last for 20 years or more.

 

I will use it for exploring and measuring tree discoveries. But this will also get put to use for landscape work too. If I go out to do estimate / consultations for like drainage, the Trupulse unit will let me know right away whether the ground slopes at all or how much slope there is, regarding where to put drain pipe.

 

For landscape design, I will be able to take several measurements with it rather than rolling a wheel or stretching a tape.

 

For people using cranes, this would let workers and operators know how far away a load is dangling, using the HD function.

 

For most tree workers and arborists, I think that the Trupulse 200 at 25% the cost, would suffice for the same, except like the landscape measurements or grade.

That looks great. Looked at the website now as I'm in the market for one of these things next year.

Thanks for posting MD.

FWIW ...

 

Taylor, Atkins and myself all have the scope with cross-hairs. And I think Prof. Sillett out of Humboldt State University does likewise.

 

When I ordered the unit, the representative mentioned that more people order the red dot scopes, when I mentioned the cross-hair option. But I think it's forestry folks who are getting the red dot scope. And I'm not sure why they prefer the red dot even for horizontal shooting, because we generally don't have much problem centering a cross-hair in dense shade.

 

Just checked out the display illumination a few nights ago. This is how it lights up in darker areas. This was in my office with the lights turned way down. The photo was degraded in the attachment process. It's more clear to read than the image shows.
