Ridgid 36158 Laser Distance Finder 164 Ft 50 M

Product Description

The RIDGID 36158 is a handheld laser distance finder built for trade professionals who need fast, accurate linear measurements on the job site. It measures up to 164 feet (50 meters) with an accuracy of 1.5 mm (1/16 inch), making it reliable for rough-in layout, room dimensioning, and material estimation. The unit runs on two AAA batteries and features a bright backlit display for use in poorly lit spaces such as mechanical rooms, attics, and crawlspaces. Licensed contractors, estimators, and service techs across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades use this tool for quick field measurements without a second person holding a tape.

The 36158 is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where measuring tape access is limited or impractical. Built-in area and volume calculation functions allow a technician to derive square footage or cubic footage directly from the device, reducing manual math errors in the field. The unit stores the last 20 measurements and displays the last three simultaneously, which is useful when documenting multiple room dimensions or ductwork runs in sequence. Units switch between feet, inches, and meters on the fly.
