TRUTH OVER HYPE

Fanttik A10 Pro 2-in-1 Digital Laser Tape Measure

Monster Review tested this tech tools product and rated it Good.

This tool is decent, and I can definitely see the appeal. To be completely real with you, I haven't personally run into a job site scenario where I needed a laser distance meter, a manual tape measure, and a leveler all in the exact same minute. That situation definitely comes up for people, but it hasn't hit me yet. When it finally does, though, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be stoked to have this sitting in my toolbag. I bought this with my own cash and ran it through a full suite of tests on the channel. While it performs the features printed on the box, I wouldn't say it does all of them exceptionally well. The physical tape blade is slow to retract and frustrating to control one-handed—it constantly buckles under its own weight when extended. On top of that, despite having a digital screen, it forces you to cycle through units one by one instead of displaying inches, centimeters, and meters simultaneously on one display. Even with those design flaws, for a multi-use tool under real-world conditions, it still earns a solid pass from me.
