It’s seven feet from my finger to my television. I was able to figure that out with a click of a button, using a digital measuring tool. It doesn’t only measure things, though… it’s far cooler than that! The Smart-Rule Ultrasonic Measuring Tool has six different functions!

The Smart-Rule is a distance measuring device and 6-in-1 multi-function tool. It has a built-in LCD display and laser targeting. The audible confirmation lets you know when the measurement is ready giving you measurements in both feet and meters. It also features a bright LED flashlight and quick release from key ring. Takes 3 Lithium button cell batteries. Features include:

  • 6-in-1 Multi-Function Tool
  • Distance measuring device
  • LCD display
  • Measure button with audible confirmation
  • Laser targeting
  • Feet and meter modes
  • Bright LED flashlight
  • Emergency flasher
  • Laser pointer
  • Panic alarm

As you know, your hands may not be steady when you hold something up like this little gadget. So, it is probably best to take measurements a couple of different times, to make sure they’re accurate. I wouldn’t point the laser at anyone, or set off the panic alarm in close range to someone as a joke! There’s a ball-point pen that flips out from the side to write down your measurements… so I guess you’re getting a bonus feature for free!
