NeoRulerGO Premium Combo

This digital tape measure with laser is the coolest gadget ever. I do a lot of measuring for my cricut designs and some designs can be awkward when needing to take the measurement for. With this device I can to curve and, I love that it's a smart long distance rolling measuring tool. The qaulity is excellent, and makes a nice gift to give to a handy man.

Unpacking the widgets that make up this device was quite the amusing challenge. The precision with which these widgets were packed is astounding. (Just look at the picture.) And inside the perfectly aligned (7) boxes are other boxes, compartmentalized to fit each accessory for this device. The devotion to precision speaks to the commitment to accuracy of the engineers of this device.
This device is ingenious. Whether your an architect or a decorator, or if you’re designing or building a birdhouse, or if you want to know how long your hike will really be (it scales from a trail map!) — or in the case of my son, is you’re cutting a pattern for the streetwear you’ve just designed.
I wish the screen were brighter on the device. I wish I was less confused by the functions of the left and right buttons. I wish the instructions were better, more specific, and much longer. But there’s an APP! (more on that later)
The device itself is the size of a keychain and half its weight. In fact, the device comes with a leather sheath and a keyring to attach to your keychain.
I think you can see for yourself all the accessories that come with the NeoRuler. But what you don’t see on the Amazon site are the surprises in the box. And I’m not talking about all the extra nibs and the extra rubber rings (to protect the measuring wheel) that come in the box. I’m talking about when you lift the semi-circle dome off the pencil-stand…Inside, are 12 colored nibs! And you can **** on those nibs to the pencils (yes, there are 2 pencils) with one hand. Yes, it’s easy, trust me. There are also 2 pencil stands. One has colored nibs; the other has black style nibs. AND, the bottoms of the pencil stands are erasers! I love these features.
The second feature you don’t see is part of the extension you attach to the NeoRuler. The metal arch/loop atop the NeoRuler (the one you’d attach to your keychain), pulls off. In its place you can snap on a much longer version of the same thing, that has the same metal arch/loop on one end. But here’s the surprise: this accessory has a magnetized door on the back that opens, and inside you can store the mini pencil and 4 nibs! That’s phenomenal. The same tidy engineering brain that created this device and its packaging, created this extremely elegant storage space. Kudos to HOZO’s design engineering department.
Because I don’t yet really fully understand how the NeoRulerGo functions — and there’s a lot to understand — I’ll mention now that the MEAZOR APP will make everything easier. Because if I had one complaint about this device it would be that the screen is small and not bright enough, and that the left and right button functions are confusing. The Meazor App, however, makes everything more accessible and intuitive. Oh, and you can switch the “handedness” of the device, in case your less dominant hand is more like an appendage.
I do have two serious disappointments, especially since I’ve been a pencil-writer all my life. Though the pencils that come with the NeoRulerGo have a nice weight in the hand, the nibs — both the colored nibs and the black nibs — are nowhere near dark enough. And I mean, why’d they bother to create such an elegant system then make their nibs practically useless? Believe me, anyone who’s a committed pencil-writer wants a lead that writes with authority. In my case, that’s a 4B, which is a genuinely dark lead. But these nibs don’t even quality as 2B. I’m tempted to deduct a star for this incredible oversight…but I just can’t. I love the NeoRulerGo too much.

The encoders based measurement system works great. The laser is a big help and aligning the measurement. The direct conversion system is really nice and being able to keychain it on my backpack is amazing. The pencils it comes with are heavy duty and look super nice. The several colors are great for redlining blue prints.

this digital tape measure is small and accurate. the phone app saving your measurements is a nice added touch so you don't even need to write anything down. i got this so i didn't have to carry a large tape measure with me when i was going to some stores trying to find furniture and shelving, i was able to easily measure the items that i was looking at without needing someone to hold the other side. it's small and can fit in your pocked with ease, it also has a ring on top that i just clipped a lanyard too and wore it around my neck!

cool laser. bought it for dad to use for construction purposes. There is a USB charger included, a bath on which you can display parameters.
