Measure a vase, a chair leg or a fabric seam and read the answer on one LCD. This handheld switches between string, laser and roller modes, so the job stays on the bench. Built for carpenters, upholsterers and DIY projects that do not fit a rigid tape.
Three measuring tools in one: string, laser and roller modes in a single handheld device
- measuring curved or round objects like vases and legs
- needing separate tape, laser and wheel tools
- quick distance checks without a second device
Measure curves and distances with one handheld tool
Before: a drawer of tapes, lasers and wheels, and a measurement lost mid-curve. After: one matte black device with a live LCD reading that switches between string, laser and roller modes.
String, laser and roller in one body
- Three modes, one body
Switch modes from the same body and the job decides the tool. String Mode handles round objects, Laser Mode reads distance across a room, and Roller Mode follows a contour. You stop pulling a tape, a laser and a wheel from the truck for every job.
- Live reading on an LCD
The LCD shows the live ft/in reading with fractional precision, so the number is clear before you write it down. In String Mode the figure updates as you pull, such as 8.11 ft around a vase. You read the result without guessing where the string stopped.
- Rubberized grip, compact build
The matte rubberized housing and grip ridges hold steady in one hand on a dusty bench. The body is small enough for a jacket pocket or a belt holster, so the tool is with you on site visits, in the shop and on the sofa job.
Switch modes and read the curve
- 1Pick your mode
Press MODE/SAVE to step through String, Laser and Roller. The LCD shows which mode is active before you start.
- 2Measure a round object in String Mode
Feed the string around the vase, leg or pipe and pull it snug against the surface. Read the live ft/in figure once it settles.
- 3Read distance in Laser Mode
Aim the red dot at a matte target across the room, then press to read the distance on the LCD.
- 4Trace a length in Roller Mode
Set the wheel at the start point, then roll slowly along the edge to the end. The LCD shows the length as the wheel travels.

Questions and answers
String Mode reads the length of the string you pull around the object and shows the live figure in feet and inches with fractional precision. Pull it snug, let the LCD settle, and repeat the pull once to confirm. Small-diameter objects take a few tries to feel consistent. For finish carpentry where a rigid tape is the reference, confirm critical cuts with one.
Laser Mode is built for distance across a room, a wall or a ceiling height. For a short run of a few inches, a rigid tape is faster and more exact. Aim at a matte, light surface so the red dot stays easy to read.
Yes. Set the wheel at the start point and roll along the seam or curved arm to the end. It gives a quick length for fabric lines. Expect small slips on rough or stretchy material, so mark critical lengths with a tape.
The body is matte black plastic with a rubberized grip and ridges that hold the tool steady on a dusty bench. The housing is built for daily shop use and the grip ridges keep it secure in one hand.
Not for every job. Keep a rigid tape for long flat cuts. The 3-in-1 tool covers curves, distances and rolled lengths, so you stop buying and carrying three instruments for those jobs. Premium materials account for the price, and one device on the bench costs less than three separate tools.
