Your hubby will love the Bosch DLR165K Digital Laser Range Finder Kit (and secretly, so will you). Well at least I do and happen to carry one in my bag - not to measure the distance that Addie has run away from me when she takes off in a sprint, but to measure rooms. With Interior Design you measure spaces ALOT. Instead wrestling with a tape measure and hours of work, you can push a button, aim the laser beam to the wall and instantly know the size of the wall, or window, or whatever your heart desires....I'm not going to think about what all the hubbys will want to measure...Plus for you is that that fence building project over the weekend may take half the time now!
