so I imagine that if I want to measure what. put off, press the button and is good. why I gave only four stars. I find the button to trigger the measurement is not optimal. that is as a foil knobs and if you now times not so great has the fine motor skills, it is little bit difficult to trigger. a handle on the side would have been good in my opinion. when you press the device thus tends to move again. you can not press anywhere firmly back on. walls are sometimes inclined or so, then it must be easy to hold in your hand and that's just not always as one imagines that, precisely because of the slide knob. everything else is on the device tiptop and it is very accurate or better exactly? Anyway, not a bad buy.
