HANMATEK Laser distance meter, 100 m review
The tightest accuracy figure published in this hub — the maker states ± 1.5 mm — paired with a 100 m range, at a third of the price of the Leica that matches that reach.
The bottom line The specification-per-euro pick. Everything Leica publishes on range, none of what it publishes on documentation.
On paper the LM100 is the strongest meter in this hub, and the paper is the manufacturer’s own.
What the manufacturer publishes
A measuring range of 0.3 to 100 m, an accuracy of ± 1.5 mm, and modes for distance, length, area, volume, continuous measurement and a three-point Pythagorean calculation. A large backlit display and a mute setting. IP54 for water and dust. Supplied with two 1.5 V AAA cells, a hand strap and a box.
Reading the two headline numbers together
Range and accuracy are independent, and listings routinely pair a long range with no accuracy figure at all. Here both are published, and the accuracy figure is the tightest in the hub — tighter than the ± 2 mm of the RockSeed and the ± 3 mm/m of the Bosch EasyDistance. That is a claim, not a certificate, and this site is not a testing body; what it is, is a claim the maker has committed to in writing.
What the extra money buys elsewhere
The Leica in this hub reaches the same 100 m and costs six times more. What it publishes that this does not: Bluetooth export into an app that keeps the measurements, and a fold-out end piece for measuring out of a corner or a groove. If your measurements need to end up in a document rather than on a notepad, that is the difference. If they end up on a notepad, this reaches just as far.

Area, distance, length, volume, continuous and Pythagorean measurement, with a three-point Pythagorean mode
Backlit screen and a mute setting
Compromises
IP54, so splash and dust rather than the site-grade sealing of the Bosch Professional
No Bluetooth and no app, unlike the Leica
The brand publishes no independent verification of the stated figure

Questions people actually ask
What range and accuracy does HANMATEK state?
The maker states a measuring range of 0.3 to 100 m and an accuracy of ± 1.5 mm. Both figures come from the manufacturer listing; neither is a measurement made here.
Is 100 m usable outdoors in daylight?
The limiting factor outdoors is seeing the dot on the target, not the electronics. At long range in bright sun a red dot becomes hard to place, which is what receivers and target plates exist for.
Does it connect to a phone?
No. Bluetooth and app export are on the Leica in this hub, not on this one.
IP 65 · 1.5 m drop rating · 7 measuring modes · colour display
The site-rated meter of this hub: Bosch Professional states IP 65 and survival of drops from 1.5 m onto concrete, with seven measuring modes and a colour display. The accuracy figure is not in the listing.
Best for: Anyone whose meter lives in a bag with other tools rather than in a drawer.
20 m range · ± 3 mm/m stated · one-button operation
A deliberately minimal meter: one button, a 20 m range and a stated accuracy of ± 3 mm/m. It is the shortest-range meter in this hub and the easiest to hand to somebody who has never used one.
Best for: Somebody who wants a room measured without learning a tool, and will never need the far end of a car park.
100 m range · Bluetooth to the DISTO Plan app · fold-out end piece
The documentation meter: 100 m of range, Bluetooth export into Leica's own app, and a fold-out end piece that lets a measurement start from inside a corner or a groove rather than from a flat face.
Best for: Anyone who measures a property and then has to write it up — the readings arrive already recorded.
