And you can order every device online at the latest offer prices in the Trotec shop – and, what’s more, you can also expect our entire product range there.
Mini BD11 laser measuring device – handy and small
Despite its small size, the practical mini BD11 laser measuring device comes with everything that a modern distance meter needs. It provides precise laser measurement of distances, areas and volumes as well as “simple” and “dual” Pythagorean equations.
How it works: The compact BD11 laser measuring device fits into the pocket of every handyman’s trousers, no matter how small. The measuring device can calculate distances of up to 30 metres, areas and volumes just as quickly and precisely. And they generally do so namely with a deviation of 3 mm at the most.
What’s more, the BD11 score points with the “simple” and “dual” Pythagorean equations: Both are indispensable functions which, besides checking right angles, allow you to calculate distance and height indirectly. In addition, the hand-held laser meter boasts useful features such as a continuous measurement mode, the addition and subtraction of measurement results, and the automatic saving of the last 10 measurements. The robust housing is IP54 protected against dust and splash water.
BD11 laser distance meter –at the current offer price for only € 18.25 instead of € 36.56 incl. VAT.
BD21 laser distance meter – with 90° tilt sensor
The advanced BD21 laser distance meter comes standard with functions and features that are otherwise reserved for expensive high-end devices.
How it works: The BD21 measures distances in the 0.05 to 70 meter range and, thanks to its integrated 90° tilt sensor with 3-point Pythagoras functions, calculates any surface or volume quickly, easily and precisely. Height and partial height measurements, distance tracking, or indirect measurements of the distance and height over obstacles are likewise possible with this handy measuring device. Moreover, it can be used as a spirit electronic level as well. Despite the extensive range of functions it offers, the laser distance meter is extremely easy to use – every function and setting has its own button.

BD5A cross-line laser – laser precision instead of a spirit level
The cross-line laser is the modern spirit level of today. Aligning pictures exactly at right angles, drilling boreholes on a straight projection line, or attaching tiles in a precise grid – all this becomes child’s play now.
How it works: The cross-line laser is the modern spirit level of today and is superior to its aged predecessor in every respect. With a range of 10 meters, the battery powered BD5A projects a right-angled laser cross on the opposite wall immediately after it is switched on. And because the device is self-levelling, the projected lines are always 100 % straight. Even though its boasts the latest technology, the BD5A is so easy to handle that not only tradesmen are able to benefit from its practical benefits, but sporadic DIY enthusiasts with less experience will achieve perfect right-angled laser auxiliary lines immediately as well.
BD5A cross-line laser –at the current offer price for only € 27.41 instead of € 45.71 incl. VAT.
BD7A 360° rotation laser – switch it on and get started
At the push of a button, the device draws a horizontal laser line on all four walls at the same time using its all-round projection.
How it works: The BD7A 360° rotating laser, which is battery-operated and can thus be used directly anywhere, provides quick and easy support in those decoration and assembly tasks where high accuracy is essential: For example, it can be used to straightly hang or mark wallpaper borders, wall tiles, colour borders, wall cabinets or drill exactly positioned dowel holes at a uniform height. Three projection modes for almost all aligning tasks, as well as its multifunctional combination holder make this lightweight 280 g compact laser an indispensable precision tool for tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts alike. The latest generation integrated lithium ion battery ensures permanent power and maximum operating times in the BD7A. Even in daily use with frequent partial discharges, the Li-Ion battery guarantees a long service life without the memory effect common in conventional NiCd batteries.
BD7A 360° rotation laser –at the current offer price for only € 73.16 instead of € 91.48 incl. VAT.
