We needed a longer than 25′ tape measure at work to do some department layouts, so instead of buying a 100′ wind up tape we bought an inexpensive laser distance meter. For a little more than twice the cost of a nice tape we bought a Prexiso X2.
It came with an 10 page instruction manual, 4 of which cover how to use it and the rest is full of the usual button meanings, safe practices, battery replacement, troubleshooting tips and FCC compliance statements.
It also came with a 144 page manual that included instructions in 27 other languages (there were about a half dozen I couldn’t even make out.)
My favorite is the one comes labeled GB for Great Britain. If you thought the US is very litigious or has too many government requirements for labeling, the first page and a half of their small print, 5 page segment is several sections of symbols, safety, areas of responsibilities and such. In Section 2, Safety and Dangers you are asked to “Avoid blinding other persons intentionally.” and to “Avoid aiming directly at the sun.”
My favorite comes from Section 3, Correct Ways of Employment, “Use the device exclusively in an atmosphere that is permanently inhabitable by humans.”
