HANMATEK Laser distance meter, 100 m (328 ft) review
The tightest accuracy figure published in this hub — the maker states ± 1.5 mm (0.06 in) — paired with a 100 m (328 ft) range, at a third of the price of the Leica that matches that reach.
What the figures leave us with 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 (1 to 328 ft), an accuracy of ± 1.5 mm (0.06 in), 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 (0.08 in) of the RockSeed and the ± 3 mm (0.12 in)/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 (328 ft) 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.

What it has, and what it lacks
Strengths
The tightest stated accuracy here, ± 1.5 mm (0.06 in), published by the maker
A 100 m (328 ft) range, matching the Leica in this hub at a fraction of its price
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

What gets asked here
What range and accuracy does HANMATEK state?
The maker states a measuring range of 0.3 to 100 m (1 to 328 ft) and an accuracy of ± 1.5 mm (0.06 in). Both figures come from the manufacturer listing; neither is a measurement made here.
Is 100 m (328 ft) 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.
Our score

Against the measuring instruments in the same bracket
Same category, nearby prices, between measuring instruments. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
100 feet, stated — about 30 meters (98 ft). Every other meter on this shelf publishes meters: 20 m (66 ft), 50 m (164 ft), 100 m (328 ft) and 100 m (328 ft). This is the second shortest reach here, and the only range a buyer has to convert before comparing it with the rest

Who should pick this one, among measuring instruments
The best-published specification per euro in this hub, for someone who measures long distances and does not need a documented workflow.
Accessories stated to fit this instrument
Listed because the accessory names this instrument itself.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for measuring instruments and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
100 ft range — the only one on this shelf stated in FEET · ± 1/16 in stated, the only IMPERIAL accuracy here · two buttons, one of them for ROUNDING · backlit display · Class II, 635 nm, under 1 mW · NO ingress rating and NO reference edge published
The only meter on this shelf whose range and accuracy are published in feet and inches rather than meters and millimeters.
Best for: Interior work measured in feet and fractional inches, where a rounded figure is what goes on the cut list
IP 65 · 1.5 m (5 ft) drop rating · 7 measuring modes · color display
The site-rated meter of this hub: Bosch Professional states IP 65 and survival of drops from 1.5 m (5 ft) onto concrete, with seven measuring modes and a color 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 (66 ft) range · ± 3 mm (0.12 in)/m stated · one-button operation
A deliberately minimal meter: one button, a 20 m (66 ft) range and a stated accuracy of ± 3 mm (0.12 in)/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.
