Best Digital Measurement Tool for Accurate DIY Projects?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to upgrade from my old tape measure and want recommendations for a reliable digital measurement tool.

I mainly do woodworking and some home DIY projects, so accuracy and ease of use are key. I’ve seen laser distance measurers and digital calipers online.

I want to start measuring more efficiently and precisely, especially when working with tight spaces or tricky angles. How do these tools perform in different lighting or surface conditions?

Any features I should look out for? Appreciate any input or real-world experiences.
