How do you measure and mark a long span solo?

Framing
Layout

A long run up a framed wall has nobody to pin the hook, so the usual answer is a helper or a walk back to check. The T1 Tomahawk's green laser holds the far reference and gives the reading at the same time, so you mark where the line falls, save the number and move down the wall. One person covers the run without retracing it.

The laser holds your end of the measurement. On a long run up a framed wall there is nobody to pin the hook, so the green laser gives you the far reference and the reading at once. You mark where the line falls, save the number, and repeat down the wall without walking back.
