For whatever it's worth:
I'm using a Bosch distance meter; the laser isn't anything to write home about but I already own it, and having an angle finder, distance finder and laser source in one device makes it quite convenient.
I've been using the gaps between sections in an expanding-type dining room table to hold kitchen knives for measurement. Not perfect, but alignment is good and it's handy the have the laser just sitting there. My table is circular with a split at the diameter when you take the leaf out, so measuring and printing a scale to attach to the edge was very simple (though the radius is enough that I need two sheets of paper to measure useful angles.)
Making a pinhole or slit aperture out of cardstock cuts down on noise from the outer lens cover on my laser, though it hasn't been a real problem either.
