Do Surveyors use rangefinders?

Yes, surveyors use rangefinders as a tool to observe their surroundings closely. There are other scientific tools available but the rangefinder is friendly and easy to use with auto-correction settings. It helps them measure the yardage and targets in a better way. The best thing it provides to surveyors is "accuracy" which plays a key role in examining their environment with near-to-close readings.
