The Leica DISTO D2 (Model 838725) is a field-proven laser distance meter engineered for contractors, estimators, and field crews who demand reliable measurements on every jobsite. Delivering ±1.5mm (1/16") accuracy across a 330-foot (100m) measuring range, the D2 replaces the tape measure for interior layouts, exterior site surveys, and material take-offs — saving time and reducing costly measurement errors.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
Compact enough to fit in a tool pouch yet powerful enough to handle full-scale commercial and residential jobsites, the Leica DISTO D2 is trusted on framing, finish carpentry, HVAC rough-in, electrical estimating, flooring, and real estate measurement workflows. Its intuitive single-button laser operation means minimal training time, while the built-in Bluetooth Smart connectivity lets you transfer measurements directly to your smartphone, tablet, or estimating software — eliminating transcription errors in the field.

Job Applications
Framing & Rough Carpentry: Quickly verify stud bay dimensions, wall lengths, and ceiling heights during framing. The continuous measurement mode lets you scan a room perimeter in seconds.
Flooring & Tile Installation: Calculate square footage for material ordering on the spot — area and volume functions eliminate manual math and reduce over- or under-ordering.
HVAC & Electrical Estimating: Measure duct runs, conduit paths, and equipment clearances from a single vantage point. Bluetooth transfer pushes dimensions directly into estimating software.
Real Estate & Property Assessment: Capture room-by-room measurements quickly and accurately for MLS listings, appraisals, or renovation planning without a second person holding a tape.
