Leica DISTO D2: The Property Professional’s Best Friend

5th March 2014

Leica’s top selling laser meter is one of the best value and most versatile measuring devices on the market, making it an ideal choice for property professionals who are routinely required to take internal measurements.

But why should property professionals choose the Leica DISTO D2 laser measure over its big brothers let alone its competitors?

Smaller than most mobile phones and accurate to within +/- 1.5mm the diminutive Leica DISTO D2 is the perfect measuring device for busy property professionals on the move. Not only do its size and accuracy make it a staple fixture in the pockets and bags of estate agents, property valuers and lettings agents it’s incredibly easy to use and offers a range of calculation tools usually only found on more expensive counterparts.

With a range of up to 60m the Leica DISTO D2 is an extremely practical addition to any property professional’s portfolio. As the smallest laser measure on the market, smaller than most mobile phones in fact, its ergonomic design makes it easy to handle and store in any pocket. As well as being small it’s IP54 rated, making it water and dust resistant. With this you’re safe in the knowledge that performance won’t be compromised when measuring up tricky renovation projects or investment properties. 

Functionalities of particular use to property professionals are the single distance measurement, providing simple wall to wall or floor to ceiling measurements; continuous measurement, handy for working out total distances, for instance the total wall length of a room; and minimum/maximum measurement for room diagonals and horizontals.

The Leica DISTO D2 also boasts a range of calculation tools property professionals will find useful. As well as the usual addition/subtraction, timer and memory functionalities the DISTO D2 calculates room areas and volumes with ease, making it quick and easy to determine values for particulars or valuations.

Objects, including large furnishings or partition walls, present no obstacle to the Leica DISTO D2 when the indirect measurement functionality is used to work out heights and lengths that would have been otherwise impossible to calculate.   

If a larger meter is not to hand surveyors will appreciate the DISTO D2’s stake out function which allows users to quickly set out pre-determined or equal distances for measuring.

Competitively priced against its rivals the Leica DISTO D2 is an ideal solution for those seeking an accurate, easy to use laser measure with practical functionality. Yes, of course there are measures on the market complete with bells and whistles but we find the added functionality isn’t usually needed by property professionals - so why pay for it?

And if all that isn’t enough to convince you of the DISTO D2’s capabilities why not try it for yourself?

The Tape Store offers the Leica DISTO D2 12% cheaper (ex VAT) than its closest rival and, with free next day courier delivery, we believe this little pocket rocket is the measure of choice for property professionals.
