Review: New DISTO D2 w/ Bluetooth 4.0

Leica Geosystems is set to release a new version of the beloved DISTO D2 to the product line-up. The new D2 is expected to ship within the next 2 weeks.

We're projecting that this new D2 will be one of our best-sellers.

Why?

For starters, look at that new, sleek design! Leica has also made many more upgrades from the original D2 to this one, and has added an entirely new feature, not seen on any other DISTO before. Let's get into the specifics.

Probably the most notable upgrade from the original D2 that we're most excited about is the welcome addition of Bluetooth 4.0 technology. With this new D2, you can now connect to any Apple iOS or Android device using the free Leica Sketch App. This will allow you to transfer your measurements almost instantaneously from your DISTO to your smart device when working with floor plan mapping, or marking up an image with measurements. The inclusion of Bluetooth technology in this new D2 closes the current wide gap of available devices that offer Bluetooth. Currently, the first model in the Bluetooth series is the E7100i with a price point of $149. The next available model with Bluetooth technology is the E7500i, set at a price point of $599. The new D2 closes the gap at $199.

Leica also increased the measuring range of the new D2 to 330ft as compared to the current 197ft. In terms of range, this increase in function makes the D2 outshine the E7100i, E7300, and the E7400x models.

On Our Way to Eastool Auction & Expo

Adam and Ryan from AdvancedDimensions.com / Dirig Design, Inc. are excited to exhibit and attend the annual Eastool Auction & Expo in Quarryville, PA this weekend! They'll be set up and ready to meet some new customers at the show's exhibit on September 25-26 at the Solanco Area Fairgrounds.

This will be the second year that AdvancedDimensions.com has exhibited at the Eastool Auction & Expo. Last year's show was a great success, as many attendees were interested in the laser products that we sell for their personal and business needs.

Adam and Ryan are looking forward to meeting with some new potential customers, and admiring the beautiful artistry that surrounds the region of Lancaster, PA. If you are in the area, be sure to attend this free event, and come say hello at booth 851!

Keep up with us on our Facebook Page as we post updates from the show.

More about the show:
Every year manufacturers from the wood and metal working and construction industries converge on the small town of Quarryville, PA. What draws them there? The Annual Eastool Show! The show brings manufacturers and vendors in the industry together to share new ideas, and the latest in technology and equipment. Vendors showcase new tools and products, parts and supplies, heating and energy options, marketing concepts, and long list of other goods and services. The auction itself draws over a thousand bidders looking to add that missing piece to their manufacturing line, or simply replace some worn out tools. It's not often you see so many tools in one place. It's where men love to shop! There is always time to mix in a little fun with your business, as contestants try to their hand at nail driving, and screwing and assembling contests. No event like this would be complete without some good homemade food to satisfy the hunger while supporting the Caring Hands Project that helps supports Amish children with mental & physical handicaps. 

Leica 3D Disto vs. DISTO S910

Leica Geosystems has come out with some pretty impressive tools over the last few years. We've been selling lots of 3-dimensional measuring/templating tools lately, and we've received a lot of questions about the differences between the two 3D models that Leica offers: the 3D DISTO and the DISTO S910. Leica just sent us this comparison chart, and we thought we'd publish it on the blog in order to give a better picture of the differences between the two, in hopes that it would help clarify which one would be better for the work that you are doing. As always, if you have any questions about either tool, give us a call!
