The Leica Disto D8 Laser Distance Tool
The Leica Disto D8 is a laser distance tool that surprises most people the first time they use one due to all the features and functions it has. Yes, its an investment but one that quickly pays off if you spend any time daily taking measurements on the job. Feature that typically surprise first-time users are the 360° tilt sensor allows the Disto D8 the ability to measure angles without being able to see around obstacles, for example when measuring the height of a tree, or measuring the height of a window on the 4th level of a building. Another nice feature is the Digital Pointfinder which allows the user to zoom viewing through the Distos screen and see a target and then set the point which is very helpful for long distance measuring. When you add in other features like Bluetooth, a measuring range of 650 feet, and a manufacturers 3-year warranty, the Leica Disto D8 is a serious tool for the serious user.
