Leica DISTO D2 838725 - 330-Foot Measuring Range
Published on 09/23/2026 at 02:29 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Leica DISTO D2 838725 is a compact laser distance meter with a 330-foot maximum range, 1/16-inch accuracy, and a black-and-red handheld body. Its foldable endpiece supports measurements from edges and corners, while Bluetooth Smart connects readings with compatible software and mobile apps.
Compact Measurement Hardware
The official Leica data sheet lists a measuring range of 0.16 to 330 feet under favorable conditions and accuracy of 1/16 inch. Under unfavorable conditions, the range is 0.16 to 200 feet and accuracy is 1/8 inch, so the headline range depends on the measuring environment.
The device measures 4.57 by 1.73 by 1.02 inches and weighs 3.53 ounces with batteries. Its display resolves readings to 1/32 inch, while the IP54 rating covers dust and splash-water protection.
Bluetooth, Memory, and Battery Life
Leica lists Bluetooth Smart connectivity, a multifunctional endpiece, automatic reference detection, and memory for the last 10 measurements. The meter supports feet, inches, and meters, and it includes area, volume, continuous, and indirect measurement functions.
Two AAA 1.5-volt batteries power the D2. Leica specifies up to 20 hours of operation and up to 10,000 measurements per battery set, depending on use. A Class 2 red laser uses less than 1 milliwatt of output.
Price and Product Position
Home Depot lists model 838725 at $199.00 as of 05/18/2026. Adorama lists the Leica D2 at $229.99, placing the tool above basic short-range distance meters and below Leica's newer D2-2, which reaches 500 feet.
The D2-2 adds a 150-meter range, a tilt-measuring range of 360 degrees, NFC connectivity, and 30-measurement storage. The older D2 remains the smaller-range choice for indoor layouts, remodeling measurements, cabinet work, and general estimating where 330 feet is sufficient.
Who the D2 Fits
Leica DISTO D2 838725 fits users who need repeatable linear, area, or volume measurements without carrying a larger surveying instrument. Bluetooth helps transfer readings, while the 10-value memory keeps recent measurements available during room checks.
Its limits are equally concrete: the 330-foot specification applies under favorable conditions, the housing is splash-resistant rather than submersible, and the device lacks the D2-2's 500-foot range, tilt sensor, NFC, and 30-value memory. For ordinary indoor construction and renovation measurements, its compact dimensions and 1/16-inch accuracy define its role.
