I build and install custom cabinetry. This is a very useful piece of kit for me. I can quickly line sketch a room in the Distro app, snap measurements with the D2 and attach them to lines, and head back to put them in CAD with great confidence. My fits at install are always on point. Easy to add windows, doors, and wall openings. Photos to show a sample kitchen measure-up with a door, two windows, and a vent opening for a range exhaust. My shop is all metric, so I dont have the same issue the trim guys who work in imperial have with this device. I recommend metric regardless, much less prone to calculation and conversion errors.
The flip-tab on the bottom for measuring from an outside corner is ingenious. I use it constantly and can't imagine not having it. Every LMD should have it.
My only complaint is the force required to press the button to get a measurement. It's very stiff and doesn't soften over time, and can be tedious in tight quarters doing a one-handed measurement. Not enough of an issue to make me want a different measurer. In all other ways I love this thing.
