I'm curious too. I have the Bosch blaze and while it's affordable the 32nd readout drives me nuts.

I have a dinosaur Bosch from 2012 that doesn’t even have Bluetooth or a screen. It’s like working in a third world country... [emoji12]

I’m leaning toward this...

I have the Leica disto D5 it's a great measurer. It'll cost you though.

I think I paid 500.00 for it. It has the view finder with 4 times zoom. I can use it better outside with that.

Even the cheapy heapys are pretty accurate. I don't like to pay a lot cause like the stabila level there's always drop coming but a 4' Plasto-cast level never gets hurt. Looks cheap but never falls off anything.........Why is that?

I just gave my Bosch Blaze to one of my guys and told him to never let me grab it again. 32nds is stupid.

I have (2) Bosch models....both are red dot. I would grab a green dot in an instant. Out doors, red is hard for me to see, even with the red glasses.

The B/T option is cool if you want to directly import measurements into a spreadsheet or other app that is set up for that.

Best to you

Well I guess I gotta pull the trigger, the one Cali has or the hilti huh? We have 36 pieces of coping cap, touch up exterior paint, 15,000 sf of carpet to clean and a final clean inside and I’ll be off to a permanent estimator position. No subs, no collection, no contracts. Just show up do take offs, go home write scopes and done. Nationwide though... work on my frequent flyer miles.[emoji1303] planning on some nice destination vacations one day! [emoji41]

So I have the Leica Disto x4 coming in the mail in two days, now I want the point to point accessory tripod but $800 bucks?? Dang tool addiction is REAL today. Lol. Might have to wait on that to see if I really could use it to justify it...

Leica is definitely my go-to. I use the small 7100i the most simply because of the size of it. That said, I have a 7500i that is bada$$ as could be but don't get enough use out of it, I'd sell it for a decent song just because having it sit seems dumb. It's great for many things with a camera to help with accuracy even.
