We found that the DeWalt digital tape measure was well suited to taking general measurements, such as those used to determine how much drywall or paint to purchase, but we’re still sold on using a high-quality steel tape for making cuts for finish work, such as trim boards and crown molding that require near-perfect measurements to achieve professional results.Īdditionally, the DeWalt is advertised as measuring up to 100 feet, but we could only get it to register a measurement up to 94 feet.

Those are pretty accurate measurements, but users should ensure the tool is level to get the most precise results with either a manual or a digital measuring tape. Across a 6-foot span, we found it was accurate within 1/16 inch. Our tests found the DeWalt digital tape measure to be accurate within ⅛ inch across a 20-foot span.

The app didn’t do anything more than we could do on the tool, but users can sync the digital measuring tape with some paid-subscription apps and use it in more complex CAD-type applications.

The tool also comes with Bluetooth capability we could use by downloading the DeWalt Smart app on our smartphone. The LED display walked us through taking measurements for the length, width, and height of the room and then multiplied them to find the volume. It was actually easier to find the volume of a symmetrical room (where length, width, and height are the same) by pushing the Cube button.

It only has symbols that resemble hieroglyphs, so we had to use trial and error to figure out how to use the functions.īy pressing the “Dist” button multiple times, we found that we could record and store two measurements and then calculate the surface area by multiplying the numbers. The tape has a few other functions that take a bit longer to learn-mainly because the instruction pamphlet contains no text. To turn it on, we pressed the “Dist” button, and once the LED screen lit up, all we had to do was point its red laser dot at a wall or another solid item and press the same button to get a reading. Measuring linear distance is simple on the DeWalt digital tape. Photo: Glenda Taylor Is the DeWalt laser measurer easy to use? The manufacturer says it’s accurate within 3/32 inch. We tested the DeWalt digital tape measure and (using a high-quality steel tape) verified that it was accurate within ⅛ inch over a 20-foot distance. It displays the distance on an easy-to-see LED screen that features bright-white numerals on a black background. Light travels very fast, so the entire process happens in a tiny fraction of a second, but that’s long enough for the digital tape measure to get an accurate reading. The tool measures the time it takes for the beam to return and gauges the distance accordingly. The DeWalt digital tape measure emits a laser beam that bounces off a solid surface and reflects back to the tool. How does the DeWalt digital tape measure work? Instruction booklet only features hard-to-decipher symbols and no text.The Bluetooth app doesn’t offer any additional features.Bright LED screen is easy to see even outdoors on sunny days.Accurate to within 3/32 inch, making it suitable for most projects.Quickly and easily measures up to 100 feet.
