Boulder, Colorado, United States - 10-23-2022 (PR Distribution™) -

Inventor of the world’s-first professional digital tape measure announces the 3rd-generation full-featured professional-grade tape measure: the DP25 with Bluetooth.

The new DataPro25 is a 3rd-generation digital tape measure that treats your project measurements with the importance they deserve. Whether for new blinds in your home or for a remodeling project, accurately recorded measurements are critical to keep your project on schedule and on budget.

The inventor and CEO of DataPro Tools says that “the old way of measuring—interpreting a scale on the tape blade, then putting your tape down to write measurements—almost guaranteed measurement errors.” With DP25 any number of measurements can be accurately recorded to a mobile device or PC application for later use thanks to Bluetooth. Your project stays on time and on budget. Imagine, you press a button, and the measurement is instantly recorded to your app or project software!

DataPro Tools' history dates to the 1980s when our founder, Stephen Crane, invented and patented the world’s-first professional-grade digital tape measure. Within two years the design was licensed and marketed as the L. S. Starrett Digitape, selling 1.5 million units.

Not only was the Digitape the first professional digital tape measure, but Crane’s patents also pioneered the concept of continuous self-calibration and set the standard for accuracy and reliability using a dual encoder scheme. An optical sensor constantly scans the blade and recalibrates the device every 1.5 inch to within 1/32” (0.5 mm). DataPro’s newest design takes the concept further to use the latest solid-state measuring and sensor technology and add Bluetooth connectivity.

The design is the size of a standard professional tape measure. Unlike LASER measures or ultrasonic tools, the DataPro does not need a surface to bounce off—the metal blade has a hook at the end to grab an edge just like any other tape measure.

Other DataPro tape models are currently being used in clothing manufacturing (QC applications), mining (measuring of core samples), and warehouse operations to name a few of the many potential industrial applications as well as DIY uses.

Of course, there are many benefits to digital products, but eliminating the need for pencil and paper when using a tape measure is one sure way to stay on schedule and on budget.

Beginning today, the DataPro 25 will be presented on Kickstarter for a Super Early Bird price of $66 (40% off retail) including iOS, Android, and Windows apps.
