I get the same measurement from the base as I do when the tailpiece is extended. The icon shows the different points but the numbers are the same????

On the 7400x the measurement will be the same from the base as the measurement taken when the endpiece is extended 90 degrees. (that feature is used for "hooking" the unit on an outside corner) if you extend the endpiece 180 degrees the measurement should still be the same, as the Disto automatically accounts for the additional length of the endpiece. If you extend the endpiece 180 degrees, but still measure from the base, THEN your measurement should be different. If it is not working in this manner, contact the dealer you purchased it from to discuss warranty/repair options.

That is correct! The tail piece is for use to help with accuracy when, say, measuring from an external corner. You use the flap/tailpiece on those occasions. You use a different mode/setting when you don't want the length of the unit included in the "measured" distance.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and hand delivered it to my Instructor in Okinawa Japan. I do not have it available for measuring.

Measure it from shaft to shaft. on the motor I bought, I had to swap out the long shaft with my short one. Started up first time around.

I have never had any reason to look at either of those numbers. I guess I would contact the manufacturer & pose the question there. Or, you could use the old method of trying both types and see if you can find any "difference" (that's my method of solving a question...)" :) :)

I didn't measure, I replaced my old ones with the same type of new ones...same looks

I converted the measurements from metric to standard and they are the same as listed on the US model. Should work just fine. :)

I believe they are the same. I've replaced mine, so I can't look at the number. If it looks the same as your old one,it probably is.

The honest truth is specification wise there is nothing different. Im sure they might have changed a part on the side to make a different model but they both the exact same

Sorry, its installed where It is hard to get at to measure. The other answers look good to me.

I wish I still had this piece so that I could measure it and answer you with accuracy. I think you're on the right track with your assumptions. Sorry I couldn't be if more help. The piece was in good shape when I got divorced and left it behind c

Hmm... I had to go look at mine to refresh my memory. It is easier to do than explain. You pull the height rod up by pressing the black tab/button at the top of the height rod. It extends to an appropriate height. You can pull out the horizontal bar perpendicular to the height rod either before or after you have extended the height rod. I would pull it out before extending the bar. While on the scale extend the bar, or pull it back down, until the horizontal piece rests on the top of your head. Make sure you are standing straight and that your head is not bent forward or backward. You read the height at the place from which the height rod originally extends. As another reference, there is a red (or maybe green) rectangular gasket at the point where the height is read. You don't read it at the top. Inches are on the left side. Each tick mark represents an eighth of an inch, at least on mine. To retract the height rod just pull it back down. The horizontal piece is retracted by pressing on the black button and pulling it down and flush to the height rod. I quickly looked for a link with pictures to send, but didn't find one. Hopefully this helps.

You can measure the bolt points on your rig and see if matches these. I forget the numbers though.

Yeah mine seems to be about 1/2in. the same way. Not sure if that is normal though.

Mine is pointed, just as it appears in the picture. Very solid, have not actually put it to the "test", but I am satisfied with it. I would contact the manufacturer, sounds like a defect to me.

I'm not sure but usually if the number is the same they should be. I would google and ask if they are equivalent.Good luck

Yes, they are the same. This was bought for a customer at a body shop. He remarked that it contained either all US or all metric. (Can't remember which)

It's because someone tried to convert from the metric system. It's a German car so stick with the metric system. 70mm is correct. Skip the conversation or you may choose the incorrect size.
