You might have seen this before, but here’s a quick look at the Reekon T1 Tomahawk Digital Tape Measure, brought to you by the same folks that made the M1 Caliber miter saw measuring tool.
This isn’t just a digital tape measure, it’s an extremely feature-rich tape measure – there’s a lot going on here.
Let’s start slow. This is a 25′ tape measure with replaceable tapes. You can choose between inch markings, or metric.

There’s an OLED display at the top, which shows your live measurements.
Click a button, and your measurements are saved to a side-mounted e-paper display.
You can choose different units for the displays, and you can also select different reference points for your measurements. Do you need to take an inside measurement? No problem.
There’s also a green laser for quicker off-center markings. The laser can also aid tape measure alignment, to ensure parallel or perpendicular measurements.
You can also attach a pencil to the side of the tape measure, for one-handed markings.
The T1 Tomahawk has a removable rechargeable battery, and can be charged via USB-C.

It also features Bluetooth connectivity, which will allow for additional functionality via Reekon’s ROCK app.
A spring locking feature allows for blade changes. The T1 has been rated for drops up to 1m. It’s self-calibrating, and with accuracy said to better than 1/32″ (0.5mm).
Kickstarter Price: $199 and up
Shipping: $10 to US, $20 to most other countries
ETA: December 2022
As you might know, Kickstarter is a fundraising platform. Instead of purchasing products, you back a project a pledge a certain amount of money depending on the reward selected.
At the time of this posting, the Kickstarter campaign has been fully backed, with nearly 7,500 backers pledging $1.63M, well in excess of the $10K goal.
Reekon has successfully brought one Kickstarter project to market, the M1 miter saw measuring tool.
If you’re more comfortable waiting, the retail version will have an MSRP of $260.
Discussion
To be honest, I’m not a fan of digital tape measures.
I’ve been aware of the Reekon T1 tape measure for more than 2 months now. I’ve heard from the inventor, I’ve seen the social media coverage, and I’ve received a couple of “wow, have you seen this?!” messages.
I… think I might want to get my hands on one.
My initial impression can be summed up in 3 harsh words: expensive, excessive, gaudy.
But, as time went on, my impression softened quite a bit, and I am now much more open-minded.
One demo video shows how the T1 Tomahawk can be used to make targeted markings. Do you need to leave a mark at 17-3/4″? It can help you do this quickly and accurately.
Another demo clip shows the T1 making incremental measurements, where you can zero it out while it still records total length.
Did you damage your blade? Don’t worry, you can replace it.
USB-C is nice. A replaceable battery pack is also nice. The battery pack features 2x 18500-sized cells with 1500mAh capacity. They say that “under normal work use, it can run for multiple days on a single charge.”
Maybe it’s delicate? No – it seems that Reekon has been thorough in their drop testing. There are also multiple attachment points for wrist straps and other securing devices.
Reekon has shared very many usage applications, and I keep thinking the same things – “that will save me time,” “that could improve my accuracy,” and “that looks convenient.”
The pencil mount, green laser, replaceable blade, dual displays for real-time and stored measurements, zero-reference shift, measurement mode options – all of these things look to combine to offer a very unique tool.
I found myself partially hesitant about the price. But, quality costs money, features cost money, and reliability costs money.
I’m not sold on the idea that *I* need a digital tape measure, but the Reekon T1 does look well-featured, well-thought-out, and well tested. What’s your take on it?

Clever but pricey. I don’t see the need. Aside from that, I gave up on Kickstarter, except for products from companies with a track record.
David Stroud
I like the tomahawk tape, but I agree it’s pricy.I would use in in more controlled places, small jobs, shop jobs, anywhere it wouldn’t be subject to drops, like on a roof or falls to concrete.I would treat it like a new car or truck, tlc.and, that’s not a bad thing. An expensive tool I would never loan out or let a child operate, unless I carefully train him, in the case of my buddy Carter (my grandson, who was helping me do my hardwood floor at four.
Jared
I thought this was a joke. Like one of those dumb products (kelvin 23 for example), we can all spend time making fun of.
It actually seems like it’s got a couple of useful features though. I’m not going to buy one – but I could see some of those features being integrated into a simpler product I might buy. E.g. inside/outside measurements on a laser measurer – or that laser line out the side. Not terrible ideas.
Even measurement storage – I bet that is one of those features that can just be a hassle if you don’t use it regularly, but the functionality is sound.
All-in-all it seems expensive and overcomplicated, but also novel.
Jerry
It has nice features but is pricey and huge. A fast cap Story Pole tape measure can ‘store’ several measurements right on the tape, it also has a space on the side to write on plus a built in pencil sharpener for about $15-$17.
On the other hand, just add the laser that shines out the sides to a regular tape, and I’d pay an extra $15-to$20 for that. That seems like the most uniquely useful feature.
Michael Veach
Something you buy for someone that likes gadgets. They will play with it for a while then put it in a drawer and leave it.
Franck B.
There’s a reason the basic tape measure has not been replaced.
For all the extras this device has, the amount of time it might save is probably not worth the learning curve for an operation that’s not done often or repeatedly.
A friend of mine (who’s just barely a DIY homeowner) thought a measuring tape with a digital display was awesome. I told him that a contractor would never use it, he didn’t believe me, he bought it, and never uses it… when he builds video game cabinets he found that it’s easier to run the tape past the end and read off the dimensions more precisely.
Wayne R.
I dissed an earlier tape measure because it had a battery for an LED. At least this one needs a battery for several good reasons. But it likely also needs a manual to operate it, so…a wash?
The tape’s not metric/mixed? I’d call that a mistake, but maybe it’ll be a choice when ordered.
There were times in my past where I’d surely put this to use.
Saulac
Stuart must have failed to mention the different subscription services available. I will not consider this unless some sort of paid subscription is required.
tcoyneiv
Subscription services?
Stuart
They’re being sarcastic – I think.
tcoyneiv
That’s why I asked. This tool is at least $85 more than I want to spend on something like this. If it requires a subscription service then it isn’t worth my money.
Rick
Sound like an april’s fool!
Kingsley
If it had a Bluetooth speaker and a coffee warmer/beer cooler in it I’d be interested.
Frank D
As much as I love technology, smarter is not always better. I am starting to favor keeping it simple. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel and make something more difficult / smart … or a hybrid of more than one or two things, but not better than the separate items. It is like thermostats, measuring devices, etc that require a manual to use. Could you use this thing for the first time without a manual? six months later? …
Stuart
Looking at the product images, the operation looks fairly straightforward. As with laser distance measuring tools, I would expect to be able to use at least 90% of the functionality without having to refer to a user manual.
Franck B.
I had to buy the top-model Bosch LDM and a Leica to get what I believe to be a very simple feature… to measure the height of a (thing) while not at the base of the (thing). And you don’t need the top-of-the-line Bosch for it to have the level measurement… just to be able to do the calculation. With a lower level model, I could get the angle and distance and do the calculation, but I think the tool should do it. Other than that feature, I find it difficult to do anything else than read a basic distance, although I do know how to change front/back/pointy stylus distance. But the rest is difficult for me to figure out.
And on the basic models with only one/two buttons… it’s hard enough to remember what will do on, off, hold, memory recall, running distance, etc. And if it switches between metric/imperial on you and you don’t have the manual, forget it!
So I’ll agree with you on the 90% of the functions if you weigh it such that doing a simple measurement = 85%.
And I’m an engineer and software developer. Most of the contractors I know won’t even bother the amount of time I’d spend on it. When you’re trying to get work done and the billing clock is running, ease of use is high priority, and a lot of builders aren’t necessarily tech savvy.
Wayne R.
I use a TruPulse hypsometer for antenna heights on towers, but it’s good for lower heights too. It uses a laser rangefinder and an inclinometer to calculate stand-away heights. Pretty great if it’s needed; way easier than a tape drop.
Would be some interesting devices to review, I think.
fred
I think that our estimators/salesmen may have liked their laser measuring devices. Our carpenters – didn’t really use them much – but that was over 12 years ago when I sold up and retired from that part of my business. Since then, I took the time to learn to use a Leca Disto D810 – bought 6 years ago. I hardly use its bluetooth capabilities – but can see where the technology might be headed. I do really like the ability to use pictures for measurements and to have the instrument do the trig and geometry calculations for me. This Reekon Tomahawk – might not be it – but I applaud them for trying to push the envelope. As others have noted – we could imagine a day when a picture of a window or cabinet taken by the finish carpenter is transmitted to the miter saw to sequentially set the stops for the casing cuts. We might be able to semi-automate other tasks on jobsites as well. But the tools will need to become more intuitive and easier to use.
Mike
I don’t mean to be rough on my tools and I try to treat them nice. But at the same time, I use them and they get beat up. $200 for a tape measure is just too much for what is probably the most dropped, kicked, lost, stolen, or thrown tool we own. The one picture of them using it in what seems to be a metal shop…that thing would be black and destroyed on the first day! That white print would be black and unreadable in a week.
I’m kind of into the laser part and the digital read-out, but the rest of the stuff is just crap to make it seem impressive.
Derek
$200 for a tape measure is just too much for what is probably the most dropped, kicked, lost, stolen, or thrown tool we own.

MM
Bingo.
Allen
Digital tapes don’t excite me. I’m forever measuring something as “just shy of 16 and 3/4” for example. Don’t know how you convert that to digital.
Corey Moore
Roughly a freckle passed a hair
Adam
I agree, I like the idea but in the real world I don’t think it would be that good, I’d rather use a regular tape measure .
MikeIt
If that laser could make a mark by etching a line instead of using a pencil like a caveman, then we’d have something to talk about. I realize there is a risk of fire on some materials but I’m willing to take that risk. XD
Derek
lol
Doresoom
If it’s strong enough to etch it will blind someone pretty fast. That’s a no go for liability and safety.
Kent Skinner
Do not look into the laser with your remaining eye…
Jhudler
They just need a 30 mw laser for a few .seconds to achieve your requirement
Kent_Skinner
I look at all tool purchases in terms of value – basically cost per use. A $500 cell phone that gets used constantly = good value. A $600 used Delta Unisaw that I’ll have for the rest of my life = really good value. A $20 FatMax tape that will last 3 or 4 year = good value. Concrete mixer that I need once = rental.
I just don’t see this lasting long enough, and being useful enough to be a value *to me*. I like that they have added a ton of features, and designed some of it for repairablity and rubustness. But it’s just not a tool for me.
Charles
1 meter drop rated???? that’s waist high. Who here hasn’t dropped a measure from much higher than that? I wince when I drop a $20 tool – I don’t know what I’d do with a $200 tool.
And a battery that lasts a couple of days?
Ecotek
I caught that. My tape measure lives in my belt at 1 meter high. It’s been dropped plenty. What if I’m on a 4′ step ladder? Will that be a $200 drop? The product seems thoughtful and interesting but I cant imagine myself needing it. Not enough to spend that kind of dough.
Bill
I thought the on-board and blue tooth measurement list would be very useful. The cutlist functionality on the app has the potential to save material and time– enough to pay for the tape measure pretty quickly. I’m on the fence on the kick starter, it’s a 23% savings off the MSRP.
IronWood
I’m not sure how an app’s cutlist could save $200 worth of time or material over me writing my cutlist on a scrap of paper or wood as I’m measuring. Just because you can save it to your phone for later?
Bill
It would save time be not having to write but just clicking the tape measure. The cutlist app ‘should’ save time/material by optimizing how to cut each piece w/o having to do all that math. Example: measure out all the base board for a room, allow to app to figure out which pieces to cut out of each piece of stock to minimize waste.
With the current cost of lumber, it would take only a few saved pieces to add up to $200 🙂
Gordon
If you work in a crew, you can have one person measuring and one person cutting. The measuring person doesn’t have to be within earshot of the cutting person. Now each person can wear earpro without worrying about missing something. You also won’t have downtime with your cuter waiting for a paper list. And you completely remove the writing and reading of measurements both of which are where most of the mistakes are made. I spent a few hundred on molding for door trim. I can see how quickly you can save $200 in materials alone.
Ray
I can see how this can be fantastic for carpenters.
The E-paper function will save so much time when taking multiple measurements: try remembering 75 1/8, 54 3/16, 89 5/8, 14 7/8, 76 7/8. Way better than lugging around a piece of scrap lumber to jot down measurements since you end up leaving it on the floor when you go to your saw.
Same deal with the inside measurement function. Imagine the same list of measurements, but two of them were inside corners and you have to add 4 1/8 to the measurement in your head. This tool will automatically do that for you plus jot it down.
The laser function is ingenious. There have been so many instances where I need to take a measurement but the tape is off to one side of a ledge or something. No more eyeballing and getting the measurement off by 1/8″ and having to do it all over again.
The app function is also a real time saver, especially if you are in a crew, framing a house or installing trim. No more taking a measurement upstairs, shouting down the measurement to the guy at the miter saw and him hearing 59 instead of 49. With this tape, once you take the measurement, it’s automatically relayed to the guy at the saw.
The rest of the functions like the pencil holder, center finding etc are icing on the cake. I can see this being very useful.
Robert W Bounds
I want this tape where can I buy it please
Stuart
Nowhere yet. You can back the project on Kickstarter to get the earliest chance at one. If you want to buy one at retail, you’ll have to wait a little longer.
garrett
Stuart, can you get them to send over the EULA for review?
Stuart
I can ask, but why??
garrett
Sorry, maybe not my best joke.
Stuart
Sorry, I thought you were asking about the app or something. Some readers are sensitive about privacy concerns, and so I thought that’s where you were coming from.
EFL
They sold me on their M1 for your miter saw
This would be icing on the cake
My preorder is in
Pocket Handyman
As a backer of the M1 for mitre saw measurements, I received early notice of the Kickstarter for the Tomahawk. I hemmed and hawed, and will pass on this. If it were:
-smaller
-had the laser alignment guides
-didn’t need frequent charging
-had an impact rating of 10 metres instead of 1 metre
If was $69 instead the overpriced gizmo that it is, I’d consider it. I think it looks like a feature set in search of an audience, instead of actually being a real problem solver. There’s precious little it offers that my FastCap Lefty-Righty tape measure and my Bosch Laser Measure can’t do already.
IronWood
Lasers, bluetooth, charging cables, giant fragile form factor, oh my! It looks like a smart-tool parody. I’ll just buy 10 Stanleys and a box of pencils for my $200, thanks.
JoeM
Ugh… Listen, this inventor has some nice beginnings of ideas. But, as I commented on the last one, the mitre saw length measuring device? Yeah, that one… They have a really good idea, but they’re executing it in a way that has several disadvantages to non-flat surfaces.
And I just have to say it, because I can’t hold it back anymore… Why has the inventor chosen to take so many design elements from children’s toys? I remember fisher price toys from the 1980’s using buttons like those. Somehow the bumper areas seem to be pulled straight from the tonka toys I used to play with when I was 5… and they were the plastic ones that gave Tonka a bad name… (before they went back to the die cast, and other great features.) I mean this in the most optimistic way possible, the idea needs a more mature redesign to fit the features it offers, and both more modern materials in use, as well as a significantly more industrial appearance. With those improvements, this thing has a lot of merit for homeowners, or those who are tasked with inspecting for quality standards. and general contractors. Just for the fact that you can hold this in one hand, and perform a bunch of inspections very rapidly. Plus, with all the lasers built in, the memory functions, and the display, it could cut the time it takes to finish the job in half.
But… That assumes it can be made like a more conventional tool, rather than a toy prototype (Yes, I get it is literally a Kickstarter Prototype, but this needs to be remade by some company like Stanley, or Milwaukee, or Gearwrench, even Klein or Bosch would make it more market-ready.) otherwise it’s… yet another Kickstarter crazy product.
MM
I get the 1980-1990’s toy vibe from this thing too. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out exactly what toy this looks like, but I swear it’s the spitting image of something I saw when I was a kid. If nothing else the handle looks like that from a ST:TNG phaser.
JoeM
Oh, name a toy line MM! I had a TMNT smoke-bubble dropping jet that had similar buttons, the Speak-And-Spell had those kinds of buttons, there was Transformers Merch (Walkie-Talkies, Voice Changer, all sorts of things) and a bunch of various remote controls for kids’ electronics that used them.
I can practically feel that soft-plastic texture under my fingertips when I look at the image! Raised button label printing and all, because the ink was always made of a harder plastic that was printed on the soft plastic button.
And I know I said a lot of little-kid/toddler toys in my examples, but back 30+ years ago, those kinds of buttons were absolutely everywhere on toys. I think one of my Brother’s model rocket ignition switches used one, and I could swear there were challenge games like “Simon” that had keychain-sized versions with them as well. Obviously we can’t leave out the Tamagachi virtual pets, or various kid-friendly musical instruments either. They were everywhere, and they always wore out super fast.
All of that said, I swear, I like the “Idea” of this tool. It allows for checking, double checking, and even recording those checks for comparing the different measurement types, all within the space of a quick motion. It might not be great for me, personally, but I know a friend of mine who inspects buildings for fire safety, and something like this may help speed up her job in any given building. Which is good, because she’s got 3 kids, and isn’t a very big human being as a whole, so anything to save her time and energy would be a bonus. I can certainly see where, even if it’s not the intention of the inventor for it to be used in these exact situations, it’s these situations that would most benefit from a perfected version of this.
I do like what this particular inventor likes to tackle with regards to problems. I like that he’s attempting to make things simple, and out of the way from the work area. He’s trying to enable the work to get done with fewer tiny operations that can be rendered somehow obsolete. I just wish he wasn’t working off Kickstarter, and instead was one of the people working for a major Tool brand to bring these ideas to market with more refinement, and superior materials. This guy isn’t stupid, and it’s really refreshing to see that kind of innovation. Now he needs someone to back him properly, so that he doesn’t have to make toy versions, just to lower the costs enough to make a profitable product.
King duck
I think your 3 words sum it up nicely
Bruce
I don’t need this hardly ever. Perfect Use Case:
I’ve got a guy on the chop saw making cuts for me. I take a measurement, press a button and it shows up on his cell phone display as the next cut he’s going to need to make. A scrolling list gives him measurements as I take them. I pick up my cut lumber and go install them.
In my job I get two guys working on a project like this about once every 5 years. The rest of the time, my tape measure is used just by me and half the time I don’t even need to write down measurements as it’s for something stupid like, how much space will this desk take up? Too much you ninny, they’ve shoved you into a smaller space and bringing your 3 piece desk and credenza to your new cubicle simply isn’t going to work….
Scott F
Those last two sentences couldn’t hit harder on my former life….
To hell with those 3pc POS, must have gotten rid of 35 of them. Everybody just loved fitting that one extra desk into the office… Y’know, except those in that office.
And now 99% work from home. Funny how that works!
HTG
I bought the M1 Caliber. It’s a useful adjunct to my mitre saw, and at an appropriate price. I’m really glad I bought it – it’s a really handy widget. While I have a significant array of tape measures of different shapes and sizes, I thought that many of the neat things about this could have advantages, possibly in a reasonable fraction of situations. I would hold there is indeed value in most of the bells and whistles added to this. BUT, the price is just way too high for the benefits for me. I’d sort-of like to be in on this – it would come in very handy sometimes. But for that money, it’s just not a good value proposition. At least, not for me. Shame.
Rick
“I don’t think so, Tim.”
Mike
I’d be so afraid of drop/loss/theft I’d never take it out of the truck 🤣
Jonathan
This seems like a great idea for 2 people working on a job site. One person can measure and transfer the measurements wirelessly to the second person who can cut them right away. Much quick to make a lot of cuts than to walk between or write them all down and transfer them.
Brent C
So this is a special battery as well? I’ve never heard of a 18500!
Stuart
18500 is not as widespread or recognizable as 18650, but it is a standard battery size.
It looks like the T1 comes with a battery pack, but the 18500 knowledge is useful since it means cylindrical and not pouch cells are used in the battery pack.
Jp
Makes me think of something I would see in a Sharper Image store. No thx
Harold
Way to expensive. The Shark Tank guys wouldn’t touch this!
Scott F
I started this post with the “no … way” mindset but as I read the article that changed a little bit. Is this something I need or want – hell no. But I’ll bet there are many people out there who use their tape measures for a whole lot more than I do, and could use these features individually somewhat often, and maybe even multiple at once from time to time.
Replaceable blade – not something I’d much need, but ok.
Storing measurements without writing anything down – neat.
Laser for easy marking – this is where I started seeing it differently. I didn’t realize the uses for this at first, but you mention good ones. I wonder if there is a level on it, use that laser for even more.
I likely wouldn’t buy one for myself or anybody I know, but it seems neat/unique enough to strike a place in the market.
Just don’t start marketing it as a 18-in-1, that’s when it becomes a gimmick!
Mr Mephisto
I feel like they should’ve fixed the issues with the M1 (Miter saw measuring wheel) BEFORE trying to market another interesting, but vastly overpriced measurement tool.
I have 1 arm leg function. So when I seen the M1 I bought it because of how much much it could help reduce the excessive amount of time it takes to set up my workpiece perfectly every time. But it was plagued with issues. And it turns out a lot of people had issues.
So with their track record, I am not going to give them more of my money on an unreleased item that is not manufactured yet.
Sylvester Mitchell
If you loss this tape measure that will be a huge pice to pay for a tape measure, and that’s the issue for me ,having loss many tape measures over the years.
David
Expensive, unnecessary, fragile, gimmicky. Other than those things, it’s probably a fun toy.
Zero interest.
Kenneth Stephens
Looks like it could be pretty handy for someone like me doing a lot of metal work and welding. Saving measurements and the laser look like pretty cool features that I could really use. Don’t know how practical it would be on a job site cutting 2x4s and stuff though. Seems more of a tool you can be within arms reach of but not actually carry it all day
MM
I do a lot of welding and steel fab. I have a lot of concerns about how this would stand up in that enviornment. I doubt it can handle welding spatter, so unlike a chrome tape I can just leave nearby, I’d have to constantly think about removing this tool to a safe place after every use. Also, where there’s welding there’s plenty of electrically conductive dust around thrown around from the welding itself, and also from grinding, cutting, and wire-brushing. I doubt this thing is environmentally sealed, and with all those buttons it’s not going to take long for that dust to get inside and wreak havok on the electronics. Also, it’s only rated for a 1 meter drop. How’s it going to fare if a piece of steel or a big clamp falls on it? I don’t think this thing can stand up to a welding/fab enviornment.
Matt S
Reminds me of the (cringe) 2011 movie “We bought a zoo” with Matt Damon. There is a zoo inspector in that movie, and he has an automated tape measure on his belt that he uses constantly. Movie was no good (my kid liked it- that counts), but I have always remembered that tape measure! I saw this and thought of that movie immediately. (The inspectors tape measure was meant to be an over-the-top absurd tool gag).
Joe dart
With the cost of lumber today I think this tape can be justified. I’m a big believer in “measure twice cut once” but this past week I was in a huge hurry and running back and forth. I made a measurement error on an $80 piece of plywood and had to buy another. I thought I had measured one thing and was to eager to go double check. Had that measurement been stored I would not have wasted $80….
Nathan
So I don’t see this as a rough construction tool. I’m not taking one to my next habitat for humanity build for example.
I see it like woodpeckers tools. It’s for the hobbyist woodworker/metal worker. and maybe to some degree a drywaller or finish carpenter.
I like the basic ideas – and I can see some usefulness. I could see relators or home inspectors using that with the mobile app to record measurements of a room etc. I’d argue you don’t need that lump on the back end
I don’t know I can justify 200 dollars – but I see benefit to it.
Unlike their mitersaw scale device which I saw as too inaccurate. But – I’d see using this tape when setting up my mitre cuts.
Corey Moore
I bet you get get Doom running on this thing
Steve
A good old regular tape measure works well for most applications at $25 – $35. I inspect buildings and create drawings for a living. This of no value. I can wear out a Stanley tape measure in a month. A laser measuring device like a Leica Disto make so much more sense.
KlR
For that kind of price you can keep them, I went to school.
Tim Karash
WHY CAN’T ANYONE MAKE A TAPE MEASURE FOR RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE ???
I’M TIRED OF READING AN INVERTED TAPE !!!
Tell me that when you measure something, you hold the tape measure in your left hand and make your mark WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND!!
Nathan
but you have to use your good hand to keep it steady for the 18 ft standout. . . . .
Sorry had to.
Brandon
Does it come with a bottle opener? Then we’ll talk.
Woodclaver
Kinda clever, but I’ve been using tape measures 60 years. Too much!
Besides which, Where would you put it? It’s twice the size of my Lufkin, Harbor Freight, or Snap-On 25 footers. I wouldn’t even consider it.
Mayday' Custom Woodworks
The biggest problem with digital tapes is that you may be 1/128″ over your measurement, but it’s difficult to know that on digital tapes. Actually if you could change it to thousandth of an inch scale, I’d probably buy one. For example- if it reads 17.879 instead of “a little bit more than 17 7/8 then I’ll buy.
As a custom cabinet shop we switched all of our measurements on Cabinet Vision to 1.000” scale and have seen much greater accuracy, saving tons of time.
Blocky
Tape measure on site is the tool that is always on my person, even when I step away or take lunch.
This form factor does not seem like something that will live on my belt at the ready and therefore is not a tape measure replacement.
