- I was a little skeptical at first but I definitely find myself reaching for this tape more often than my others. It's a great addition to the shop but definitely not the cheapest tool I own. I'd love to hear what you think about it!

Do I need it? Probably not.
Do I see other people needing it? Yes.
Do I want it? Definitely! 😂
Anyone who even dabbles wants it. I don’t see myself ever owning it.
you have given a wrong answer to your first question 🙄how could you...
I just got mine 1 month later and as a welder with bad math skills this thing helps a lot
I’m a handyman and woodworker. I’m all for tools that make my life easier and for $200+ but saves me time is well worth it. I’m also dyslexic and ADD so having this thing save all my measurements is amazing.
Absolutely. I can’t remember a thing!
I have order one on the kickstarter, yet to arrive… but I got it because I love my digital callipers so much because they take out the guesswork. So this was going to take out the guesswork of reading the tape. If it ever arrives.
This reminds me of when PCs first came in back in the '80s (yeah, I'm old). It took awhile to understand their full potential. And when we did, it changed how we worked.
That’s a great way to look at it, for sure!
Maybe it's like that. Or maybe it's like that $400 drink fetching robot from the '80s that never caught on. That thing cost a fortune and changed nothing.
Perfect review exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I will be purchasing this product. Oh and I saw you with a pen or maybe a pencil that I’ve never seen it said pica on it are those good
Nice! Looking sharp and great overview of the T1.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey reekon quit messing around with new products and update the people who are still waiting for deliveries of the T1.
good review, just bought one from the new Amazon launch. Can't wait to use it, would have been so nice on my last garage project 🤣
Hello, I'm Jose from Puerto Rico. I backed this device on Kickstarter in 2022, but due to some issue or confusion, I received it on April 17, 2024. Finally, I started using it and found this video very helpful. You provided a detailed review of this tape measuring device. I like the way it feels in my hand, even though it is a bit heavy. Additionally, the digital features make it a fun tool to use. Great job!
Glad I could help!
I thought this was a cool kickstarter project and have invested in good ideas in the past so threw the money down. So far I am overwhelmed by this tape but am not a professional carpenter so am looking forward to its use on my projects. Clearly it is an amazing product and coupled with the app that has infinite possibilities I see this as the future of measurement. Time will tell whether it is worth the additional money but for me I cannot recommend it highly enough
Cheers Mate, Great review.
Appreciate it, you rule 👊🏻
Hi, we were really impressed with your thorough analysis of the Reekon T1 Tomahawk tape measure! We admire your attention to detail and the way you evaluate tools. We have a product that we believe would pique your interest as well. It's designed with similar professional standards in mind and we'd love for you to test it out and share your honest review with your audience. Could we send one over to you? Looking forward to potentially collaborating with you!
Just received mine. Also pledged from Kickstarter. Did take 2.5 years to receive here in Australia, but definitely worth it. Though, how do you use the targeting mode?
That is insane. Mine arrived last week. 😁
where did you get the pencil holder?
I wanna know the same thing mine didn’t come with one
but can it shoot the tape forward?
I got one. I love it. I waited a year and a half for it. It's definitely worth it.
I waited a while as well, definitely glad I have it though!
I love this thing! Everybody at work wants to use it.
Let's see how many buy it.
I Love It!
That laser and ePaper display on side storing measurements is super cool and would be crazy useful, I definitely want one, but can't even come close currently to justifying getting one.
Yeah this isn’t one of those tools that makes you a lot of money back after you buy it. 🫠
i bought as a contributor to the crowd funding deal. I was amazed that it actually arived. i is scary but awesome, a whole new learning experience.
Yeah crowdfunding is not a fun experience but it does get the ball rolling on cool things like this.
OK so that tape measure is amazing! That would be great for people like me that have to find reading glasses just to see the numbers and marks. Of course I could never afford it but it would be extremely useful!
Actually it’s a fair price for what it does. Imo
I love mine!. Had it for week, game changer. Only issue I have is I did not have pencil clip in my box.
They told me they still have to "research it". A damn clip. Only extra they gave was a stupid sticker.
@Seniorsneaky123 lmao so I es not the only one missing the coveted pencil mark clip
This si reallly cool
For sure!
Mine didn’t come with a pencil holder
Will it account for when the rivets get lose on the end of the tape?
Just buy a replacement tape to go in it. They sell them....
I like it. It will take me a bit to get used to using it but i'll buy one even at $200. Of course less expensive would be nicer but most of my better quality tools always cost a bit more. I think once I have some time with it, it will end up paying for itself in time and accuracy very quickly.
That’s pretty much how it’s gone for me. All you have to do is start using it and it’ll start to feel natural!
I'm sure a majority of cost comes from OLED display. But they are very energy efficient.
I want it!!!
Sell your car and get one! 🤣
i got 1 i love it
Good to hear!
I just got mine few days ago, I paid 150
I love mine
Good to hear!
That sht is cool
Would be ridiculous to claim that one doesn't need it... tss
Of course I have one, just received it 😍
As someone who has dyslexia and a post it note brain, this is like a gift from god 😂
Preach 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Would prefer a critical view comparing the accuracy of the measurements to known quality tools like from Starrett, others. Demonstrate how I can make reproducible accurate measurements for known standard reference cut material. Everything else sounds like a sales pitch.
You're gonna need a whole other tool belt for that beast.
For sure, it’s a big boy!
Really cool, but I think I'm too dumb to figure out how to use it!
If I can figure it out, you can too!
Tape measures are always inaccurate I have 5 and not one lines up with another
with that price, that thing better cut my material as well LOLOLOL
Everything’s a saw if you try hard enough.
Nobody wants to say what kinda stand out it has. That's the only thing that matters
Stand out is nice for carpenters. But to us cabinet makers we need some flexibility.
Was supposed to come with a pen-holder which I really wanted, but I guess a literal clip that snaps to the side is too much for these guys. Gonna spend another 3 years "researching" it? Terrible company, promised us extras for delays but don't even deliver on a damn clip for a marker. Never buy something from these guys, I know I won't ever again.
Using my milwaukee tape measurer again cause it aint a stupid gimmick that breaks from a 6 foot drop.
In resume... you can expend 200+ dollars in a gadget that do your fractions nonsense or... You can use metrics. The End. 😋😉😁
🤣🤣🤣
So it’s not the worst tape measure you have ever bought.
No it’s not and thank goodness because of that price tag. 😁
no thanks if I needed a paperweight I just go get a rock it's cheaper
Do not buy this product, I have been waiting for it to arrive for 6 months, others have been waiting for 1 year and even 2 years to receive it.
I’ve got mine and it’s great. I purchased it on the pre release as I got the M1 as well. Yes it’s been a wait but I’d rather have a working device than a paper weight
It's what to expect when pledging a crowd funding project. It takes time to gather all the necessary resources and put the item in full production. And for a smaller team, of course, there will be delays. I did finally receive mine after 2.5 years from Kickstarter pledge, but definitely worth it. Soon they will more available stock and people will be able to buy it without waiting months.
If they drop the price to half, i still wouldn't buy it , its way too expensive, but don't worry China will bring one out soon at a much lower cost
Not gonna get the app or won't last as long either
Obviously you don't work with a tape measure making measurements hundreds of times a day. This is world changing for people that do in fact need to make measurements daily
Yer I see your point, But lets be honest it's way too expensive , it's the same with all the tools ,China will bring out something like it for at least of a quarter of the price
@MalcolmJames-sg3zgover priced when has and OLED display and smart features don't make me laugh.
@@Kameron-The-Crafter Well buy one and make the company laugh , ...ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK 😄 😅 🤣 😂
