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! 😂

@davidburris120 4 месяца назад

Anyone who even dabbles wants it. I don’t see myself ever owning it.

@quicknik107 3 месяца назад

you have given a wrong answer to your first question 🙄how could you...

@A2ZGeek 4 месяца назад

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.

@TheReformationWoodshop 4 месяца назад

Absolutely. I can’t remember a thing!

@isstuff 2 месяца назад

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.

@joseurena5247 Месяц назад

I just got mine 1 month later and as a welder with bad math skills this thing helps a lot

@wsmarshjr 4 месяца назад

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.

@TheReformationWoodshop 4 месяца назад

That’s a great way to look at it, for sure!

@ShastaOrange 4 месяца назад

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.

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!

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 🤣

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

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!

@TheReformationWoodshop Месяц назад

Glad I could help!

Hey reekon quit messing around with new products and update the people who are still waiting for deliveries of the T1.

@sethvoshell786 28 дней назад

I just started my apprenticeship with electrical. I think this would help alot given I have a difficult time doing fractions effeciently and quickly. I think this could really bridge the gap in my lack of skill for measuring.

@TheReformationWoodshop 28 дней назад

For sure the digital readout rules👍🏻

@Saeedooooo 4 месяца назад

That is insane. Mine arrived last week. 😁

@bdslim1058 4 месяца назад

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!

@aydan7901 Месяц назад

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?

@justinbanks2380 3 месяца назад

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.

@TheReformationWoodshop 3 месяца назад

Yeah this isn’t one of those tools that makes you a lot of money back after you buy it. 🫠

@candidotorres2624 4 месяца назад

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!

@ericross9768 2 месяца назад

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

@paulbenjamin1725 3 месяца назад

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.

@Seniorsneaky123 4 месяца назад

They told me they still have to "research it". A damn clip. Only extra they gave was a stupid sticker.

Is the laser on a pendulum for plumb purposes?

@spinxt 20 дней назад

When you measured the thickness of the butcher block, it read 1-7/16. I'm not aware of a butcher block manufactured in that thickness. I question this device's accuracy.

@mckaymnm 14 дней назад

i just pulled mine out after sitting on it for 6or whatever months its been. i'm guessing the laser is how you turn it off. looking at the side i'm not positive i turned it off though. help?

@TheReformationWoodshop 14 дней назад

Yes, the laser button does turn it off all the way, but your measurements remain on the OLED display. Even after your battery is fully dead, they’ll still remain on the display. That science is above my pay grade lol.

@billsturma3360 4 месяца назад

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.

@TheReformationWoodshop 4 месяца назад

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!

@Kameron-The-Crafter 2 месяца назад

I'm sure a majority of cost comes from OLED display. But they are very energy efficient.

@dalittlebearjew8525 Месяц назад

with that price, that thing better cut my material as well LOLOLOL

@neurobook 2 месяца назад

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.

@chadzagone8577 4 месяца назад

@Seniorsneaky123 4 месяца назад

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.

Tape measures are always inaccurate I have 5 and not one lines up with another

@stevecolley6614 25 дней назад

Hi all. I am from South Africa. I purchased this tape back in 2022, number 876 to back the project! To date I have only received emails as to how delayed the project has been! Delay, after delay, after delay. I have tried emailing the guys doing the project, never, ever reply from nobody. Perhaps living on the African continent, you get overlooked, but yet they seem to accept your cash without a hitch. I would love to leave a good review, but circumstances don't allow. I will revert back if I ever receive it...

@georgemanteaw 2 месяца назад

So it’s not the worst tape measure you have ever bought.

@TheReformationWoodshop 2 месяца назад

No it’s not and thank goodness because of that price tag. 😁

@egok_Coba 3 месяца назад

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.

@stressballsteve 3 месяца назад

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

@aydan7901 Месяц назад

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.

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
