I Bought The WORLDS MOST EXPENSIVE Tape Measure // Reekon T1 Tomahawk
Рет қаралды 24,151
3 ай бұрынI 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

@billsturma3360 3 ай бұрын
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.

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...

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.

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.

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 Ай бұрын
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

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
