Don’t feel bad that you had to actually learn the concept of fractions. Just watch. Today’s helpers don’t understand what ,”them little black lines are on a tape measure.” Tomorrow’s helpers won’t understand why you can’t just call out whole numbers, and make it work.

As a carpenter I would like to chuck this off a third story roof onto concrete and stress test it. Also looks like complete overkill and most likely have issues I'll stick to a normal tape for now way cheaper to replace by the time winter consumes yet another tape
I'm from South Korea. Of course, I work in the industrial field, and I hope it will be officially released in South Korea as well! This is revolutionary!
I swear I was thinking this is how I’d make a tape measure and it would be perfect but I thought it about 6 months ago. For this product to be out they had to think of it a couple years ago. Cudos I can’t wait to purchase if not too expensive.
I’m skeptical! I need to see some stress testing. Any construction field involving cutting has fine particulate dust. I imagine there are many intricate parts that can gum up. Will it survive a 4ft drop? Moisture? Heat/cold vs led screen? This might work for a climates controlled dust free wood shop/metal shop. I destroy 4 or 5 heavy duty(simple) tape measures a year like most trades people. I’m sorry but I don’t see the appeal, just the problems
When taking a measurement, I'm always doing addional addition and subtraction of fractions for the actual cut I will be performing. Would be nice to have a preset button to add or subtract for each measurement I make. Also, it would be nice to implement the lengths of the lumber you are using come in. Example 12' 16' 20' then make all the measurements around the house divide it into the lengths provided and "boom" a perfect order list of lumber to your phone. I could go all day.
Would have been cool if you did a auto center , measure to a point hit a button and it tells you center, one step more it lights up when you measure in to the center point
This is perfect for my dad and for miter saws. He has a hard time mostly trying to measure everything right right when he is ready to use the miter saw

I measure glass all day at work, sometimes up too 300 measurements or more per shift. I really wonder if this device could take on that much consistent use or if it's more for the everyday carpenter.
The problem with this tool is "Pre-order in March" and then somewhere in the comments is "delivery later this year". This means they lack the capital to get it going, and I think this pre-order "go fund me" nonsense is a model that doesn't work in a pandemic world, you may never get it. While I've pissed away $ 200 before, I'm getting tired of pre-paying for things and then never getting them
i was gunna make some snarky, only a noob carpenter would need this, but i think i kinda want one for finish carpentry, reading 64ths instantly seems good for those times i want some cabinet doors or trim.
This looks like it solves many of my normal pain-points when using a tape measure and it looks like you've incorporated some improvements learnt from your M1 Caliber. Does the tape measure read incrementally and need periodically zeroing between measurements, or does it read an absolute distance like absolute calipers do? How does it perform with moisture or dust and dirt? Is it possible to clean it out? Will it be able to calculate the expected hypotenuse of a frame and guide the user to squaring it? Edit: Just noticed that you've already provided an answer to the absolute / incremental question in the video description. The dirt / moisture question still stands though.
hey Andrew, the tape has absolute correction and is a closed loop system (unlike the M1 which relies on the contact between the wheel and wood). There are wipers at the mouth but the case can be taken off it too much accumulates inside (the spring and tape are attached to one side so it can be opened)
Working in the trades most my life. I just cant see a benefit. Its solving a problem that never existed. It's really bulky. And a normal tape measure is fast and effective already. Takes like 2 seconds to measure and mark. Dont need a 200 dollar tape measure that wont really benefit me over a standard one.
I prefer to guess the measurements… here in South Africa nothing needs to be so precise;-) ( only kidding) Looks like a fantastic tape measure! Thanks for sharing!
I did finish carpentry for 16 years. This thing is huge to carry and I'm much faster without it. This is great for women or or people doing home projects.
I remember when the first battery powered tape measure came out 10 years ago. All I said wonderful something else I have to buy batteries for. Pencils cost .20 cents.
judging by the video, this is a tool for carpenters and builders. What is a metalworker to do? Can we use this for accurate measurements of workpieces?
My main concern is if I drop it... How will it survive? On the job site things get In the dirt, thrown, dropped, stepped on. I want to see a durability test before I make a purchase.
Hopefully I have better luck with this tool when it comes out than with the M1 caliber mitre saw gauge. I don't have 6' to the right of my blade and can't calibrate and moving my custom homemade workstation isn't feasible so I have to return it. Hopefully Reekon will make a newer revision that doesn't have this limitation. Hope this helps the next person behind me because I didn't find this out until I tried to calibrate according to the RUclips video.

Please ur company information
We need it soon
Thanks
I'm not the type of person to put a lot of trust in high tech but I do admit that this tool looks very impressive.
now it is june, still not available ;-) a typical startup
a real craftsman uses Meter or Roulette, not that crap, as if the person doesn't see how much the roulette indicates and it shows digital crap
The pencil holder sold me. I just needed something to hold my pencil. I can't even read a tape.
I love the fact its got a mark line laser on board...Brilliant.
Wow! As a hobbyist woodworker who has dyscalculia and absolutely abhors measuring, this could be an total game changer. I want!!!!
The total game changer would be switching to metric system
Dam 30 plus ➕️ years in construction 🚧 towards the end for me and now they come out with this lol well I will be dam....
pushing forward!
I feel the same way. I got to get this, it would make my kitchen measure a lot quicker
You can still get it! That screen looks perfect for old guys. Nice and easy to read the numbers, don’t even need glasses!

Would have been cool if you did a auto center , measure to a point hit a button and it tells you center, one step more it lights up when you measure in to the center point
It does have an auto center function (along with upgradable firmware so we will be releasing new features regularly)!
