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’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
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 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.
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.
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)
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
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.
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?
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
When your measurement system is so complicated you need a special, digital measuring tape for that... xD Also, 0:51 - what side are we aproaching the limit of 0/0?
Where can I get the pencil attachment. I spent really good money and have been waiting for over a year and still no simple easy link on the site. Does this exist for the tomahawk?
So I understand the laser measure devices. But why over complicate a tape measure? It's a cool idea, but thinking about all the things that can fail on this during the day, and then thinking about the price it would cost to replace it after it breaks. What kind of warrantees does this have? How long is the battery life? How rugged is it? Is it water proof? Also want to mention size, if this is a replacement for the standard measure is there going to be a normal sized version of this?
That'd be cool cause the first time you cut something to short you could say is the tape measure fault not mine I just cut the tape measure did the measurements
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.
Can’t wait to get my hands on this bad boy. Definitely will help on the job. The real question is how Accurate is the device I had a device similar to this 1 in the past it was always off by 1/16 or 1/8 +/-. How often should this device be calibrated.
The steel tape usually breaks after a while. I don't see in the video where the tape is changeable. I would hate to throw away such an expensive tool because I cannot change a broken tape.
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!
Is the blade bendable..for inside measurements where I need measure from end to end but just an inch or 2 before the other end. (Not sure if I worded right)
Hello, my friend, I would really like to purchase this beauty measuring tape, I looked on some sites such as amazon brasil among others and it is not found which site I can find that makes the delivery safely in Brazil?
How accurate is it after dropping it off a ladder a few times. Tapes are one of the most abused tools in the trade. I can't see this lasting in a real world construction environment.

I love the fact its got a mark line laser on board...Brilliant.
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.
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
My husband's an IT technician and constantly needs to measure things like conduit.... I think he would love this!
