Hey Adam, appreciate the review and feedback. The auto lock mechanism is intentionally designed like that and needs to be balanced between locking and not wearing out instantly (as grip and wear resistance are inversely correlated). Undoubtedly highlights the need to create a full lock version for some users based on preference and issues that will be addressed in our long roadmap of future products!
@@AdamsLab no need to apologize just wanted to explain that they are different mechanisms with different intentions. We are happy to hear your feedback and just wanted to help provide some behind to scenes as to the differences and acknowledging that it is intentionally different.
I want one and I was about to purchase it. I watch other videos prizing this tool. You are the only one who has a true review; the good and bad. I will wait it it drops below $100.00. Thank you!
@@AdamsLab we never pay for reviews and never will, discussion and feedback is essential to making better products and we welcome feedback from all sides and perspectives!
@@AdamsLab yes we have done that but dont compensate for reviews with any payment or ask for any editorial approval before being posted - users are free to post whatever they want based on their impressions of the product
@@REEKONTools - I get it's an inconvenient truth, but getting free product is payment and incentivizes people (influencers 🤮) to not speak honestly on the bad things about a product. If I 💩on your product, fair or not, you're probably not going to send me anymore free stuff. While a reviewer/influencer may not rely on the product directly (there not turning around and selling it for example), they do rely on being able to create content around the product(s) they receive for free. They need the product to make content, you want your product to be promoted, you have a symbiotic relationship. It's quid pro quo, it's you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours. That no longer works (for you) if the reviewer/influencer is saying bad things about your product. If it no longer works for you, it no longer works for the reviewer/influencer because you're no longer going to send them free product to make their content around. While the reviewer/influencer may have the best of intentions, this symbiotic relationship is ripe for creating perverse incentives. You don't have to directly influence the review via editorial approval or have it spelled out in the contract, because the understanding of what you do for the reviewer/influencer and what they do for you is baked into the *business relationship* you create when you exchange goods (your product) for services (the review).
Oh feel like it isn’t aimed at yourself when used with the rock app it does do a whole lot on the job site just my opinion I bought one along with the mitre saw attachment and they are amazing once you get your head around using them

Thanks for the review you pointed out some good flaws regarding the gadget.

I mean, every other tape measure I’ve used locks properly 🤷♂️
@@AdamsLab an autolock is a very specific mechanism (push to activate) that differs from a push fixed lock (and has much different mechanics) to it
Ok? That may be, I still consider it a design flaw that the tape moves with the slightest touch/jostle. Sorry for being honest…

Yeah, I suspect like most companies REEKON pays people for “reviews.”

Free product in exchange for a review = paid review. And I know for a fact that you’ve done that (at least in the past).

pay it and
I've been waiting for a year... damn it
When it's 100$ or 150 I might buy it
If they fixed the tape lock $100 would be about right…
Speciality tools will never be worth it to diy or home owners cause you don’t do repeated things enough to offset the cost of the tool.
@@waynekeizer5720 - You don’t listen very well.
This thing is to expensive and a friend of mine says his was getting error messages 😮
Interesting, other than the issues I mentioned I haven’t had any errors.

“iT’S NoT MeAnT FoR YoU” doesn’t excuse the crappy lock.
What looks good to one person maybe doesn’t to another
The lack of a functioning lock is objectively bad. You don’t have to be a “pRoFeSsIoNaL” to realize that.
@@AdamsLab mine works fine
Cool
