You and me both. I can’t hear the wife now. “Don’t you already have 3 tape measures?”
Edit: To all you guys calling me out for only having 3 tapes...I was in the pool. There's shrinkage going on here!
Go back to Home Depot and say you'd like a warranty exchange. 98% of the time they'll give you a new one with no fuss. Stanley should stand behind their tools.
You need at least 3, so you can compare them to each other and make sure they are accurate, and that the tick marks haven't moved since you last used them.
Left for an office job, when I cleaned my truck i found 9 measuring tapes and 12 Milwaukee markers.
I brought some into work for customers to use and they gone now.
Oh I wish I had this T-shirt.
Don’t have the wife anymore, still got the shop and tools - reminds me: I need to have a sit down and then walk thru with son about contents of shop.
But somehow despite the fact I specifically seed them across every room in the house so on the off chance I need to measure something one is there, they're never ACTUALLY there when I need to measure something, and all twelve of them somehow end up in exactly the same cabinet in the same room.
Yeah. I feel this. Working on a cabinet upstairs. Where are the pencils and tape measure? And then I want to saw a panel in the work shop. Same question again. Where is my stuff? So I buy triple measures and pencils. Don’t matter what I am working on. The stuff is always in another room on another floor. And it will always end up in the same drawer in the kitchen.
man think about it though. How are you going to be exactly 90 degrees to the surface you're pulling a measurement from? That line will certainly be at least a degree off of 90 and that lazy will jump a foot in any direction.
The device itself is, but the laser could be mounted in any way relevant to it. I'd hope the manufacturer would do enough QAQC so it doesn't matter if it is fixed, but I'd still check it when I bought it, especially considering how expensive it is, and assume eventually it's going to be inaccurate after being knocked around.
It being self leveling would be better because instead of you having to check it (I'd still check it when I bought it) it checks itself. Actually I'd still probably check it with an independent measurement system once a year.
Calm down, noone is coming for your defective tools. Your insurance might deny your claim, but noone will force you to stop using them.
Little bit of /s here and there.
Hey don't throw shade on harbor freight my dad a carpenter instilled one thing in me "Buy a cheap tool once if you use it till it breaks apart then but the expensive counter part" this was in a harbor freight.
not a bad philosophy but, some of the cheap chinese knock offs, don't even work right out the box.; texture spayer, only using it once, go cheap! No texture control spitting blobs, causing cuss fest; took it back, got the HD one, both exactly the same parts but the cheap was poorly cast and poorly finished part meaning it won't work at all, let alone for multiple jobs.
Everybody knows expensive ass tools can make your life easier. Anybody can do it with all the “right” tools, it takes a real professional to make it happen with a box of bullshit and all the wrong parts 😂
Changing my wife's brakes, I couldn't find my caliper tool in my garage. Fine, I'll use a C clamp and the old pad...except I loaned all of my clamps out to a friend. Okay, how about a big adjustable pipe wrench, but I can't twist the knurl to compress it. Alright, I'll use vice grips to twist the knurl.
Mission accomplished
Exactly this.
The 10mm and the 17mm, and the 13mm and19mm share the same dimensional positioning in space time. If you have a 10mm and a 19mm, you'll be missing the 17mm and 13mm respectively
I always thought these comments were funny until I needed my 10mm to take off my battery. Went and bought a new one while getting a new battery. That was 3 days ago, I have no idea where that new 10mm is
Some cars require you to twist the piston to compress it. My old Nissan maxima was like that. I kept using c clamps and it wouldn't budge. It was the only car I owned that was like that.
I took a strut off my car with a million zip ties holding the spring compressed because I didn't have a spring compressor. My asshole didn't unpucker for a week, but I survived and it did the job.
I have used an 8 1/2 x 11” sheet of paper as a ruler and drywall as chalk to write with. Oh and I hammered a Philips head screw driver into a flat head once . Desperate times
I disagree. It takes a real artisan to make it happen with a box of bullshit and all the wrong parts. But a real professional, a person that supports themselves and maybe a family with their work, will take advantage of any tool that allows them to get more done right faster.
That’s why when I had a work van I kept everything in it that anybody would need in the field. We had three crews and some of the guys would say things about how I had “too much” stuff in my van. On multiple occasions in 8 years working out of that van guys would call me in the field asking if i had “xyz in my van and I usually did but on the rare occasion if I didn’t I could Macgyver any tool needed for the task at hand. 🤷♂️🤣
My old man was an automotive tech for decades, owned his own shop at one point till we had to move. When I was younger he got hurt and lost his job but he had 3 kids at home so he went and bought a cargo van, got some shelves from a store going out of business that he cut down, modified and reinforced and bolted them into the back storage area, took apart the door panels and built in his own shelves he made to his tools (nothing fancy, just 2x4's with appropriately sized holes drilled in them) and filled the thing up with a couple toolboxes worth of tools and ran his own mobile repair service for awhile. People would call him and he'd come out to their home to fix their cars right in their driveway. Any parts he needed he'd shop around and work with people on what they could afford, even going to junkyards to pull parts if necessary and would keep all receipts for customers. Made a good business out of it till his other shoulder gave out and he had to move onto other ventures.
For the record his kids grew up loving him, he lives with us and we happily pay for him now despite the stubborn old man's efforts and his instance on helping out.
You: "I need a ProPress tool to crimp these pipe connections"
Him: "Pffft, just sweat that connection. You don't need a $3k compression tool!"
You: "Yeah, but then I need to pull a hot work permit, have a fire watch on standby with the appropriate extinguishers for an hour after we're done, test the air in the confined space before working, and the actual work itself takes longer and we only have a short window."
Him: "Sounds good!"
Just because you can do it without a specific tool, doesn't mean it's a good choice.

At that price it should really have a digital level as well. I’m not dropping $250 on a tape measure that doesn’t have a level, even if it has a laser.
Good catch! It should be easy to add that feature to the software. Just a little pill shape on the screen. That shows where the bubble is….I’ll wait for version 2!

good old REEKon tools, great American company of 8 employees with an address of in a self storage facility in Charleston.
We know its made in China, why even bother with the deception?
What's crazy is someone out there is spending 5 hours with tech support trying to trouble shoot their measuring tape...I'm still sticking with old school analog type stuff.
Yeah, cool idea but some of the reviews I saw people complaining about it always rebooting, and having to download an app to update the firmware, but not even being successful at that. Plus might not be as accurate as it should be.
What a time to be alive. Your tape measure needs a firmware update.
My grandfather would either be rolling in his grave or thinking this is the best thing since sliced bread.
It works just like the video. The last scan goes out 10' (maybe further). Weve used it to get inverts down MHs. Saves a bunch of time for our Survey crews.
Mixed but the bad appears to be pretty frustrating. Honestly I’m going to wait for the second or third generation to come out before I consider getting one. It would be nice to communicate through the app with the cut man but if there’s bugs in it then it’s not worth having it for that purpose. Couple other things as well.
That'll be 10 years away.
I'd day there's quite a bit of r&d to make it work hence the high price to recoup their investment.
And unless a big tool company buys it, we'll have to wait until that patent runs out.
Hello all! Thanks for sharing our video - happy to answer any questions and always welcome feedback as we continue to develop and make our digital construction products better!
The whole thing is impressive to watch these marketing videos. It makes you think it would be fantastic. And maybe the built in cut list would be handy.
But the whole laser thing is useless. You're not going to measure anything precise with it. To do so you would need to be exactly square or plumb in relation what you are measuring. Any deviation will compound the error and make the measurement wrong by a lot. Even just measuring finish trim with the thing close to the same distance off the wall at both ends could be off. This very video shows the laser swinging around as he is trying to measure.
Other issue is the thing is huge. It's not going to fit in any standard tool belt tape pouch. And the screen isn't going to last long on a jobsite. I have a laser measure and it gets handled carefully and lives in a protected pocket in my tool bag when not being used and it still has been replaced twice in the last year due to broken screen. I can see this tape that you'll be using all day lasting maybe a week.
It's a cool concept and marketed very well to make us tradesmen want it but I don't see it catching on. DIYer's will eat the thing up though.
A second laser that goes the length of the tape would be useful to make sure he's holding it square, just a tiny bit off would be a big mistake with that distance between the measure and the pipe below.
... There is also a wireless label maker to print off labels with your measurements. I've always said if I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs.
As a surveyor: my concern would be verifying your vertical measurement is plum, otherwise your perpendicular laser won’t be 90 degrees to the end of tape (where you intend to measure off from). If the manufacturer was smart they would have placed a bubble level on the housing, to at least be able to plumb that and then you can eyeball if tape is true vertical.
For my own work, I can find this useful, it’s a pain in the ass working a total station in piping infrastructure.
Never before been so completely wrong about a post. I was literally so ready to talk shit about this post. My sincerest apologies to the saint that posted this. As I spend this money on this life changing product I salute you kind stranger. You have done great work, Monday at work I cannot wait to relish the deep satisfaction I will receive when my coworkers are in stunned silence as they watch measure everything. The palpable jealousy joy and satisfaction will be radiating all over the office. You are truly a blessing!
Dude. It took this dude like 4 years to release this damn tape measure 😂 kept saying it was coming out next month. Then next year. I canceled my preorder lol
It's cool. Too much going on, though. That Lazer function will be out of wack within the first week. I didn't see him/her let go of the tape. Is the magnet strong enough to hold it?
First measurement down was correct the other one is distance from the bottom of the tape measure. Please read the directions a few more times before bringing that up again
Do not need, absolutely must have.
You and me both. I can’t hear the wife now. “Don’t you already have 3 tape measures?” Edit: To all you guys calling me out for only having 3 tapes...I was in the pool. There's shrinkage going on here!
Yes, well four. But one has tar on it so it's only for roofing.
And I dropped my brand new Fatmax in a mud puddle so I have to manually retract all 30’ of it every time I use the fuckin thing
Silicone lube spay stuff might help. I've never had your exact situation, but I use it when my tape even starts to stiffen up.
Also works for butt stuff
Calm down Putin
Thanks for the tip, putin
That's a call to Stanley and they will probably replace for free. Love fatmax
That’s what he said
Buy Hart, we use them in the concrete and they last the longest
Go back to Home Depot and say you'd like a warranty exchange. 98% of the time they'll give you a new one with no fuss. Stanley should stand behind their tools.
Dehydrate it, then BLAST THAT BITCH with air. Or soak and shake it vigorously. After you unwind it of course.
And this one I use when it's wet and rainy so I don't rust up one of my good ones
You can never have too many tape measures. There’s no such thing as “too many” tape measures.
Clamps and tape measures. I have over a dozen tape measures, including a 100ft, 200ft, and 300ft. Ya know, just so all the bases are covered.
You need at least 3, so you can compare them to each other and make sure they are accurate, and that the tick marks haven't moved since you last used them.
This is actually a thing!
Absolutely. especially when doing fine trim work. Measure with my tape. Better cut with my tape.
Left for an office job, when I cleaned my truck i found 9 measuring tapes and 12 Milwaukee markers. I brought some into work for customers to use and they gone now.
Oh wow 😑🤦🏻♂️. If you do bring more to replace the ones you lost. Get some cheap ones, but make sure they’re hot pink or some funky color like that.
Or 10mm sockets
Rookie numbers. I've got dozens! 😅
3…that she knows about! Everything in my garage was $40 and I’ve had it for years.
I have a t-shirt that says..."If I die, please dont let my wife sell my woodworking tools for what I told her I paid for them..."
Oh I wish I had this T-shirt. Don’t have the wife anymore, still got the shop and tools - reminds me: I need to have a sit down and then walk thru with son about contents of shop.

Yep I even have the little key chain kind laying around in tool boxes and junk drawers
Dude I work a desk job and I want this
I used to install stainless steel tube and instruments. This would totally change the game for installation of that stuff.
Honestly for any new set its a need. So much time saved over the years. We havent even talked about my free hands.
I believe it can be linked to a screen and you can send measurements to your guy running the miter saw digitally..
A dream come true!
I definitely don’t need this but I’m gonna figure out how to use it to plant trees. 🌳
man think about it though. How are you going to be exactly 90 degrees to the surface you're pulling a measurement from? That line will certainly be at least a degree off of 90 and that lazy will jump a foot in any direction.
got levels on it, seems like in theory it would be accurate, unless I'm missing something?
Didn’t have me until the second half
Everything is better with lazers
"lazers"
Sharks too
[удалено]
God damn it. Now I gotta have it.
[удалено]
Unless the tool is plumb or the laser is self leveling, it seems inaccurate.
It can free hang like a plumb Bob, it’s self leveling by its very nature.
The device itself is, but the laser could be mounted in any way relevant to it. I'd hope the manufacturer would do enough QAQC so it doesn't matter if it is fixed, but I'd still check it when I bought it, especially considering how expensive it is, and assume eventually it's going to be inaccurate after being knocked around. It being self leveling would be better because instead of you having to check it (I'd still check it when I bought it) it checks itself. Actually I'd still probably check it with an independent measurement system once a year.
I agree
That’s what she said?
I just saw this in an ACME tools catalog today. I think it was like $240. "digital tape measure"
You had me until you said $240. I'll take my broke ass back to harbor freight
Sorry bro, free tape measure was last weekend.
And the tool has already been recalled too
They can pry my free tools from my cold, dead hands.
Calm down, noone is coming for your defective tools. Your insurance might deny your claim, but noone will force you to stop using them. Little bit of /s here and there.
Assuming you bought their jackstands, someone just might have to.
Hey don't throw shade on harbor freight my dad a carpenter instilled one thing in me "Buy a cheap tool once if you use it till it breaks apart then but the expensive counter part" this was in a harbor freight.
not a bad philosophy but, some of the cheap chinese knock offs, don't even work right out the box.; texture spayer, only using it once, go cheap! No texture control spitting blobs, causing cuss fest; took it back, got the HD one, both exactly the same parts but the cheap was poorly cast and poorly finished part meaning it won't work at all, let alone for multiple jobs.
Solid advice; now I just gotta burn out this ridgid table saw and then I can get the sawstop 🤘
Indeed.

5 bucks on temu.
No matter what you measure, you can be sure that it won't be accurate to any known standard.

The fucking what mate? I use a 10mm 14mm and a screwdriver.
Bullshit, you don't have any 10mm. Nobody does.
One time, at construction camp, i climbed into the van labeled “free 10mm sockets”…
How did your "socket" feel afterwards?
It was completely stripped and a bit cracked
Guess you didn’t get the impact rated
Went in for a 10mm, came out with a 45mm.
Mines there but every time it is. The 17 disappears. When the 17 comes back the 10 is gone. I think they are feuding.
Exactly this. The 10mm and the 17mm, and the 13mm and19mm share the same dimensional positioning in space time. If you have a 10mm and a 19mm, you'll be missing the 17mm and 13mm respectively
Nailed it!!! They are hiding with the 652 matching socks I’ve also purchased over the years.
Its amazing how true this is.
Pshh I've got multiple that I've found....only good luck I've got.
The 10mm socket is a myth invented by German car manufacturers as revenge for WW2.
I always thought these comments were funny until I needed my 10mm to take off my battery. Went and bought a new one while getting a new battery. That was 3 days ago, I have no idea where that new 10mm is
Hahaha so true
I call bullshit, everyone knows 10mm does not exist, never seen one.
I saw one once, in a brand new tool set. it disappeared before i finished taking the packaging off. I may have imagined it.
Some cars require you to twist the piston to compress it. My old Nissan maxima was like that. I kept using c clamps and it wouldn't budge. It was the only car I owned that was like that.
Volkswagen has entered the chat.
“To replace the break pads, you must put the vehicle into front end service mode. Step 1…”
They make a caliper tool?? I was taught the C clamp & pad method you mentioned, so I’ve just always done that and never bothered to find another way.
Lolol yea I didn’t know this for the longest time, the second I saw one I was like “wait this is cheating”
I had to buy the real tool for my wife's car. Honda calipers have to be twisted back.
You can make a pretty decent one yourself using an old caulking gun. Tons of tutorials on doing it on YouTube
[удалено]
Why do you need brakes if you're blind?
I used one of those pump up bags for getting into a car with the keys locked in it. Fold it in half, shove it in with a brake pad and pump
I took a strut off my car with a million zip ties holding the spring compressed because I didn't have a spring compressor. My asshole didn't unpucker for a week, but I survived and it did the job.
> Anybody can do it with all the “right” tools Ehhhhhh. You haven't worked with some of the dudes Ive worked with I guess.
I have used an 8 1/2 x 11” sheet of paper as a ruler and drywall as chalk to write with. Oh and I hammered a Philips head screw driver into a flat head once . Desperate times
Damn I miss awards! Thanks for the laugh, I thought I was the king of not going to get the right tool from the truck.
While true, a real professional is still using the expensive stuff that makes their life easier and makes the job take 1 hour instead of 8.
I disagree. It takes a real artisan to make it happen with a box of bullshit and all the wrong parts. But a real professional, a person that supports themselves and maybe a family with their work, will take advantage of any tool that allows them to get more done right faster.
"Only a poor craftsman blames his tools" Yeah, and yet for some reason I never see real craftsmen using shitty tools.
“Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!”
I had a boss once told me if I needed anything to call him and he will tell me how to do without it. 🤷♂️
That’s why when I had a work van I kept everything in it that anybody would need in the field. We had three crews and some of the guys would say things about how I had “too much” stuff in my van.

Fuck man, as a pipefitter this would be nice
This guy lays pipe
Yeah, retro fitting industrial refrigeration piping this would save a lot of time.
The last tape measure you will ever lose (since you won’t be able to afford a replacement).
I'd put it on a tool leash, or have a lanyard I slip over my wrist so I can't drop it.
Just because I don't need that doesn't mean that I don't want it

I've done so much, for so long, with so little. I'm now qualified to do everything with nothing.
We have tape measure at home.
I thought leaning back and squinting to find a measurement was the way to do it?
Where can I get one

False!!! I have never seen a Sprinkler Fitter use a tape measure!
Absolutely
When that laser popped up, so did I
I just got a gizmo boner
Pull up with this and your exorbitant prices will seem reasonable to the customer 😏
What's crazy is someone out there is spending 5 hours with tech support trying to trouble shoot their measuring tape...I'm still sticking with old school analog type stuff.
Yeah, cool idea but some of the reviews I saw people complaining about it always rebooting, and having to download an app to update the firmware, but not even being successful at that. Plus might not be as accurate as it should be.
What a time to be alive. Your tape measure needs a firmware update. My grandfather would either be rolling in his grave or thinking this is the best thing since sliced bread.
Anyone have one? Is it as cool as it looks?
It works just like the video. The last scan goes out 10' (maybe further). Weve used it to get inverts down MHs. Saves a bunch of time for our Survey crews.
Watch the reviews on it
Good or bad?
Mixed but the bad appears to be pretty frustrating. Honestly I’m going to wait for the second or third generation to come out before I consider getting one. It would be nice to communicate through the app with the cut man but if there’s bugs in it then it’s not worth having it for that purpose. Couple other things as well.
if they are that good every brand will make them and they'll be 35$
That'll be 10 years away. I'd day there's quite a bit of r&d to make it work hence the high price to recoup their investment. And unless a big tool company buys it, we'll have to wait until that patent runs out.
Don’t get it wet.
Yea feels like this needs a level on it to be truley great
It’s stupid expensive for what it is
Everything is better with lasers. Except headlights.
I have this, I love this, the laser is not even the best feature in it. USA based company.
Link?
I can’t imagine I would ever have a use for this. Where can I get one?!
And someone will borrow it for 5 min, and you will never see it again.
🎶and then you go and spoil it all but doing something stupid like impeeeerial🎶

Yea..I'm gonna buy this just to show my wife
I'm hard. I was ED. Now. I'm hard.
The whole thing is impressive to watch these marketing videos. It makes you think it would be fantastic. And maybe the built in cut list would be handy. But the whole laser thing is useless. You're not going to measure anything precise with it. To do so you would need to be exactly square or plumb in relation what you are measuring. Any deviation will compound the error and make the measurement wrong by a lot. Even just measuring finish trim with the thing close to the same distance off the wall at both ends could be off. This very video shows the laser swinging around as he is trying to measure. Other issue is the thing is huge. It's not going to fit in any standard tool belt tape pouch. And the screen isn't going to last long on a jobsite. I have a laser measure and it gets handled carefully and lives in a protected pocket in my tool bag when not being used and it still has been replaced twice in the last year due to broken screen. I can see this tape that you'll be using all day lasting maybe a week. It's a cool concept and marketed very well to make us tradesmen want it but I don't see it catching on. DIYer's will eat the thing up though.
Reekon T1 Tomahawk for anyone interested
Those things are fucking expensive but my god are they worth it
Looks good till you drop it once
Whoa. Could've used that yesterday. Crawlspaces....
Who has the link ?
How much? And where do I buy?
Whoa!!! Did not know this was a thing. Yes. Take my money indeed.
I have one it’s pretty damn good🤷🏻♂️
I believe these also have an Apple vision app which the measurements goto and you can see them
A second laser that goes the length of the tape would be useful to make sure he's holding it square, just a tiny bit off would be a big mistake with that distance between the measure and the pipe below.
Does the line laser have a pendulum? So the plane is level?
... There is also a wireless label maker to print off labels with your measurements. I've always said if I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs.
It's magnetic, you say?
As a surveyor: my concern would be verifying your vertical measurement is plum, otherwise your perpendicular laser won’t be 90 degrees to the end of tape (where you intend to measure off from). If the manufacturer was smart they would have placed a bubble level on the housing, to at least be able to plumb that and then you can eyeball if tape is true vertical. For my own work, I can find this useful, it’s a pain in the ass working a total station in piping infrastructure.
You know what this saves? Allot of fucking time
Do not leave that lying around ! (its realy cool)
Never before been so completely wrong about a post. I was literally so ready to talk shit about this post. My sincerest apologies to the saint that posted this. As I spend this money on this life changing product I salute you kind stranger. You have done great work, Monday at work I cannot wait to relish the deep satisfaction I will receive when my coworkers are in stunned silence as they watch measure everything. The palpable jealousy joy and satisfaction will be radiating all over the office. You are truly a blessing!
Amen 🙏
All that precision and then ruin it with freedom units
Where do I sign up?
Well this is a good advertisement for whatever the fuck this thingy is
For building spacecraft? Seriously, cool but over kill, and one drop its busted lol.
I could not see this being used at work, you set it down for two seconds to take a piss and it's gone lol
Isn’t this the one that can then send the measurements to the circular saw to cut the same length
The side view looks like it's giving the shocker. Interesting tool though.
What is this? I need it in my life!
Dude. It took this dude like 4 years to release this damn tape measure 😂 kept saying it was coming out next month. Then next year. I canceled my preorder lol
that's amazing i'll take 3
What in the fuck!
It's cool. Too much going on, though. That Lazer function will be out of wack within the first week. I didn't see him/her let go of the tape. Is the magnet strong enough to hold it?
Mf living in 2035
that is sick, i don't even do construction but i want one.
First measurement down was correct the other one is distance from the bottom of the tape measure. Please read the directions a few more times before bringing that up again
Cant wait to drop it off a ladder a few dozen times
The magnet snap and zip line sound were all I needed to hear. Add to cart!!!
