The perfect tape measure. You will need to learn how to use it and adapt it to your operation. Accurate, Wonderful display. Saving your measurements is a life saver. Great for the DIY guy/gal. I did buy other digital tape measures to compare it to and the Tomahawk came out first every time. Bluetooth to your phone.

Ok i bought this as I am in construction. This thing has saved me time in many ways. From pulling a no touch measurement using the lazer to finding center at a push of the button, it makes everything faster and makes productivity increase. Also having the ability to make spread sheets by connecting to my computer and having all the measurements go on material lists is amazing. But wait there is more. The app is outstanding. I can have all my cuts saved to the app by job phase and visual representation of what is beimg built and modified. I, like you, have read the reviews and maybe thought oh sounds like too much trouble. The battery lasts all day then the next day as well on a single charge. Configuring this is a breeze and plus its not too heavy. The included holster is perfect for carrying the device. The only thing it needs is a clip for a pencil while doing layouts. Its worth the cost and an amazing inclusion to any tool enthusiasts collection.

I love this thing because it allows me to measure quickly while keeping a quick measurement record with a button click. It gives measurement variations as desired. It's big and very sturdy. It works with an app if you're working at a job site. The app is really too much for a DIYer like myself. I suspect a lot of the cost is due to the software app and the one used on the unit itself. I really like the flexibility, although it is a bit much for my skill set.

This tape is pricey, but you know what they say… you get what you pay for. Working around the shop, whether I’m doing welding projects, working in the woodshop or construction… this is my goto tape. Best part, I suffer from CRS, so it will remember for me.

The Tomahawk tape measure offers robust features along with some significant usability issues. Here's my experience:Pros:Durability: Built like a tank, it's designed to withstand rough handling.Customer Support: Responsive, though only available via email.Innovative Features: Includes multiple functionalities that typically require separate tools, such as a viewable measurement from any angle—a bonus for aging eyes.Cons:Calibration Process: While the tape measure is accurate, achieving this accuracy requires a complex calibration process that can be frustrating and time-consuming.Firmware Updates: The device frequently indicates that a firmware update is available, even after recent updates. But beware. If you apply a firmware update, whether its actually new or just the ever present message that says a firmware update is available, you will be back to step one, which is the calibration process, which isn't any easier the second time around.Charging System: Lacks a standard USB port on the battery; charging can only be done via a port on the tape measure itself, making the tape measure unusable while charging the battery. Have a second battery, you double this frustration!Battery drain has been improved with firmware updates but you will experience battery drain.Label Printing: The label printer requires the use of a smartphone app, which is impractical for use in conditions like working on scaffolding. Ideally, one should be able to print labels directly from the measure to their printer but the app middleman is a requirement.Despite its solid build and helpful features, the Tomahawk tape measure's design overlooks practical, real-world use. The calibration and charging systems, in particular, need improvement. I've communicated these issues to the company and received a standard acknowledgment but no substantive follow-up.Rating:While the Tomahawk is not a 1-star product, I felt these real world examples wouldn't be noticed if I gave it a 3 or 4 star review. The mentioned issues might deter some users.This is a real-world review aimed at highlighting the practical aspects of the product.

Well after fiddling with the T1 for a day or so here are my initial impressions and will update this review in a years time.While technically a tape measure, the rest falls into the domain of digital devices and appsLike all digital devices, it is only as good as the software and firmware written for itBluetooth, which is what this device uses is the main avenue of communication, needs to work seamlesslyThat will depend on the quality of your iPhone or iPad or Android deviceBy that, it implies that you will need to have a good comfort level of working with digital devices and computersMany folks do not and therefor I do not recommend this for themThe Rock Jobsite app allows you to receive measurements for your projectThe app is ingeniously layed out for your jobs, be it framing, door jamb and door or window dimensionsYou can input measurements from a plan into your project and lay them out side by side with your live measurements on the go.Another example is if your table saw worker is say setup some 20 ft away in a shed, with the T1 you can measure and send the measurements to the table saw worker as you go.The possibilities are quite impressiveThe T1 Tomahawk is, precise, well thought out and has a huge potential if Reekon decides to pursue this project over a sustained period of time. a few things to note1) make sure your battery is fully charged on the T1 and your app device2) verify the calibration is what you assume it is3) keep both the firmware and software app up to date4) though technically speaking this is a tape measure, it is actually a mini computer/calculator/ digital deviceLike all innovations there have been and will be teething issues that iron themselves out as time goes onAt this moment, it seems well resolved.Yes you need to move the tape to get the T1 to set itself to zeroYes there at times be some lagThe green laser is very helpful for further precision as well as the mini pencil slotThe E paper and functions on the tape measure alone are worth the ticketYes it is expensive, but I see the money spent not only on the device but towards a company that is " on to something unique and innovative"This T1 Tomahawk to our surprise came with the protective holster.In conclusion we recommend this device IF you are comfortable with digital technology , if not its better to stay analogue and spend your money on a course in carpentry

The idea is great. Its great for carpentry projects with many different measurements involved. The laser line is useful for measuring walls and marking floors or ceilings. Outside of carpentry and maybe plumbing, its uses are limited. Im an electrician by trade and do woodworks in my free time. With a 9 foot standout, measuring ceilings could be done better with a traditional tape like a fat max or klein tape measure. The battery life on this tape is not the best, but with its compact that is to be expected. With a type-c charging port, you can easily use it with a power bank and charger cord long enough to not be restrictive. The clip on the side is quite long and held in with a single screw and a piece of thin plastic. Mine hasnt broken, but the plastic flexes more than I'd like and the screw needs to be retightened on occasion. The fact that this connects to yer cell phone is pretty sweet. The different modes it has are incredibly useful. It took me a while to get used to using the different modes, but now measuring for cabinet lights is a breeze. The e-paper screen sometimes flashes if left alone for too long, but aside from that, both screens are clear and easy to read. Really the only reason i dont give 5 stars is that its no replacement for a regular tape measure, but its got some great features.

Man I love this thing it is like a tape measure for dummies I have a very low level math skill so understanding and reading a tape measure is quite difficult for me but this simplifies it man to the T the product is so good that I jumped in on a Kickstart for a smaller version of this that's how confident I am in their products yes it's a little pricey but man for people like me it is worth the price when it makes measuring things so simple

Very disappointed after waiting months only to never have the pleasure of seeing how it operates. Also the quality for the price is a 3/10. Only worth 40% of asking price.

This might be pricey, but man is it ever a hug timesaver. I've found the accuracy to be really good; love the lasers to take offset measurements and the firmness of the tape to be able to make tiny adjustments. Super easy to consistently measure to 1/16th of an inch.
