Reekon’s Smart Tape Measure Will Blow Your Mind

As much as well love tools, you only need a handful to complete most basic home improvement tasks. While we generally prefer an old-school “if it ain’t broke” mentality when it comes to the basics like hammers, drills, screwdrivers, and tape measures, we’re making an exception for the Reekon T1 Tomahawk Tape Measure because hot damn, this thing is sexy. Fast, accurate, and forget-free measurements with robust digital measuring technology. Live view, OLED display that shows measurements of the tape measure, digitally, in both English and metric units–along with optional saving to the side-mounted e-paper display. Pair that with the stainless steel belt clip, thermoplastic blade coating, and high-contrast markings and you have the recipe for the best tape measure that’s ever been made. The Reekon T1 Tomahawk Tape Measure has absolutely crushed its initial funding goal, so per the Kickstarter details, it should start shipping in December of this year.
