GREAT gift for a guy! Lots of bells and whistles

My (now former) BF spent like a half hour discovering all of the cool stuff about this thing. It was his favorite Valentines gift lol. Also now he will maybe leave my tape measure alone :) Worth the price! Too bad he took the thing when we broke up lol!

This product is so cool! No brainer! Get one!

I love it! This product makes projects so much easier and is super accurate. I threw all my other tape measures in the drawer and keep this one out. Favorite feature is how easy it is to measure inside measurements. So for example need to measure closet shelving is spot on. Just got it, so hopefully it’s built to last. Amazed other brands haven’t created their own versions of this yet.

Easy to use, see, and very accurate!!

This tape measure is very practical. I have owned one for 6 months. Unfortunately it got stolen. The tape have some neat features that will make measuring a breeze. The top display is crisp and accurate, it also have good viewing outside on bright sunny days. The top also features the memory buttons. There are 2. You can measure and store two different measurements and recall them at any time. You can also record over, or simply delete. On one side there's a handy pocket clip and on the other there are the buttons that do all the magic. The hold button will hold the measurement in question and the display will blink. Once you've written down or cut the material, by holding the hold button you can reset the tape measure. The middle button let's you find the halfway point of your measurement. So if you measure 4in it'll half to 2 in. It also will work with fractions. Say you have 7 1/8 in. It'll find the middle of it. The measuring set button will allow you to set what system you want to measure. Metric or inches. Shows feet and inches also. The start point button will let you measure from the front of the tape, like normal, or the arrow pointing back will start the measurement from the back of the tape. This is good to measure inside corners from a window, for instance. Look for the arrow on the bottom of he display. The tape measure is very accurate. I found that sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the battery for it to reset to start measuring from the 1/16"th mark. Otherwise it would start from. The 1/4" mark. If you want to simplify your life get this tape. I am buying a new one to replace the one stolen. Like other reviews had mentioned, you may have to baby this tape a little more than a regular tape measure. But I found no problem when I dropped mine. And I have done so a few times. Only a few scratches. Still worked great!!! Would recommend this tape measure!!

Love it allows me to work much faster

Love it, allows me to work much faster when not having to look down so close to see measurements and the memory feature is great can save two measurements so after taking measurements and walking over to saw can just bring it up on tape no forgetting and then have to re-measure. Very accurate compared it to “normal tape” and digital calipers and was dead on. Just remember when using outside of tongue to switch with arrows.

You won't regret buying this tape measure!

This is the best tape measure I have ever owned! The digital aspect of it makes taking measurements so much easier! When I have to measure corners, I am able to switch the setting so that the measurement is taken from the back of the tape-measure. Definitely see the video of the tape-measure in use prior to purchasing. It shows all the great ways this tape measure can be used. I use this tape-measure for all my building projects. Because I am doing construction often, the ease of this tape measure makes getting the job done much quicker! The tape measure also can quickly half the lengths for the user, which makes hanging things on walls in the middle a breeze! This tape measure is good for everyday use or people like me who are doing construction often.

It measures up against itself.

I gave this product four (4) stars (yeah yeah, I know, there's only 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can't but allow me to explain) because it's marketed as "measuring is made more simple, reliable and accurate." But as mentioned in many of the reviews, the digital reading is definitely inaccurate by 1/16 of an inch. Not good for tackling projects that call for precision measurements such as finish carpentry where a 32nd of an inch really matters. Excellent for tasks that do not require precision measurements such as rough carpentry, drywall, plumbing, electrical or simply hanging a picture. Three major features I so love about this little device are the memory, the center line, and using the back of the tape to obtain a measurement up to the corner of a wall. Simply put, AWESOME! And so, I am compelled to give this product an extra star because it impressed me that it still works after dropping it in a bucket of water not once but twice in different occasions. I highly recommend this product and will definitely purchase a few of 'em to give as birthday and X-mas gifts to my family and friends who work in the constructions industry.

High tech tape measure.

I just got my eTape16, so far so good. For what I can see, this tape measure is not the type you will through in your toolbox without looking where the tape will go, and I will not do that. But how can you do that? For sure the display will crack, scratch, break, who knows. It looks kind of fragile. I am not sure how long the electro-mechanical system will last, time will tell. Of course, the tape is very easy to use, no question about that, very accurate. This is no the tape you will take to work in your roof nor in a dusty, oily, dirty environment. In my opinion this tape is for a delicate jobs where precision is required. It will not go to my garage toolbox, I will keep it in my computer desk. Will report more later... UPDATE: An owner of the etape posted a picture saying his/her is not printed in inches and centimeters, mine is printed beautifully in both.

Practical measure with clear easy-to-read numbers

I'm doing home remodeling and need to take a lot of measurements. This feels a *lot* more accurate than my current tape because I'm not having to squint or crane my head around things to take a reading, bold and clear display with feet, inches, fractions. Instant conversion between units is handy. I like the centering function too - one button gives you the 'half' distance of the measurement - very useful feature for picture hanging. Every home contractor I've had over that sees this in action wants one like it.

Convenient

It is convenient to switch between different measurement systems by just a click. Sometimes I need measuring in inches, sometimes in inches and feet, sometimes in metric units. Other reviews say that it indicates 1/16 inch less than the actual length. It turned out, that is how it supposed to work. It does not round the measurement to the nearest value, but rather trunkets it. As long as you know this, you are good. A simple way to fix it is to stick a 1/32 inch thick pad to the measuring edge of the device. It will cause the device to “round” the numbers instead of trunketing them.

Finally a digital tape measure that works like you hope it would, plus some.

I literally have a stack of tape measures, every time i go to the hardware store i check them out for something new. After i had a weekend of family and friends over to help with my fence / deck they kept having trouble reading my tape measures. Granted, most of them don't use tape measure that often so i knew they were going to have a little trouble. After hearing them complain about reading the 1/16 and 1/8 marks i started looking for an easy read tape measure. I came across this digital tape measure, and it looked really cool. It is very accurate, switches easily between units of measure Inch / foot / metric. You can find the center of anything lightning fast with no brain power used. Love the inside / outside feature. Normally you use the tape measure lip as the spot to measure too. I had a bunch of areas that the angle changed so i needed a really good measure for inside to inside. You change it to inside measure and i got perfect cuts every time. Another neat feature, after you measure so far out you can reset to zero and keep measuring out. Very handy for multi run dimensions. The hold feature is very handy so you can measure blindly press the hold button and get a great measure, without straining your neck to read it in odd places. Can save the last 2 measurements for reference, that feature is great because you should always measure twice cut once. Being able to save the measurement ensures a more accurate cut, that you can go back to after getting sidetracked lol Don't think its heavy duty or ready for a construction site, but it's awesome for home use and moderate work.
