SPECIAL MENTION: Using a basic tape measure can be a three person job—two to secure each end and one to write down the measurement. Reekon improves upon the simple device with a laser line and digital display that records the measurement to within 1/32” and keeps a log of multiple measurements in a row with the click of a button. Measurement history syncs with a smartphone app via Bluetooth. It is currently available for preorder.
