Taking an Internal (Inside) Measurement with the T1 Tomahawk

The T1 can measure either from the front reference surface or from the back of the T1. When capturing an internal measurement, the T1 automatically compensates for the length of the tape measure body and allows the rear reference surface to be used to capture internal measurements.

  • This function doesn't seem to work with the relative measurement feature. As soon as you select the relative measure function with the internal measurement feature active, it gives you an initial relative measurement of 6.5 inches without moving the tape at all. In other words the relative measurement function always assumes your first measurement was from the front of the tape regardless of if the back of the tape mode was selected first or not.

  • Hi Paul, this is how it is designed to work.  Relative mode only changes from the front of the tape measure begins (i.e. the position that it displays "0" at).  Measuring from the back, regardless of the starting position, is always going to be exactly 6.5" longer as the body of the tape measure is fixed in length.
