How does Bagel perform in string mode on building sites where there is water, mud, fine dust, in direct sunlight? All the KS show the tape being used in indoor environments. I love the idea, practically, even with current tape measures they don't last long, break, get stuck due to the environment we work in. How is bagel better than steel tape measures?
@a12rj Hi Anthony, thank you for some great questions regarding durability. We've used polycarbonate for the casing of Bagel smart tape measure, which makes it much more durable than it looks. We'll have videos of us doing drop tests, running over with a car, etc, so please stay tuned!

I've been waiting for something like this for years. Very excited. Not sure about the battery life though? Only 8 hours of constant measuring?
@rhdarian Hi Dariank, thank you for your comment. Battery life of 8 hours is the case when the device is in remote mode and constantly uses the sensor to calculate distance. On standby, Bagel's battery lasts up to 24 hours. So, depending on how frequently you use Bagel's sensors, the battery life will range from 8 to 24 hours. Thanks :)

How does bagel perform when dropped? What height can it be dropped from and survive? Tapes are often airborne when working from scaffold. Will I have to replace the Bagel the first time it's dropped?

I think in it's current conception it's a product aimed at the DIY and not the professional which chooses either the cheap, simple, durable or the very expensive, complex, automated, topographic 3D measurement device.
@abetancort Hi Alfonso, you are right. We were focused more on the DIY market when we first decided to work on this model. We will be developing more professional models in the future, and I hope you'll like those. Thanks!

Awesome idea but precision of 99.5% is not good enough. When measuring a meter, the result could be off by as much as half a centimeter.
@xpekeler Hi Christian, yeah we know we need more work to lower that error margin. We are definitely going work more on that before we ship it to our KS backers in Oct/Nov. Thanks!

Dying to get me one of these...
Hard to say how handy its going to be in construction sites. the different terrains and the battery life would be a huge parameter in these cased IMO.
Looks like a great promise. good luck guys!
@ishaiankri Thanks Ishai. If you are concerned about durability, we are going to upload a drop test video and also that of running over the device with a car. It will be up on our KS updates page within a week! Thanks!
