THE OLD WAY VS THE TRADIE NOTES WAY
SCRAPS & NOTEPADS
- Searching for scraps on the jobsite
- Trying to fit your detailed diagram on a rough timber block
- Scribbling on the side of your tape in pencil — barely legible, no room for detail
- Notepad getting destroyed in your tool belt
TRADIE NOTES TAPE
- E-Pad on the side of the tape — the number lives where you measured it
- One-button clear, then write the next one — thousands of times over
- 32mm wide blade with oversize hook, built for solo measuring

FEATURES
THE HEADLINE FEATURE
THE NUMBER STAYS ON THE TAPE
Every tradie knows the gap between the mark and the saw — that three-second walk where 2,340 turns into 2,430. Now the number is written on the side of the tape in your hand, exactly where you need it.
- E-Pad writing screen built into the side — jot it the moment you measure it
- One button wipes it clean for the next measurement
- Screen wears out years down the track? Swap it yourself with a $10 spare
- Runs on a CR1220 coin cell — 6–12 months of daily use
WHY I BUILT IT
STARTED ON A JOBSITE, NOT IN A BOARDROOM
G'day — I'm Samuel, a carpenter of eighteen years. I got sick of hunting for offcuts to scribble measurements on, and of numbers going missing between the mark and the saw. The little miscommunications nobody clocks — that's where the money leaks. So I built the tool I wanted in my own tool belt, and since 2023 it's ended up in thousands of them across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. That's me in the photo — and the tape measure is that same idea, built into the tool you already pull out fifty times a day.
REAL TRADIES. REAL JOBSITES.

STRAIGHT FROM THE JOBSITE
The tape is the newest tool in the range — here's what the first owners reckon. The good and the honest.
It actually surprised me how tough and great this tape is. I use it everyday as a trim carpenter, and so far its been tough enough to last on my jobs. And the scribble pad is awesome, I can only fit so much, but it beats writing it down on lil pieces of wood. Lol. Great product!

Tradie Notes Tape Measure 8M
I just recently got two tape measures and they are my new favourite hand tool. I don't have to hunt for a piece of timber or use my phone anymore, I can write measurements on the side quickly and hassle free. 5 stars!
Tradie Notes Tape Measure 8M
Good concept, yep handy to have a note piece. Nice crisp writing. This works better than my Tradie Note double pad.
Tradie Notes Tape Measure 8M
Great idea. Just a little bulky for me to carry everyday. Thinner would be 5 stars for me.

Love my new tape measure with notepad.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
No — the stylus is sold separately. The E-Pad is pressure-based, so a carpenter's pencil or the stylus from any other Tradie Notes device will write on it fine. It was designed to be paired with the 2-in-1 mechanical pencil + stylus, though — one tool on the belt that marks your timber and writes on your tape. That's the best combo.
Both exist. Orders shipping to the USA and Canada automatically get the imperial blade; everywhere else gets metric. No need to select anything at checkout.
It's a full-size 8m tape with a 32mm wide blade and oversize hook — same footprint class as the big-name wide-blade tapes, with the E-Pad adding a little on the side. If you run a compact 5m tape, you'll notice the difference; if you're used to a heavy-duty tape, you won't.
No — it's a flexible screen, not glass, so it can't crack. If it ever stops working — something sharp got to it, or it copped too much water — it's DIY-replaceable in minutes, and a spare screen is $10.
The E-Pad runs a CR1220 coin cell that lasts 6–12 months of daily use — a standard battery you can grab at any servo or supermarket, and swapping it takes a minute. The tape itself is just a tape; no battery needed to measure.
Yep. The E-Pad is pressure-based — no skin contact needed, unlike your phone. Write with whatever's in your hand.
30 days to change your mind — send it back unused and in perfect nick for a full refund. Manufacturing faults are covered for 12 months and we'll replace it. Drops off the scaffold are on you, fair's fair. Email admin@tradienotes.com.au and we'll sort it.
STOP ASKING "WHAT WAS THAT NUMBER?"
Measure it, write it on the tape, cut it right the first time. If it's not for you, send it back.
