A mechanical tape is whatever it was the day you bought it, and that is the end of the story. Because response and accuracy on the T1 Tomahawk are partly software, an update improves a tool already in your bag: the older build dashes while a reading settles, the newer one lands on a number sooner. Worth checking you are current before blaming the tool.

Side by side, the older firmware shows dashes while the reading settles; the newer build lands on a number sooner. Accuracy and response are partly software, which means a tool you already own can improve without you buying anything, provided you actually run the update.
