Zapp Brannigan: I have wanted one of these for years and just relied on Excell to make conversions for my job. Finally got one, and I love it. Now please explain why the default uses the sin, cos, tan function which is great for one task but the majority of users require the ability to convert measurements for either architecture, engineering, trade skills, contractors, etc. I see a far greater use for this type of calculator than the everyday calculator with sin, cos tan.

Amazon Customer: This calculator is a very handy device. It comes preprogrammed with many common projects to help estimate material. The only issue I’ve encountered thus far is the calculator is actually more fickle than I expected. Most times, I just want to calculate imperial measurements quickly but I found there were some unexpected steps. However, once one masters the instruction manual, it’s a very useful tool.

Geoffrey Lamberts: Super simple to use. Great functions.
Well built and nice cover too.
Returned it since I didn't need all the function for work that I thought I would

Nikki Francois: This works great for the tasks needed at my job. It’s sturdy, the right size, and is exactly what is described. Home Depot sells almost the exact same items for quite a bit more.

Kurt C. Decker: I bought this calculator for an estimating class that I was taking. We had to regularly look at plans, do dimension takeoffs and add them all up in order to quantify building components. This calculator excels at quickly adding up feet/inch measurements (including fractions of an inch), as well as converting between cubic feet, cubic yards, etc. Entering dimensions is as easy as pressing 5 <feet> 6 1 / 16 (to enter 5' 6-1/16"). You can do all the basic functions, multiplication, division, etc. When you multiply feet by inches, you can get the result in square inches, feet, or yards.
There are additional functions in the calculator that I haven't used very much. You can take a measurement and convert it to useful quantities, such as board feet, tons of gravel, gallons of paint, etc. You can even set a standard cost for the item so that you can then calculate a price. For instance, you can do a takeoff of a wall, find that it's 450 square feet, then convert that to gallons of paint, and then convert that to a price.
The calculator is nice because it's got a flip cover that's hard and will prevent the buttons from being pressed while it's in your backpack or...

John Bouchard: I use the calculator for all my projects. This is my second calculator, my previous one broke on a project. I like the fact that it is both solar and battery operated.
