Amazon.com Review

If we could do this kind of math in our heads, we'd be working for NASA, not cutting wood. This little gem will add, subtract, multiply, and divide yards, feet, inches, fractions, decimals, meters, centimeters, and millimeters and make you look really, really smart. We threw some astronomical calculations at it and got our answers in the time it took to push a button. Figuring board feet, squares, and cubics is not a problem, and this calculator will do area and volume as well. Stairs--perhaps the most intimidating of all construction projects--become nothing but a quick calculation. We thought it was a nice touch that a battery was included, and the user's guide is great, even for someone who lacks a degree in rocket science. We know how you like to do all your figuring problems in pencil all over scrap wood, but give this a spin. It'll be the least expensive and smallest power tool in your arsenal (it fits in a shirt pocket), but one of your best investments. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

This is a great tool, made even greater with the Pro model
You can download from Calculated Industries a free full blown version of their PC Software version of Construction Master Pro Calculator. It works for 30 days without any restrictions. That is what got me hooked. Once I saw what you could do for calculating board feet, and lots of other calculations, I knew I had to have more than the trial version. With C Industries Construction Master Pro, you are currently receiving the software version (a 30 some dollar value in itself) for free with the purchase of the calculator. It is included in the box. Considering the Pro is only going for a few more dollars than the IV version, it makes it a no brainer to buy that model instead.
Since I bought the pro, I am going to go over and write a review on that one instead. It has all of the features of the IV and then some. It comes in a great looking case, and has a front cover that mounts on the back when not in use. It looks great, and is even greater for its usefulness. Hope this helps.

Saves you time (and some brain cramps, too!).
I have a looooong way to go to even be close to tapping the full capabilities of this little unit. I've only had it for a month or so, and I've used it for lots of things. The feet-inch-fractions feature is just the best. The magnetic case works pretty well. If you find yourself using your pencil for a lot of figuring when you're on the job, you might consider giving this a try.

THE "A" I NEVER GOT
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT MATH GENIUSES, THIS WILL MAKE YOU ONE. SPEED UP THE JOB, LOOK LIKE A SCHOLAR, IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS. THIS IS THE TOOL TO HAVE.

Stairs can be a scary thing
I have been building my own house now for the past 2 years and finally getting to the end. When I did my first set of stairs, I was petrified I would mess it up - is the angle right, will they feel right going up and then down, just how many risers do I need, anyway. There are plenty of rules about building stairs - the sum of 2 risers and 1 tread = 25 inches, and so on. With this hummer, put all that fancy stuff aside. Make the rise and run measurements, push the answer button, and start cutting. This is probably not a must-have item for most do-it-yourselfers, but if you have a big project and are doing your own design work, I would strongly recommend one. And, it fits in your pocket.

Rafter book no longer needed
Was doing a house and the roof span was more than what the blue book had available. Went out and bought "The Ultimate Calculator" and have not used the blue book since. The instruction book is very user friendly. I use the calculator every chance I get which sometimes is not enough. I am even thinking about getting a second one for my lead carpenter. In my opinion, even at twice the price, it is still very much worth the money. ... Read more

This is a must for every teacher!
This calculator makes generating report card grades a snap. It used to take me hours upon hours of calculator work, now I am done in one or two hours. You imput the letter (or number) grade for each assignment and hit the average button and the calculator give the letter grade and percent grade. You can change the grading scale, and weight certain assignments or tests differently. I got my Gradematic as a gift from my mom and I have used it for years. Many of my teacher friends borrow mine. They are amazed that they can complete their grades in one or two prep periods. This is truly one teacher tool that is worth the money. ... Read more

You know the old adage, measure twice, cut once? Each time you measure with the Pocket Dimension Master, you're already measuring twice. There's a built-in verification that automatically rechecks each measurement you take. Aim, press the button, and you get an instant digital readout that you know is right every time. It's light, snazzy and works at the speed of sound. We think it would be perfect for interior designers calculating paint or wallcovering amounts, doing away with awkward metal tapes that can snap back at you any second. It would also be ideal for remodelers, home do-it-yourselfers and real estate agents who have to measure rooms and square footage. We like that it's powered by a lithium battery, meaning long battery life and about 70,000 measurements before battery replacement is necessary.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more
