Calculated Industries 8515 ProjectCalc

My husband used to build custom built homes, and we have this same calculator, and our local lumber company owner/operator was figuring our personal supply list that we needed. My husband thought this would be a great gift for him, and told me to order it up for him. The order arrived as promised, but the battery was dead, i was disappointed, the seller refunded my full purchase amount right away and apologized for the incident. I would recommend this seller and would reorder without hesitation. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I must have a dozen calculators, so why buy another? This one manipulates fractions easily and converts several kinds of measures that I use often (board-feet, cubic yards, etc) and calculates cost with few keystrokes. It has a super-intuitive user interface, too, which helps a lot. It's worth every penny.

No pun intended!For me this is a must. I am not one to be trying to calculate the center of some random fraction or figure out how much tile I need for a room.Great stocking stuffer. He or she will be glad they have it in the toolbox even if only for those Sometimes moments.

Ive had this calculator for many years and recently bought another one so I can leave the old one at my office. Great purchase and well worth the money.

Product just as described, and fast shipping. Thanks!

The batteries were dead when I received this so I have no idea if this works or not. The screw to removed the battery cover is so small that almost no screw driver would fit it. The screw was threaded into soft plastic and it could easily strip just getting the cover off. The hinged cover is a major pain since you can't lock into the open position. I can't even turn the thing on and I recommend you look else for a feet/inches calc.

It would be 5 star if it also did mile and kilometer conversions. It is easy to read and a good carpenters pocket calculator.

This calculator is so much fun and so easy to use that sometimes I pick it up and start trying to think of little projects to measure. My favorite feature: 25 buttons instead of 125! The design is dead simple and elegant. Conversions between metric and English, distances and board-feet, wall space and gallons of paint. Auto-calculations resulting in linear, square, and cubic measurements. This is my favorite calculator of all time. And I love the little flip cover and smooth back, giving me plenty of room to take my Sharpie and scrawl my name on the back, thus thwarting friends and neighbors who might have sticky fingers.
