    Yup, I'll admit it. Don't need help with square feet or cubic volume, paint coverage, roof pitch, grade... board feet though, what a PITA!

    I’ve been using their app on my phone for years. Handy. Though they recently made some changes to the payment model.

    Purchased before 'apps' were widespread, sure the payment schedule was completed long ago. Preference remains to possess a tangible device; that doesn't collect spam calls to interrupt calculations. That's become the best feature of all!

    Trig functions are handy but any scientific calculator you have in the shop will do it. But having thread functions, (i.e., 3-wire sizes), bolt circle x, y, coordinates, as well as trig all in one place is quite nice.

    Anyone know a chiropractor, trapeze artist, contortionist, cell phone user?
