Is this a useful tool?

Very. Kids took to it right away running around turning things on and off to see what happened. Probably the best tool to save money I have ever purchased.

Does this unit measure watt usage. I'm on solar and want to see ceiling fan usage independently as will as everything on at one time. Not concerned about total KWH and cost. Too, do I see where the unit clips on inline feed and then there is a remote that I can carry around without a computer. If so, this is what I'm looking for.

Yes it is. I have it on my desk and I can see my power consumption at any given time. It's wireless and the receiver runs on batteries so you can carry it with you if you're exploring where your usage is going. It's got a lot of features that I don't use, such as multiple tariff rates. I bought it because I want to be able to see the total load on my electrical system at any given time. It does that nicely and refreshes about every 15 seconds with current info.

I find it quite useful for my purposes: (1) to monitor my monthly energy use and compare it to the useage reported on my billing, and (2) to monitor power consumption when I'm on my backup generator. For this purpose, I purchased two additional pickup sensors and mounted them in my generator, so all I have to do is move the monitor from the house panel to the generator.

It is a useful tool. However, more neighborhoods are getting upgraded meters that can provide this information. Check with your utility. Wandering round the house with the display, switching things on and off gives you a great sense of what is consuming power and whether you can or want to do anything about it. I was surprised, for example, just how much power was still used by my subwoofer when the stereo was off.

It works for measuring kilowatts used and has a price conversion... been over 7 months and still works (use it for measuring electricity in garage apartment)

If there was I never used it (i.e.-I don't recall one). It is a great tool---have used mine dozens and dozens of times--and never had need to refer to a manual or C.D. as it is pretty simplistic to use. And it keeps on keeping on. Chuck B. Mahomet, Il.

Your question indicates total ignorance as to what this tool is. Therefore, DO NOT USE IT !!!

If you need to make exact, repeatable cuts enmasse, I do not think this is the tool. To do that you will spend hundreds of dollars. This is a budget friendly tool, designed for occasional use. ( In my opinion )

No idea. I looked at it as a cost effective solution to a short term need, not a tool I would use on a building site under heavy use.

No. It's a good tool, but for honing. It's easy to use regularly so worth having to keep an edge true. Every few months I need to bring out sharpening stones to put a new edge on my knives.

Not sure if its powerful enough...but to answer your question No. Lmk if it does the job

I am guessing that it did not have a user guide. suggest you review the 80 comments on the amazon website and you will likely learn as much. It is a simple tool. I notice Amazon has carried it since 2004.

I really don't know. The person I gave this to.....just loves it. He has bought many of the different attachments for it as well. He says it's an all purpose tool.

Sorry. I never checked. However, based on the battery power, I doubt it. I am a "lady" and have found multiple uses for this tool; but I never intended on any heavy-duty use.

It's not a great tool, I'd sell it. I'm sorry i even bought the product, it didn't do anything it's packaging said it would do.

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

I haven't used it for that chore. However if you get the correct accessory, I would have to say yes without a doubt. This is a very nice tool. I priced several different manufacturers. I think this is the best bang for the buk.

No, not really. You can use it to scroll and zoom in on some document formats, but the controls are clunky. It is a great tool for 2D and 3D CAD though.

This is a good one to use, but may require a little research on specifics of function. I have enjoyed using mine. It is actually not intended for beginners, but it is a nice device.

I'm not sure this is the right tool for the job. The camera is very small. Mine is used in my car to record traffic. Some are used in sports to record the ride. For your purpose, a traditional hand-held camera would probably work better.

Yes. I don't think this will be the right tool. It only cuts in circles and is hard to cut where it breaks evenly.
