I like the elimination of duplicates when SAE/Metric overlap.  Nice case, great tools.  Would buy again.  You won't regret this purchase.

This is a great tool for gauging the size of things ordered online with descriptions in metric.  I bought it to have a better idea of jewelry size and it is very helpful!!!  It's made of metal with a thin cork backing and has measurements in cm, mm and inches from a full to 16/16ths.  It's a foot long and is definitely easy to read!!

My students enjoy matching upper and lower cases letters. A great tool to use at home and in the classroom to help children learn to identify Alphabet.

This handy device is a great adjunct to my retractable, metal tape measure. There are many times when it simply isn't convenient to use a tape measure, such as when I'm the only one around and need to measure a distance of more than 5-6 feet.

This device is light and easy to carry, fitting easily into my palm. It has a nice pouch to store it in with a Velcro strip if you want to attach it to a belt. It requires four AAA batteries, and it comes with some included. I like, though, that it will take rechargeable ones, which I already had on hand along with a charger.

If you like a manual you can store on your computer, you can find one for this device online.

Wonderful!  Print out associated real measures.  For instance, one "drop" is 1/64th teaspoon.  Wish they included quantatative measurements.  With the cross-reference, I'm able to precisely measure bulk vitamins into the blender.  Metal is sturdy enough.

This is one of the entries in the Sage series, "Quantitative Applications oin the Social Sciences." The subject of this slim volume (just 82 pages long)? Analyzing nominal data. Nominal data are at the lowest end of the level of measurement. These are categorical variables, where the different categories have no numerical relationship to one another (e.g., religion, major in college, etc.). Only specific kinds of statistical techniques are appropriate for such variables. This book does a serviceable job discussing the essence of nominal data, measures of association (relationship between two variables)--including the odds ratio, the contingency coefficient, lambda, etc., and multivariate techniques (e.g., log linear models).

Not the easiest reading book, but a resource for those willing to wade through the text.(

One of the many issues of getting older is that its harder to see small writing and markings. This solves that problem perfectly, plus makes it much easier to measure items even if you have the eyes of a 20 year old.

Its basically a tape measure that has an LCD readout. You use it just like a regular tape measure but instead of having to squint to read the markings on the tape, you get a nice, clear digital readout of the measurement. Simple, easy, and its a breeze to use.

Well, its a breeze after some trial and error. The manual is pretty much useless, but since there are only a few buttons, I found that just playing around with it for a bit was enough to learn how to use it. It can be set to read measurements as inside or outside (e.g., either read from the tip or from the heel of the tape measure case). The units can be set as:

>> inches (with fractional inch display);
>> feet and inches (with fractional inch display)
>> inches (with decimal inch display)
>> centimeters

It runs on a single CR2032 battery (which is included). The battery is very easy to get to via a tray that slides into the body of the unit. It will auto shut off after a few minutes of non-use to preserve battery life.

The display is very clear provided you're in good lighting. It does not have a back light feature, so, as with any LCD, itd hard to read in dim light. But, if the light is good enough to read the markings on the ruler, its good enough to read the digital display. The max distance is 16 feet, and it has a memory feature that can store 8 readings.

The overall build quality seems pretty good. The case is covered with a rubbery coating that allows for a good grip. The tape itself is a bit harder to pull out than a conventional tape measure, but thats to be expected since this is reading the tape. It has a one button auto-retract feature.

Accuracy seems spot on. I tested it against a steel ruler and some items that I know are of a specific length, and the measurement was exact using this digital tape measure.

This is a very handy tool to have. The only issue is that, unlike a conventional tape measure, this won't stand up to being tossed around, getting wet, etc. Its electronic, and has to be treated as you would treat any other piece of electronic gear. Having it doesnt make getting older any fun, but at least I don't have to hunt for the right glasses whenever I need to use a tape measure. Highly recommend.

Law students I highly recommend you get this for your casebook readings. Each of these is written to the casebooks and whichever one you use must be specified when ordering because not all casebooks are the same.  This has been immensely helpful to me when I am pressed for time. I also compare it to what I have and the text.  I recommend it to anyone with a busy schedule.

Not a perfect fit, but is very useful and useable. I'd give it a 4.5-Star rating based on fit, but I'll round up since i cant.

I really enjoy using this comprehensive reference book. Each case example is laid out in a methodical manner.  The examples are beautifully illustrated.

Ive found this QB16 manual to be very helpful. Id used QB in the past but my current employer has a more recent version. So some aspects of recording transactions are handled a bit differently. This book allows me to obtain explanations on a case by case basis. My only complaint is that the thinner paper and smaller font is not ideal for me since I am farsighted. But that is not a huge issue since with reading glasses I can get the answers I need.

Like Rookledge's Classic International Type finder, these volumes offer the user a way to match samples of all of the upper and lower case letters/glyphs in quite a collection of typefaces, in this case script typefaces.  From formal to casual with one or two oddities, this pretty much covers the gamut.  Doing the type style groups allows the buyer to pick and choose which area of typefaces they need or want help with.  For script typefaces in particular, the showing of the letters at smaller sizes, though still more than big  enough to comfortably view, helps to give potential customers or users and idea  of how readable the lettering would be at a typical size for use; i.e. wedding, anniversary, or party invitations.  My only wishes, and probably those of other designers too, is  that these books were and on going process, with appendages for newer typefaces, and that they were three hole punched so that they could go into a binder or display rack.

While they, the authors, state that they show the complete font, that's not exactly true.
They show the standard uppercase/majiscules, and lowercase/miniscules, as well as 0-9, the ampersand "&", and the Dollar sign "$".  No ligatures, alternate letters, etc.,  While this is still more than adequate for most people or jobs, it can leave people searching for a particular glyph/character they've seen in a sample that isn't shown, even though the font they are looking for may actually be shown or listed.  This is particularly true with the newer font technology, where there could be dozens or even hundreds of alternate letters, ligatures, catchwords, and glyphs that fall outside of the standard uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, &, or $.
Still, this is definitely worth the small investment.

A convenient tape measure to keep with you at all times

I find ProjectCalc Plus to be one of the handiest tools in my shop.  I generaly have no problem dealing with fractions, 1/8" + 3/16", but ProjectCalc sure makes it easier and more accurate.  Board feet calculations are greatly simplified as well.  There are lots of capabilities I have not gotton to yet but look forward to many years of constant usage.

Micrometer seating die is outstanding.  A real time saver when testing different bullets and seating depths.  It's very accurate and repeatable.

Case is solid and well constructed. This tape measure has a locking feature that is quite useful when trying to make measurements when you don't have some one to assist. Quality product highly recommended.
