A contractor friend of mine is all excited about getting his Construction Master Pro calculator. His usual work is decks/stairs, sheds, framing, pool decks, etc...don't really understand his excitement as he's been doing this work his whole life...

All I've ever used is my tape, rule, squares, etc, and my trig function calculator.

My typical response is "if I haven't needed it by now, I don't need it"...but it got me thinking...

Do any of you use anything like the CM Pro for your outside work...?

I remember those...

...still got my Cooke's Radio Slide Rule w/scabbard...LOL

The advantage to slide rules, you have to understand the problem to be solved and think. Calculators, not so much.
