Great Construction Calculator
»
Great construction calculator. This was a hard to find item that only Amazon had in stock. I even checked Texas' largest surveying supplier in San Antonio, and they didn't have it in stock.
I love the calculator and use it every day as a Project Manager of a commercial construction project.

this is a must!

This tool is a must if you are in the construction industry and use a calculator. In my company we must have at least 2 dozen combined between desktop and pocket version.

Great, with one caveat
»
The construction master is a great product, hands down. The only problem with this "desktop" version is that the keypad is a little funky.
If they raised the keys just a little higher and made them easier to press, it would be fantastic. Unfortunately, you have to press kind of hard to get the buttons to respond. When you're trying to do lots of fast calculations, it gets frustrating, because you have to be very deliberate about each and every keystroke.
Otherwise, great product, great time saver.

Construction Master Desk Top is the Best!
»
I now have 2 of these calculators, plus two hand held models. As a construction superintendent for a major contractor in Wisconsin, I would be absolutely lost without them! As usual Amazon carries what we need, and delivers when we need it.

Poweful tool for the scene shop
»
Building scenery for the theater we are always under a time & acuracy crunch. The Construction master pro DT helps us to handle both foot and Inch manipulations and construction detailing. The rise & run & diagonal calculations are a timesaver when we are dealing with raked platforming or out of true flats. The compound miter key has already saved me hours of fussing on oddball scenic units. The ability to store risers heights in the stair calculations allows us to easily determine stair details by using our stock, but not building code compliant stairs. The calculators flexibility is one of its greatest assetts and one of its great drawbacks as well. I wish that there was a help system in the unit remind the user of how to use some of the more arcane controls. The included instruction book is great, but a book is not the fastest way when you need to use a function now that you last used months ago.
