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.

This is the latest incarnation of a tool I've been using for a few years now. The more I use it, the more dependent I become. Provides quick, accurate answers to almost all shop problems & equations. The memory function is a little confusing at first, but practice makes perfect. Excellent tool, well worth the money. There's a pocket sized version available also, called the "Ultra Measure Master", also very handy.

I bought this desktop model for the home, after buying and using the Construction Master Pro Trig hand held calculator. The desktop model makes a great companion to the Pro Trig, which I use in the field for pipe fitting and rigging applications. Both of these products were some of the best purchases I have made, as they are very versatile and offer the most funtions that I use on a day to day basis. Before now, I have either been forced to use more than one calculating device, or keep a list of the frequently used mathmatical formulas on hand to complete my work. Now I am able to work with more speed and accuracy. The set up features are an asset, as I am able to program most of the functions to meet my specific needs. Again great product. It offers more bang for the buck than any other calculating device I have tried. I am a true believer in Calculated Industry products.

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.

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.

I have a handheld calculated industries calculator that I use for engineering calculations. This desk unit has all the same features, allowing me to enter dimensions in feet, inches, meters, etc. Nice large display and convenient keyboard.

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.

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.

This Calculator was a Replacement for my son-in-law. It was a Request. He is a Contractor, and has been using the Construction Master Pro for years. It works Great for Him and is his Calculator of Choice.

I have several calculators from this company and they have always worked perfectly. I purchased the desktop version and while it works well, it is missing a dedicated mm button for conversion which is the primary reason I bought it. Display is large and very readable.
