Customer Reviews:

Lost without it [Posted on 2005-05-02]
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.

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.

Poweful tool for the scene shop [Posted on 2006-03-08]
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.

Construction Master Desk Top is the Best! [Posted on 2007-03-22]
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.

Great, with one caveat [Posted on 2007-11-15]
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.
