They just make life so much easier
Like boss(ch). 😀
They are handy. I’ve got one and use it all the time. I’m just afraid now I’m getting lazy and will forget how to read a real tape!

Yup it’s sad to see where our youth are going I’m trying my best to keep my kids off all these electronics that u see kids with nowadays don’t get me wrong my kids get to play ps4 and get on the iPad here and there but no electronics mon-thurs on those days I have them play outside on there bikes and scooters or play with there toys I love to see my kids get dirty it really doesn’t bother to see them being kids like I was luckily we’ve been blessed with some awesome children who don’t cry about being on a phone or tablet they live to be outside chasing each other while my cousins kids are stuck crying for there tablet just sitting there and those dang things! Sorry crew had to get that out of my system 😉
You Canadians are much harder in the 4th grade with your math apparently[emoji6] . Derivatives and integrals in first grade the differential equations in second grade!comp56 wrote:

I lost count of the young guys that came to work in our shop for summer holidays and counted tell you how many 16’s they were in an inch
The worst is when someone tries to use metric around here. I get that the US is behind but don’t want to remember two sets of numbers for everything.
As far as the laser measures, I really don’t know how I got by without one before. No need to avoid measuring out large areas or estimating their dimensions.
