Hi, where do you get these products? I have the talking tape measure and
don't trust it. It sounds like I should have the click rule and the roto

Matt, I usually don't turn the nut while on the wood unless there is
room. But, then I usually work with small enough pieces that if I
need room for turning, I suspend the rotomatic over the edge of a
bench or elevate the wood a bit. I like mine very much. You can buy

Hi All
I must say I don't agree with the majority who think that the cobolt tape
measure is poor quality. I have had mine for many years and have used it in my
workshop quite frequently. Admitidally if you keep dropping the thing, then

at least mine does. It will say something like 2,123 inches, or minus 400
Yeah, a big thing is the battery terminals. They are very touchy and lose
connection a lot. Also, I had a brand new one sitting in the box I was waiting
