I've seen the rotomatic, but never used one. Can anyone offer a comparison of the rotomatic and the clickruler? Clickrules seem must faster, but can only give you 1/16" accuracy.

This may be overobvious, but a high quality square, with tactile (the good ones for sighties have fingernail notches) is a necessity, 4ft for roofing or just a 1 ft. You can always use your adapted ruler to make the measurement, but (embarrassed) when I started using a square, things started coming out nicer.
