HI, Just got my new talking tape from LSS PRODUCTS today... Well it seem to be built a lot better then the other one I got it feels a little smaller and just more sturdier. The buttons are little different but easy to learn. Have not dropped it yet so can't say how it will hold up to that.

My Cobalt talking tape measure is going to go back to England I think. This weekend it was driving me crazy. It was actually giving consistently wrong measurements. Then it would start giving me the crazy measurements like 2792 inches. A battery change didn't seem to help it much. It also has a loose connection from a drop, so often when I am trying to take a measurement it will reset itself just by moving the case around. A hundred bucks for this is insane, but we don't have many options. TOM! TOM! TOM! What can we do? How much are encoder wheels these days? -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
