Marmotjr Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Was in Home Depot today picking up some odds and ends, and I just happened to be browsing the hardware section when I noticed they had a Fractional Calculator marked way down. It is normally $20, they had it marked for $3. I figured I couldn't lose. Playing with it, it will take a little getting used to the inputs, but it seems to work just fine. It's got a whole bunch of other conversions, including building materials, and a real Pi button. Home Project Calc by Calculated Industries. The website has them marked at $15, so I don't know whats up, but the sticker on the shelf said $3, and that's what they charged me. If you're in a store, see if they have any.

wdwerker Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have been using "Calc Pro HD " app daily for several years. It's by Panoramic software. Only cost a few bucks . Every kind of conversion I've ever wanted and many different math calculators too. Used to carry a Palm V and used it for conversions and as a calculator. App works on my phone and IPad too.

Southwood Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Great calculators for sure. I have 2 of the construction masters, plus the app for my phone. They also have one for the electrical trades. Great as well, have that app too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing your age Steve! I carried a Pilot before the took on the 'Palm' moniker. Awesome tool for its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmotjr Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Luddite, more of a technophile to be honest, but I'm not happy with the apps on my phone for this use. They're never quick enough, nor user friendly enough. Maybe it's just cause I refuse to buy an app for a few bucks, but yet I'll drop $700 on a new phone, or even $3 for a piece of equipment that only does one thing, but most of the calculators out there never worked for me. And yeah, I used to run around with a Palm III (I believe) in my pocket. fun little things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 My only gripe with the app is the time it takes to load so I leave it open most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
