I bought this calculator to convert non-readable fraction numbers to practical ones. That works fine.
One star minus because using it as a regular simple calculator is not convenient.

I’m not a professional in the trades; however, this is a great tool for both woodworking and carpentry projects. I’ve had an older model that I bought around 15 years ago. This one is very similar. Quality appears to be of high quality. This is an excellent value, if you need this kind of capability. Highly recommend.

I love my inch-foot calculator. I am a designer in an architectural office and use mine all the time. Easy to add inches plus feet and also easy to convert back and forth.

I build model ships from scratch and I often need to convert full-size dimensions to model-size dimensions and vice versa. I have a special purpose scaling calculator that I bought years ago for this purpose but I wanted a backup just in case it ever dies on me because that one is no longer made. It’s very easy to enter feet and inches and is done exactly the way I do it on my scaling calculator.
Offset tables on plans are typically shown in feet.inches. eight-inches. So a figure of 4.6.5 means 4 feet, 6 inches, and 5/8 inches. To enter that on the calculator, just enter 4 then Feet then 6 then Inch then 5 slash (/) 8. If you’re working at a scale of 3/8″=1′, simply divide by 32 and you’ve got your scale measurement – 1-45/64″. Piece of cake. The calculator lets you set the fractional resolution to 1/2″, 1/4″, 1/8″,1/16″, 1/32″, and 1/64″ (Default setting when you get the calculator is 1/16″) The resolution remains where you set it even after powering off the calculator but it’s very easy to change if you need a different resolution. Instructions are on page 6 of the booklet. There is a pocket in the case for storage of the instruction booklet.
My one minor complaint is that it will not convert inches to millimeters or centimeters. Other calculators made by this company will do that, but they are more expensive. Of course, you can always multiply the metric conversion by 100 to get cm or by 1000 to get mm. For example, if you convert 1 foot 3 inches to meters, you’ll get .381 meters. That’s 38.1 cm or 381 mm. And, of course, divide your metric measurement to get cm or mm then convert to inches. Not that difficult – just a bit less convenient. But for the price, this can’t be beat for modelers needing to do scale conversions!
The calculator just arrived today, so I can’t speak to its longevity.

This calculator is great for basic unit conversion for building and contracting. I bought this product from Fastmedia ship USA and the updates on the delivery was not correct. I reached out to the seller and they were fairly responsive and detailed and helped with my enquiries. Overall it has been a positive experience with Fastmedia ship USA.
