I have used this device in my shop for several years and if you only take one measurement at a time you would never get a job in my shop. The advantage that I have found is that I can go around a house and measure every window and all of the base board including shelves etc. then go to my chop saw station and cut everything up without walking back and forth, wasting time and energy. You might think it looks bulky, but surprisingly it doesn't get in the way at all, and when I put it on the scale it only weighed 2oz. And by the way it has water resistant paper if you happen to be framing outside. Hey Lew it is a joke, if you have judged it without first trying it out, but the real joke is on you.

Is it? I guess if you are flying in a plane (like the picture above) and you HAVE to write something down while in mid-flight, it may prove useful. I am not a pilot, so I really can't speak to that use. However, what woodworker in their right mind would strap this bulky thing to their wrist and then use major power tools (planers, joiners, table saws, etc). Even when I do renovation, I just write measurements on tape measure or the board I need to cut. This looks like some kind of joke. Is it?

This device seems bulky and clumsy. Working as a mechanic, I wear nitrile gloves constantly and they make great note pads. This device seems bulky and clumsy.
