Starrett Digitape

You'll be in a better position to tell us once you've changed the battery.

Why don't you call them and ask. 978-249-3551

Dave:

I've run through two of these. The current one sits on the board (when I remember). I don't remember when the battery died. I hardly ever felt the DRO was worthwhile. Both of mine were fairly accurate, certainly enough for tape measure use.

I do like it.

My favorite 1/2" rule is my Lufkin, with green? tape. Then the Starrett.

I was told once that Starrett made the tapes for Craftsman. That came up when I couldn't tell any difference between the two - anywhere, with the exception of the case.

You do realize that the display reading is for inside measurements, I presume?

He was using it inside. :-)

I think that's the model I take when I go lumber shopping. "No way that's 10 board feet! This board's only 5 inches wide and 10 feet long!"

don't they make a tape suitable for outdoor use?
