The simple truth is that some of us were built were math, and some of us weren’t. If calculating how many gallons of paint you’ll need makes you want to hire the job out, this little calculator will change your mind. All you have to do is measure and tell it what you want to know. It’s programmed to figure out quantity needed for all kinds of materials: bricks and blocks, wallboard, gravel, lumber, paint, roof shingles, studs, tile and wallpaper. You tell it specifically what grout width you want, or how far apart your fence posts will be, and it work everything out. It even works in reverse, figuring out mind-sputtering things like, how much wall will 7 gallons of this paint cover? It handles fractions to the 1/64th inch without faltering, and It’s slim, light, and less than 3-by-5-inches, so it fits neatly in your pocket. It’s powered by long-life lithium batteries, and the auto-shutoff feature gives you even more battery life. And of course, it works like a regular calculator, too, so you can add up how much you saved by not hiring out that paint job.<I>--Kris Jensen-Van Heste</I>
