I think they call it the Rotomatic. I haven't used one before, just heard
about them.

Do you know the name of that other measuring device besides a click ruler?
I think it is somewhat similar to a click ruler but I don't know what it is.

Now, if they would create a talking click rule? hahah,
I am considering buying a second click rule.
So many things I have to center.
I've been clampping the click rule to my pieces, and using it to center, and
sometimes I have to push the piece back and forth until I am satisfied that
it is as close to center as possible.
Train car rooves and so on.

I think the reason they don't do anything to improve the talking tape
measure is because they have no competition, so they just keep selling a low
quality product.

Tell me about it! I have gone through at least 8 or 9 of these things. I
can't understand why they can't make them a little more durable.
