I've done quite a bit of woodworking using only my clickruler.
My question today is what other adaptive tools have been useful to you such as
talking measuring tapes, audible levels, metal blocks of certain thicknesses,
etc. What is useful, where did you get the tool, etc.
Thanks.

David,
You've pretty much said it, click is faster but not as accurate,
roto is a bit slower but can give you 1/64Th accuracy.
The rotomatic base ruler is only 6 inches long whereas the click
is 12 inches case and measuring bar combined.
I have and use both and so should you all if you can affor

David,
Looks like you have probably gotten all the answers to your question but
I'll just restate that I use a rotoRule that I got from the NFB Materials
Center or whatever it's called. I got a set of measuring blocks and angle
blocks from Lee Valley. A talking tape measure from Cobolt. A sl

With the rotomatic, I spin the nut to the nearest half inch, which are
marked, and then count spins from there. The nut that you spin is
rectangular and it has a notch in one corner so it is pretty easy to keep
track of the count.

Is the resolution on the roto-rule 1/16? This would make it
the same as the click rule.

Larry,
Since the nut on the RotoRule is rectangular, it is easy to count quarter
turns of the nut. One full revolution of the nut is 1/16 of an inch, so

It's not the same as the click rule, it seems you can get up
