Your tape measure is engineered so you can read both the measurement on the tape and digital readout right-side up. With just a little practice, you'll know by touch which buttons to push as you measure for your projects and record notes to yourself. It can record two 5-second messages, so you can take the device with you when you go to get your lumber, purchase your curtain rods, etc.
And remember, your order helps support Goodwill in helping people achieve their full potential through the dignity and power of work.
