Hi,

Yes, I tried resetting it and cleaning the tape etc.

A Braille one is not accurate enough. I am building a raised decking platform, 
about 22 by 33 feet, on which a log cabin style house shall be placed upon.

For use with a compound chop saw, a Braille tape would not be all that accurate.

Thanks for suggestion though.

Regards,

Mike

  Mike,

  Why don't you go for the Braille tape measures? They are far better and same 
quality as a regular one and even look just like a regular tape measure except 
that it has dots on it.

  I whole heartedly agree with Andy about blind-specific  items being too ugly 
and of inferior quality as most of the mainstream stuff.  On top of that, we 
pay a higher price for all that.  I too buy as much mainstream equipment as 
possible, i'll just make sure that it is perfectly usable for me.  However for 
specific things like a tape measure for instance, I got the Braille one.

  Take care,

  Lyn & Twinny
