Hi Mike

Oh dear! I would honestly say this is the exception rather than the norm for
Caretec as I have always liked the quality of their products.

Jackie,

I bought one of these; as they are supposed to be derived from a Bosche
digital tape measure.... however it went haywire on the first measurement
and had to be returned!!!

It should be returned soon, but it is very frustrating to have to do without
something like that while it is fixed etc and if it is not measuring
accurately, resulting the loss of materials.

Kindest,

Mike
