What It Does
The Scale Master Classic digital plan measure helps you:
- Dramatically Cut Take-Off Time
- Speed Estimates
- Improve Profit
- Reduce Errors
- Improve Crew Productivity

At the estimating table, or out in the field, the Scale Master Classic helps you estimate like a pro! Unlike "old fashioned" scalers or rulers, it's a uniquely digital and multi-functional device yet highly accurately, portable, and easy-to-use. An "all-in-one" take-off tool with all the architectural, engineering, map & metric blueprint scales built in! Plus, a custom set scale ability for working with plans that are out-of-scale & other useful calculator functions. Features that let you perform superior take-offs from any blueprint plan anytime, anywhere!

User Accuracy
Based on how accurate you roll (or start and stop). Error factor approx. 2-4%. Highly accurate for estimating.

A Total of 72 Built-In Scales
With 39 imperial (feet-inch) and 33 metric, there's a scale for almost any plan.

Small, Lightweight and Totally Portable (Fits in Your Pocket)
Even bring it with you to the field!

Perform Instant Linear, Rectangular Area & Volume Take-Offs
Use it like a pen--just roll & measure! Align the white line on the red wheel to the starting point, and roll!

Rolls Distances in Either Direction
Accepts dimensions as fast as you can accurately roll them in either direction and with either hand. Measures regular & irregular linear distances, or odd-shapes.

Easy-to-Read Display
Reads your measurement in feet / inches or metric.

Multiple Dimensional Units for Maximum Versatility
Select your favorite measurement units: decimal feet, feet-inches, decimal inches, yards, millimeters, meters, kilometers including square and cubic formats of each.

Convert Between Scales & Dimensions
If dealing with more than one scale or dimension.

Custom Scale
Six (6) user-set custom scales. Perfect for scaling faxed or out-of-scale plans. Calibrates to any plan and then stores that scale for future use.

Calculate Rectangular Areas/Volumes (LxWxH)
Just roll & enter length of room, then width & instantly calculate square footage.

Subtract & Counter
Lets you subtract if you roll too far. And lets you count items (e.g., studs, outlets, etc.) & accumulate in memory.

Durable and Portable for Field or Office Use

Testimonials
We do quite a bit of underground work & the Scale Master cuts the time significantly to figure the different sizes of conduit, etc. Total improvement over other instruments. I would recommend it highly to anyone.

It is a great time saver & convenient in doing blueprint take-offs. Indispensible tool!

I can actually take-off work faster, because I don't have to convert dimensions--less errors. Slickest tool since the computer. I have "sold" at least a dozen other estimators on it. Too bad I don't get a commission!

Five times better than anything I've ever used! I use it exclusively whenever I'm doing my estimating.

Superior (to traditional plan measures / curvimeters)! It is the best scale tool that I have ever used.
