- Caliper (take a measurement inside, outside or into an object, score / scratch measurements onto another part, etc...) with the functionality of the
- T-Square (align objects or marking tool at right or 45' angles with an edge, sometimes a level is included, even perhaps a scribe / center punch) with the functionality of a
- Slide Rule (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc...)?
The three objects are nearly identical already. And... why are there no bluetooth calipers starting under $200? Something is very wrong in the world. FIX IT! ,o)

bother when solar powered calculators are ubiquitous).Nevertheless I'm not the one to dismiss a cool idea from the start. You will have to put it to the test and see how much win is in it. Start with a 3D model to convey the idea, then build a working prototype out of aluminium and give it a spin. Make a video. See how people react just for the heck of it. If not for the benefit your idea provides it is a chance to expose people to new ideas and ways of thinking. No harm can come from that!
Are you sure? yes | no
