It is an odd tool that is too bulky and some of the features are just not ergonomically thought out. Here are some photos of one that I have posted on here before.

I've seen it in stores all the time, just doesn't look like something I'd use TBH.

well this tool is not on my good list  :rant:

see i got one and have used it little but find the lid does not really like to stay down and the tap measure is cheap.

then i was at the store and they had a few sitting out for real cheap and ya same issues except way worse, the tapes where all bare with no scale and the lids where NOT staying down.

I dont think this tool has a long lasting life and am less impressed the longer i have it

Yes, a brick has better ergonomics.

This item hasn't been available locally for awhile, since Cdn Tire cleared them out.  Home Depot may have had it too, as it came up in a search, but none in stock anywhere. It looks like it wasn't a big success, but I read on their website that there's an updated version coming out in April.

I got my hands on one of these today, and I don't really understand why they're discontinued everywhere.  I wouldn't buy one because I have all the tools it replaces.   Otherwise, I've seen a lot worse products, stay popular for a lot longer.  It looks to me like reasonable quality throughout, no obvious flaws that I could see.  There must be more issues behind the scenes that I don't know about.
