As per subject. I want one for the workshop with big buttons and a large
display so i can see it without diving for my specs (mildly longsighted)
Ideally I'd operate this in a ploy back to keep out oil and swarf.

Must be able to to do squares/roots and basic trig functions.

I can find lots of 4 function calculators but no scientific ones.

What do you guys us in the workshop??

TIA

Bob

Texas Instruments or HP had the best ranges a few years back, but I don't think
they make them these days.

Plenty around, but the large button/scale might be a problem.

Look out for a make called TEXET, I have one I use which has a reasonable
screen and buttons.

Forgot to mention that you have a copy of ZEUS handy to use with the
calculator.
