Choosing a Tool

The standard objection to a digital tool is that it belongs in a catalogue rather than a mud puddle, and it deserves a real answer.

Sealing and coating are what separate site equipment from a gadget that works until the first wet day.

A common objection to digital tools is that they belong in a catalogue rather than on a site. Dropped in a mud puddle, fished out and wiped down, the display still reads and the tool still measures. Sealing and coating are the difference between an electronic tool that is site equipment and one that is a gadget.
