Nice work. I do know what it's like to work with limited vision. I'm not totally blind, but I do have to find creative ways to do things. I have the same talking tape measure. look for Dan Parker online. He is totally blind a machinist, and has a record of doing 212 miles an hour and a drag race.

My Girlfriend baught me that tape measure almost 20 years ago. It was $179. I wanted a spare, but they were gone for a while unless you wanted the one that speaks Spanish. I found them on another page for $125 and purchased another to keep at my Mother's house. They are far from durable though, but do come in handy.
