Working in the motor trade, there are many tools that you need, a telephone, a computer and a good calculator! Mostly I put it down to my age, but a lot of the calculators on the market call for the user to have a PHD in physics!
I for one when using a calculator look for ease of use. I'm not the type of guy who needs a computer to tell me what the time is in New York or the exchange rate in Zambia! The point I am trying to make is that, for the job I do (Parts Manager at a franchised car dealership); I need little more than a calculator to add, subtract, divide and multiply.
The Casio MS-8V does the job rather well, and that's good enough for me. I don't want to belittle my job as it can get a bit stressful at times, so the ease of use of the calculator makes MY job easier.
The Design ----------------
The casing is of a robust design, black in colour and generally gives a sturdy strong appearance; the look of a calculator gives the impression that it can take some stick. It hasn't got wings attached but sometimes calculators do need them! especially if the figures don't add up.
The buttons are nice and large. I have fairly large fingers, so guys like me appreciate just pressing one button at a time; I think it adds to the ease of use as well.
Power --------
This particular calculator is solar powered. In case you needed to know the battery inside the case is a solar cell battery 1.5 volt. Should you ever need to replace it (I doubt it) the battery number is LR54X1.
Features ------------
The display has enough room for 8 digits. . Percentage Key. . Mark up % key. . Function command signs. . Sign change key. . It has a 4 key memory, which allows you to save 4 figures in the memory to recall. . 3 digit comma marker display. . The "plus" or "add" key is double the size of the other keys. . Auto power off.
Dimensions -----------------
Height 31mm, Width 103mm, and length 137mm.
The Price -------------
I purchased it from Staple office stores for 4.97, which I think is outstanding value for the quality and usage ability of this calculator. I would highly recommend it for normal work or home use.
