One thing I have found it to be indespensible for, it telling me the
sizes of my drill bits. Can anyone really read the writing on the 1/8,
5/32, or any other of those damn things? And as the eyes get weaker, I
don't have a chance. (I still blame it on the lighting though if
anyone is around.)

Umm that is what a drill index is for. Once the bit slips in the chuck "NO
ONE" can read the size on the bit. LOL

I almost exclusively use mine to measure the thickness of the wood coming
out of my planer.
