Dollar Calculators - base 8 brand

This is a pretty nice calculator, especially for its one dollar cost. It compares favorably with calculators costing more - I think it would be a good value at two dollars.

While it has rubber keys, they are not objectionable. The cover that folds over the front of the calculator is a nice feature, and would make this a good calculator to keep in the glove box of a car.

About the only thing I don't like about this calculator is the aspect ratio of the digits.

The exterior case surfaces were smooth and neat. The calculator was held together with stainless steel (non-magnetic) screws.
