Really? I love not having the sizing box to further bog down the inspection station. More difficult (and sllooow) to handle the box + scale flow than just the scale. Re-checking is also a lot easier. I kept my tape measure as a ref as well (ok, so I did that before). The individual measuring action might not be better for inspectors, but I'd say the process is easier.
Did people actually do the "walk all the way around" thing? I thought that was a original intent, but then we were told (both as an inspector and as a mentor), that we'd just measure each side and add. The walk around's more accurate though.
