Pros
This is a small utility that easily converts units of different values through a wide range of measurements: acceleration, amt of substance, angle, area, concentration, density, distance, energy, flow, force, light, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, torque, volume, & volume-dry. I have installed this on my newest computers for over a decade and recommend this to others. My use is primarily personal, and it has been a invaluable and dependable way to convert many units of metric measurement to standard usage in the US, or to understand some measurements I'm not familiar with.
Cons
There is not any documentation with this. For common tasks it is easy to figure out, but I do occasionally come across times I wish there were an access to help, but hey, its free!
Summary
I keep a shortcut on my taskbar and it is usually open. The program file is 548 kb and running, it is using 1284 k of memory--a tiny, handy and very small app!
First rate product.
