These days professional Craftsmen, Tradesmen, and DIYers around the country count on General to help them work smarter, faster, and better. ToolSmart™ is a great example. With one easy-to-use app — integrated with four new tools — the ToolSmart™ product line is about to eliminate millions of headaches. Here’s a closer look at our introductory line:

ToolSmart™ is the first full line of measuring and inspection tools that connect wirelessly to a smartphone app, allowing you to:

· Work Smarter – All ToolSmart™ tools connect seamlessly with the ToolSmart™ app.
· Measure Better – With ToolSmart™, there is no more jotting down your numbers on little scraps of paper or even the thing you are measuring. Keep track of all your measurements in one organized location right in the palm of your hand.
· Be More Productive – With “My Projects”, you can easily keep track of all your jobs, arrange your measurements by project, calculate the amount of materials you need and order them straight from the app.

ToolSmart™ Laser Distance Measurer
Does all the things a laser measurer should, measuring distances up to 100 feet with the push of a button. But the real benefit comes when it is used with “My Projects” to calculate the precise amount of materials you need to complete your job. Paint, Flooring, and Crown are just a few of the materials you’ll be able to calculate. Once you have your amount, shop directly within the app and view related materials that will help you get the job done right.

ToolSmart™ Digital Angle Finder
Quickly determines the angle of any corner. This tool is especially useful for crown moulding and flooring applications to make sure you get perfect cuts every time.

ToolSmart™ Video Inspection Camera
Puts hard-to-reach places in plain view with the help of an 8mm camera mated to a flexible 3.3-foot probe. If conditions are less than ideal, you can use your smartphone as a second view screen. For jobs requiring documentation, images and videos can be saved to the ToolSmart™ app with the push of a button. Everything needed to write a report, share details with clients, or come up with an estimate is organized and ready to go.

ToolSmart™ Digital Multimeter
Reads voltage, current, resistance, temperature, and more with turn of the dial. It also allows a smartphone to serve as a second viewing screen in case conditions are dark, or there’s more than one person on the job. All data goes directly from the meter to the ToolSmart™ app.

App just updated a couple days ago now every time I open my projects it just crashes. Help! I cannot access any of my saved data!!!!

Lacks basic features, forgets measurements
MisterMysterio

This app is supposed to be used to catalogue measurements taken from General Tools. Bad: - Cannot manually enter measurements readings. - Cannot copy, paste, or move measurements to projects. - Clears the last entered description/ name of a measurement between consecutive measurements. That means I have to retype the description of each measurement... EVERY TIME. - Cannot assign previous measurements to projects. (Worst missing feature). - App forgets "recent measurements" on exit. So if a measurement is not originally recorded in a project, it is gone forever the next time you go to use the tool. I feel that this app is extremely frustrating to use, lacks basic features, and is a waste of my time/money. Using this app makes me angry because it appears to have been developed by someone who was not paid enough or who has not attained significant education.

Doesn't work

Connects to my laser meter, but none of my measurements show up on the app.

Mandatory registration ruins otherwise capable app
AricP

V3 of this app now requires you to register with ToolSmart before you can do anything at all. I wouldn't mind if this were optional but requiring it really slows down the process of getting to work and I don't really feel the need to share my personal info with a tool company. I don't recommend upgrading if it bothers you.

New Design and Features

I'm happy with the new design and features of the app, looking forward to future updates.

Registration REQUIRED to use a product I paid for?
MrFuzzknuckle

Absolute garbage update update. I haven't had this thing a month and now I HAVE to create an account for a product I paid for? Before I can use it AT ALL? This is extortion, pure and simple. You do not have the right to force me to give you any info for a physical product. I will definitely be giving negative advertisements for this and all future products.

Good update

Overall very happy with where they're bringing this. New design is much improved. See where they're going with this app and very excited. Looking forward to continued updates.

Its never worked
This name taken too?75gj

Wish I'd returned it. Its never worked with the phone. Ever. It syncs but thats it. Tried the latest software today, created an account so I can have better commercials aimed at me but still a no-go. It won't even save projects. Input the name & the "save" button does nothing. Very underwhelmed.
