## What is ToolSmart?

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.

### 1/5 — Toolsmart App doesn’t work

*2021-01-17*

Cannot use with my iPhone 11.  App crashes when I select tool and attempt to continue.  IPhone not finding fevice on bluetooth either.

### 1/5 — Bad app!

*2021-01-11*

The app won’t even let me get off the 1st page and then crashes!!!

### 1/5 — App won’t start

*2021-01-07*

Downloaded the app and registered. You need to pick at least one tool, you own, before you can continue. The app crashes immediately after.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-12-27*

Not updated for 3 years. Just crashes.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2020-10-23*

I was able to register but the app just crashes constantly. Can’t even sync my light with it. Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Non working

*2020-10-13*

App appears abandoned

### 1/5 — This is complete garbage it can’t login or even create account

*2020-05-21*

I hope tool will be better than App

### 1/5 — Connected

*2020-03-23*

Ha ha ha.  Angle finder connects to app but does not transmit reading.  Joke technology.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work.

*2020-03-02, version 3.3.0*

It prompts you to create an account and asks if you own a tool smart instrument. It then creates the account (without notification) so I log in and then am prompted with the first new user question. “Please sélect your instrument” but doesn’t display any options. So you can move forward. I’m a developer, this is horrible UX guys.

### 1/5 — Potentially deadly with the multimeter!

*2020-01-07, version 3.3.0*

The app won’t let me register, and even skipping registration to connect to the tool shows nothing but 0.0% when I should see 115-120VAC, even though it says it’s connected to the meter. Trying different measurement modes also shows nothing but 0.0%. Why on earth would I want to see potentially dangerous electrical voltage measurements as a percentage!?!? This could kill someone! This app and tool are complete garbage. I will be returning this multimeter and deleting the app immediately
