But there are benefits to creating a BILT app account: - Save your receipt - Register a product - Access warranty information - Keep downloaded instructions in “My Stuff” to access later - Leave a rating & review to help your favorite brands improve their products over time AWARDS - Most Innovative Construction Tool, National Association of Home Builders - Gold Winner, User Experience Awards - Winner, Pro Tool Innovation Awards BILT TOOLBOX The BILT Toolbox is a collection of instructions to help you with home, auto, and safety projects, as well as guides for basic power tools. Follow easy BILT instructions to fix a toilet, lay bathroom tile, paint a room, jump a car battery, change a tire, use a circular saw, adjust a bicycle, repair drywall, and so much more to help with anything adulthood sends your way. We use the BILT Toolbox too, so if we have a question about something, we design an instruction for it. We welcome your suggestions, too. From personal experience we recommend downloading “How to Jump a Car Battery” before you need it because internet connections at soccer fields can be spotty. :) DATA PRIVACY We do not collect personal data other than what you choose to provide if you create an account, register a product, or leave a review.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR USERS - “I really like putting things together, but the BILT app made it a breeze! A fun little activity and a great outcome. I’m a visual learner so I really appreciate a 3D option with parts clearly labeled!! I could build a million things with the help of this app particularly. Highly recommend!!!” - "I'm telling you, I could easily engineer a space craft if they had the directions on BILT." - "I usually shy away from putting stuff together but this helped me a lot. I’m proud of myself.” - “Made it very easy, I didn’t cuss or throw anything.” - “My husband & I are NOT handy people. However, with the BILT app we were able to correctly put together a grill in a couple hours with NO arguments! LOL! This app may have saved our marriage. I highly recommend this app.” - "Extremely easy and very convenient. Thank you for making my life a little bit easier." - “For someone who is an auditory learner, this is great. Thanks. Love that I can review assembly instructions even before it ships and then use the app once things are unpacked. Plus, it will always be there should I ever need it again. Just brilliant!” Do it right the first time and download BILT now!
