About this app

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.
