General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder with Bluetooth TSO02 Review

Have you ever needed to measure the angle of an object when working on a DIY project or as part of a professional job? There’s a tool for that, and it’s called the General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder. In this review, we will discuss the features, pros and cons of this digital angle finder and help you decide if it’s the right tool for you.

Initial Impressions

Lightweight and seemingly not very sturdy, the first impressions of the General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder might not be too impressive, especially for professional contractors. This tool may not survive heavy-duty use, but for those who require it occasionally in their home workshops, treating it with care would be advisable.

Features and Specifications

The most notable feature of this digital angle finder is its Bluetooth compatibility. This allows you to connect the tool to your smartphone using the General Tools Tool Smart App which can be helpful when it comes to saving measurements, annotating photos, and more. However, the app’s compatibility with certain phone models may be limited, and you may encounter some trouble connecting. General Tools has other products in their lineup, some without the smart tools feature, that might be a better fit for someone who does not necessarily need Bluetooth capabilities.

Pricing and Availability

The General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder is priced at around $65, which may seem a little steep for some customers given its construction quality.

Accuracy

One of the biggest drawbacks of this digital angle finder is its lack of accuracy. When trying to measure a 90-degree angle, it can be off by a tenth of a degree. Additionally, the angle finder turns itself on when it detects movement, but it might not adjust its reading to match the actual angle you’re trying to measure – this can result in incorrect angle readings.

To get accurate measurements, you will need to turn off the device and then turn it back on again for calibration. This can be time-consuming and frustrating for users who require speedy, efficient measurements.

Reliability and Durability

The sturdiness of General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder leaves much to be desired. Professionals and contractors need tools that can withstand drops and rough handling. The plastic construction of this angle finder might not be able to handle such use, so you may want to think twice about purchasing this tool if durability is a primary requirement.

Integrating Bluetooth Technology

In recent years, Bluetooth integration into various tools and devices has become quite popular. Some tools and uses are more practical and necessary than others. The General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder’s Bluetooth capability might be useful for contractors, architects or those giving estimates, as it can help to quickly annotate measurements.

However, the success of this technology largely depends on the tool’s accuracy and reliability. This angle finder might not be the best option if you’re primarily interested in Bluetooth functionality.

Conclusion

Overall, the General Tools Tool Smart Digital Angle Finder may not be suitable for professional contractors or those who require a high level of accuracy and durability from their tools. The Bluetooth functionality could come in handy for some users, but make sure to consider all factors before investing in this angle finder.

  1. I wish i would have seen this video before i bought one! what a piece of useless crap this tool is. I tries more than 30 times to connect it and every single
    time it failed!

  2. I came THAT close to buying one of these. Whew.. What a good review!

  3. I have this tool and the problems these guys are talking about was not my experience. I was extremely impressed with the accuracy of this device. Every time I closed it, it reset to 0. Every time I put the angle finder on the sheetrock I was trying to get a constant angle on, it was very consistent. The bubble on the level was very easy to read and get centered for a consistent angle measurement. I'm very happy with this tool.

  4. FORGET DIGI GO OLD SCHOOL NO BATTS

  5. Way to tell it like it is. Thanks.

  6. Thanks for an honest review, now tell me something. Should I be aware of other General Tools?

    God Bless my friend.

  7. No blowing smoke in this review. Ads credibility to your other reviews knowing not everything gets 2 thumbs up. Great video and keep up the good work.

  8. Thanks for the honest review. You should take it apart to see the real build quality.

  9. Thanks for the honest review.  I am sure General Tools will appreciate honest feedback.

  10. Appreciate the honest review. Most reviews of anything I watch or read try to always put a positive spin on everything they review. Your review was no-holds-barred and much appreciated.

  11. Digital precision tools are hit or miss. I'm still looking for a good set of digital calipers that don't break the bank.
