You can enter in the material you’re cutting and set the ideal blade speed for the project, you can program slower blade speeds at the start of the cut to allow for smoother, safer entry into the materials, and you can set the saw to stop cutting as soon as it detects that it has exited a material. The Bluetooth-enabled Milwaukee M18 Fuel Sawzall works with Milwaukee’s One-Key app, which allows you to customize the way the saw works.


The good news is that that’s the brand we’re talking about today. Bluetooth-Enable Sawįor starters, to clear the air, the term “sawzall” (thought of and said as “saws all”) is used generally for reciprocating saws all the time, but it’s not actually a term at all, it’s a copyrighted name held by toolmaker Milwaukee. That’s helpful for basic things like measuring a screw you need to buy more of at the hardware store but also great for detail work like repairing electronics or making charming little furniture. (AKA 0.02mm.) For any object six inches or under in size, this tool can tell you the exact size. Not when a $16 digital caliper can create measurements accurate to within 0.001 inches. Sorry, ruler, you’re no longer needed here. The level can also tell you when you’ve hit level (or 90º) with an audio indicator, helpful especially when you’re working alone and can’t move to check the screen. Instead, rely on its large LCD display that tells you your measurements and trust the device to be accurate to within 0.1 degrees. The Shefio Digital Magnetic Level has two bubble vials, but you won’t use them. And in some projects, that’s a sizable error. So even if it looks to you like that bubble floating there in the tube of your old spirit level is centered, you might be off a degree or two. Here’s the thing about using a level: the person using it? It’s a person. You can wrap the tape measure around the object in question, from a drainpipe to a banister, cinch the tape tight, then use the LED screen to note precise measurements. But that same accuracy is amazingly useful when you need to measure circular or irregularly shaped objects. The PIE by Bagel Labs smart tape measure was actually designed as a fitness and weight loss tool, helping users to measure their stomachs to within 1 mm accuracy and use a paired app to calculate and track body fat. Cubit uses lasers, a roller wheel, and input from an AR (augmented reality) app on your phone to make highly precise measurements, helping you pinpoint exactly where to hang that picture, align that carpet, or start sawing through your lumber.

The former is a measurement tool perfect for planning out wall hangings, room layout, cabinetry projects, and anything else where there will be a highly visual element. Ditch the old school analog measuring tapes and rulers, then get two smart devices: the Plott Cubit Virtual Reality Measuring Tool and PIE by Bagel Labs smart tape measure. If you measure wrong at the start, the whole project is doomed to failure. In fact, enough talk, let’s get to the tools! Smart Measuring Tools Plus, they just speed things up, and that’s enough for me.
SMART TOOL LEVEL MANUAL PROFESSIONAL
Smart tools can remove the guesswork that, when it goes wrong, can turn that little do it yourself repair project into a major problem that requires professional assistance. Semi-kidding aside, with a good suite of smart tools, even the most amateur handyman can make perfectly adequate home repairs, undertake varied building projects, and generally DIY better. So I’ve enlisted some smart tools to help protect my DIY projects from myself. So when I need to fix a faulty light switch, repair a hole in the drywall (kids …), or hang a new door, it’s measure once, good enough, start sawing and hammering and just get it done! Which is not the smartest approach. If I had hours to while away on home improvement projects or a furniture build, I’d gladly put in many a long afternoon carefully planning out my project, sourcing the tools and materials with care, measuring once, twice, and three times, moving slowly through each step of the process, and generally enjoying both the time spent at work as well as the anticipation of a job well done.īut I don’t have that kind of time, and again, being frank, I’m pretty impatient.

I’m a pretty handy guy, but two things above all else limit my true DIY potential: A lack of free time and a lack of patience.
