iHandy Carpenter review

Five professional tools in 1 app makes iHandy Carpenter a wonderful app for anyone looking to use their iPhone as a measuring tool when working around the house.

The iPhone can act as a:
– A steel ruler, supporting both inches and centimeters. By swiping it left and right, the ruler is capable to measure things much longer than your iPhone!
– A steel protractor, measuring angles from 0 to 180 degrees.
– A surface level, the best tool to level any flat surface
– A plumb bob, the easiest way for you to verify the verticality of lines or walls
– A bubble level bar, exactly as you can see in carpenter tool kit shops, and more beautiful!

– Once calibrated, the plumb bob, surface level and level bar can also be used as an inclinometer/clinometer by reading the angles on the screen.

– How to calibrate the plumb bob
1. Find a corner with two sides of a straight wall
2. Put your iPhone back-to-back onto one side of the wall, with the edge of your iPhone against the other side of the wall
3. Press “Calibration” button

– How to calibration the surface level
1. Find a flat and horizontal table
2. Put your iPhone onto the table, with the back of the iPhone against the surface of the table
3. Press “Calibration” button

– How to calibration the bubble level bar
1. Find a flat and horizontal table
2. Put your iPhone onto the table, with the edge of the iPhone against the surface of the table
3. Press “Calibration” button
