            [post_content] => Anyone who has worked on a DIY build project knows how messy and cluttered a workbench becomes with tools and instruments. Around half of these are usually measurement tools. Since there is a separate tool for each type of measurement, it is not easy to carry them around and some tools seem to be always missing. Most of these tools are still manually operated with limited resolution and flexibility.

To solve this issue I have developed a working digital multi-measurement tool which is capable of working as a spirit level, laser level, angle finder, measuring tape, laser distance measure, ruler, and roll measure. The device comes with one ruled edge and a double torsion hinge which also works as a stand for laser-level and laser distance measurement setups. The product also includes a wireless charging bay that also doubles as a magnetic tripod adaptor for the device
