Construction and DIY

Construction and DIY tools: work out how much concrete, tile, wallpaper, paint and lumber a job needs, size up stairs and fencing, and identify a drill bit, screw or nail against a printable 1:1 gauge.

Screw Gauge

Measure a screw on your calibrated screen, or print a true-to-size paper gauge — then read its diameter, thread pitch and length.

Renovation Work Norms

Pick a job and see what it includes under the Russian state construction norms, how many man-hours it should take and how much material your volume needs.

Renovation cost estimate

Enter your rooms — wall, floor, ceiling areas and the skirting run are worked out for you. Tick the jobs, put in your own prices or the ones from the quote you were sent, and see the total next to the standard labor hours.

Measure ten threads on a calibrated screen to get the pitch, TPI and matching sizes. The 1:1 printable sheet adds pitch combs, radius arcs and a feeler table.

Drill Bit Gauge

Measure a drill bit on your calibrated screen, or print a true-to-size gauge — then read its metric and inch size.

O-Ring Sizer

Measure an O-ring on your calibrated screen, or print a true-to-size sizer — then read its inner diameter and cross-section.

Hex Key Gauge

Measure a hex key on your calibrated screen, or print a true-to-size gauge — then read its metric or SAE size.

Nail Gauge

Measure a nail on your calibrated screen, or print a true-to-size gauge — then read its penny size, length and shank thickness.

Paint Calculator

Enter the room size, the number of coats and the paint coverage, and get the liters or gallons to buy.

Wallpaper Calculator

Enter the room size, the roll size and the pattern repeat, and get the number of rolls to buy.
