The BUILDERA SMARTGAUGEMULTICOMPARATOR combines seven optical measurements in one. Measure length, tile lippage*, crack width, material thickness, hail-impact diameter, slope and common-nail sizes—all in a durable pocket-sized tool that fits inside your pocket, folio, or toolbox. Buildera manufactures the all-weather SMARTGAUGE in the USA from thick, extruded polycarbonate that resists breakage, accidental drops, and hard impact.
Features and Benefits:
Measure material thickness and cracks conforming to ACI 22R-01 from 0.004" to 0.25" in 28 graduated increments.
Quickly document hail-impact damage up to 3" with integrated hail gauge.
Measure slope in 5º increments between ±15º.
Scan the QR code with your mobile phone to access online instructions and useful examples.
Weed out non-forming common nails from 2d to 20d with the ASTM F1667 nail comparator on the reverse side.
Rely on extra thick polycarbonate substrate and multi-layer UV-cured inks to improve field durability.
12-month replacement **against breakage gives peace-of-mind.
*In some applications—such as in tile setting or inspection where adjacent tiles are uneven—users may compare the differences in elevation between edges of adjacent tile modules (also called lippage) for conformance to ANSI A108.02. To prepare the SMARTGAUGE for precise tile lippage measurements, use an orbital sander, belt sander, or disk sander to carefully trim just up to the fine black line along the top edge of the gauge (contained within the first edge-to-edge red line). This DIY modification provides extreme accuracy of subsequent measurements well beyond typical manufacturing and printing tolerances or what a tape measure can provide. Buildera designed the SMARTGAUGE specifically to allow user-trimming of approximately 1/32” to 1/16” material along the top and bottom edges where such edges are necessary zero reference point.
