BILT TOOLBOX
The BILT Toolbox is a collection of instructions to help you with home improvement, auto, and safety projects, as well as guides for basic power tools. Follow easy BILT instructions to repair a toilet, lay bathroom tile, paint a room, jump a car battery, change a tire, use a circular saw, adjust a bicycle, repair drywall, and so much more to help with anything adulthood sends your way.
We use the BILT Toolbox too, so if we have a question about something, we design an instruction for it. We welcome your suggestions, too. From personal experience we recommend downloading “How to Jump a Car Battery” before you need it because internet connections at soccer fields can be spotty. :)

We do collect aggregate data such as the number of downloads for each product and the average time it takes to complete an instruction step, but it cannot be tied to an individual user.
FROM OUR USERS
"This app is pretty wonderful! Although I could have put my purchase together without this app, it would have required more time, lots of reading and possibly reading the same thing more than once just to get it right. I love the 3D instructions and ease of having a 360 degree view of the item, that really made it super easy for me. Thanks!"

"This is by far the best app for anyone that is into DIY. The 3D animations and audio are amazing. This app takes the frustration out of vague instructions and simplifies it. I was able to install my first celling fan with lights without having to use the paper manual. GREAT APP!!!"
-Daron H. on Google Play
"Made it SO easy! Love that you can zoom in on the parts, replay instructions, and it will hold your place if you shut the app to be continued later. First time using it and it was awesome!"

Purchased a Hampton Bay bathroom fan. Found the QR code for this app in the box and figured I'd give it a try since I thought it looked interesting. It said that the product's instructions could be found on the app but after I installed it, I couldn't find anything even remotely related to the product I have. So, nice total waste of time! 👍

Used this on a large dollhouse. Was extremely helpful. I did not have one time where I had to redo a step. Because the app was very clear all along the way. You can rotate the image 360 Degrees to see exactly how the piece should be oriented. And you can zoom in and ask for a call out of the exact Parts you need on every step.

Looks nice but doesn't hold it's weight. Finger operations are not customizable and the speed at which things spin are ridiculous. I the voice used was not at all easy to follow and was quite annoying to be honest. I have the 3 Stars cause it's a beautiful start with great graphis however the implementation was rough. I didn't get through step 1 before I closed the app and went to using the less frustrating paper instructions.

I've been repairing things for years! I even read blue prints in order to build things, but these instructions now a days suck when putting together the smallest things! This app is great! I recommend this app for anyone who is planning to buy a new product from a store that you will have to put together!! 2 whole days I spent putting a simple TV stand together, then downloaded this app, my troubles were over!! Thanks to the owner of this app!!!!!!😉

Absolutely terrible. I installed this just to get a 3d walk through for easy building for an entertainment center and 2 major issues arisen. 1: the 3d model is hard to distinguish what orientation a piece is. 2: compared to the instruction booklet, the app will have you building whatever it is out of order... these are huge issues that need fixed.

The production quality is quite good. I just assembled a Weber Spirit II E-310 grill. In one situation the ability to zoom and rotate was pretty helpful. I am pretty mechanically inclined, so for the most part printed booklet was more helpful than the app (the ability to look back and forth between an unchanging illustration and the grill I was assembling was better than the zoomable rotateable app), but this is just me. I am guessing for a lot of people this app will be very helpful.

what a great installation experience it was! so refreshing to not have a huge bag of screws and hardware and some confusing directions. watching the video and listening to what the narrator says makes it even more helpful. I only wish that all things that require you putting them together, had this feature! love it, love it and will highly recommend! Good job.

A surprisingly modern and polished app. What I had assumed initially was that the app would basically be just a place to register the product and receive emails about new products. Surprisingly, this was not the case. I downloaded the app out of curiosity to see what the instructions would look like and found a fantastic 3D-rendered walkthrough that was simple to follow yet thorough. Well done, Bilt app designer!

Great way to feel it be a success. I love the walk through and detail and so on. I only didn't give it 5☆stars because in the middle it was giving me wrong information. The model is showed didn't look identical anymore. I picked up the paper manuel and was redirected to do it correctly. I likely would of damaged something if I had continued. Thanks for the effort but stopped using

This app is game changing. I don't say that lightly. This made what is normally a massive headache and worth paying a professional to do into a simple easy to follow and understand process. I love how you can zoom in and out to see up close which is what you end up doing with a paper instruction manual only you end up with a headache and your eyes won't focus afterward LOL

Used it to build a 3 tier bookshelf from Walmart. Pretty easy to use. It had everything to build it (except for a banner but luckily I already had that). I liked the 3D builder ascept and how easy it was to review the steps before and during the process. I am NOT a handy person, so I'd say if I was able to follow along using this, pretty much anyone else would.

I bought a TV stand and it had an insert within the instructions advertising this app as having interactive 3D instructions. I downloaded the app and got started building. The app is great that it gives you the option to turn the images and zoom in as well which helps when the pictures on printed instructions are hard to see. This was very helpful and I hope the other items I purchased are in this app as well.

Very informative instructions. 3d imaging is great and instructions are very detailed. I rate 3 stars because the mode number of the unit i have is not listed. Even though it states clearly on the box that it can be found on the app. Im left trying to search for the closest model to what i have. Now im left questioning if installation should be the same for my product. Disappointing!

Fantastic for accessibility. Especially if you have difficulty reading and do better with being told what to do. It doesn't have all of the instructions for some items? Or else instructions are outdated for some items which leads to it telling you to do something that doesn't make a lot of sense. Also, my ex made fun of me for needing it to build things as I am dyslexic and have difficulty reading written instruction :(

I was curious so I installed, jumped through its initial hoops, and saw it had my product install right there for me. So I gathered my tools and parts, prepped the site, relaunched the app... nothing. "My stuff" is also empty. Nothing to see now but ads for brands suckered into using this app. After installation I reinstalled to see how it compares to the paper, but this missed a couple steps. Also, the poly modeling/animation are poorly done; no wonder so many people find the views confusing.

It can definitely make assembly a lot easier with voice and 3D models that you can spin around and zoom to view what you're supposed to be doing. Works extremely well and I didn't struggle at all. The only complaint is The app has no permissions to access local files to upload receipts. You must take a picture of a receipt even if it's stored on your device.

Such a great idea. This was 10x better than using the manual. Love the ability to repeat steps, see the hardware needed etc... It was the easiest assembly so far in my life. One suggestion, would be great to be able to highlight how the orientation of screws, washers etc... When opening the hardware tab. Sometimes I had to replay the steps several time to see which side the screw was inserted.

Great app for assembly instructions. I didn't use the paper instructions one time. Tapping on the components gave details about where to find each part. The animations were helpful to see exactly how to complete the next step. It was easy to go forward and back if I needed to, and I could easily rewatch the animations if I needed to. Great idea and execution of digital assembly instructions.

Used this app to install some outdoor patio furniture. The experience was fantastic. There is professional voice guidance for each step and you can click on any part to identify it. This is so much better then printed instructions because it lets you zoom and rotate to get just the right view you need to understand the instruction clearly. This app is a glimpse into the future and the next big step towards AR (augmented reality) assisted installations.
