KNIPEX Tools has launched a new mobile app with product search and augmented reality features. The app is designed to help construction professionals discover product information about the Germany-based manufacturer's hand tools or to find the right tool for a specific application – whether on the jobsite or on the road.
The new app’s goal is to bring the world of KNIPEX into the pocket of workers and customers. With over 1,300+ tools in the product assortment, the Product Search Functionality allows users to find an item by searching for the keyword or part number.
The KNIPEXplorer product finder is a new resource for pipe cutting and crimping. App users are prompted to enter information such as the application and material used and the KNIPEXplorer will suggest the right tool for the job. Additional tool categories will be included in the KNIPEXplorer.
With the Augmented Reality Function (AR) select tools can be placed virtually on a workbench or jobsite. Simply switch on the camera and view the pliers in three dimensions; rotate, zoom or place them anywhere in the environment.
In an integrated Wishlist, users can save all KNIPEX tools of interest to them in their personal user account. North American users can also utilize the Where to Buy feature to find both online and in-store retailers carrying the KNIPEX line and navigate to their websites to make a purchase.
The app is available in English, German and French with more languages to come. Additional updates and extensions of the KNIPEX app are already planned and in development as well. The KNIPEX app is now available to download in the App Store or Google Play.
