Why we build these
Free tools, built from real workshop problems
Every tool here started as something we needed ourselves while manufacturing display stands in the UK: a measurement we kept getting wrong, a calculation we kept redoing, a question customers kept asking. They are free, they need no account, and they will stay that way.
Measured, not guessed
Dimensions, capacities and fit ranges come from physical products we make and measure in-house, not from scraped listings or rounded estimates.
Nothing to sign up for
No account, no paywall and no email gate. Where a tool remembers a setting, it stores that value locally in your own browser.
Made to be passed on
Every tool has a share button and shareable result links, so you can drop a result straight into a club chat, forum thread or group message.
Toolkit FAQ
Questions about the tools
Suggestions are welcome — the roadmap is shaped by what hobbyists actually ask for.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use with no account, no trial and no email required. They are built and maintained by WarSplay®, a brand of Blubbercove Ltd, and funded by the display stands we manufacture.
Can I use these tools on a phone?
Yes. Each tool is designed mobile-first so it works at the painting desk or in a shop. Tools that produce a printable output also offer an A4 print or download option for desktop use.
Can I link to or embed these tools?
Please do. Links from blogs, forums, clubs and YouTube descriptions are welcome and no permission is needed. Each tool has a share button that copies a clean link, and many produce shareable result links too.
When do the remaining tools launch?
Tools marked “In development” are actively being built and released in batches. The counter at the top of this page updates as each one goes live, so bookmark the page or check back monthly.
Can I suggest a tool?
Yes — suggestions genuinely drive this roadmap. If there is a calculation, checker or planner you keep doing by hand, tell us and it will be considered for the next batch.
