Editors' Review

by Download.com staff / February 27, 2009

This handy and free utility quickly converts almost every unit of measurement under the sun into other units. Quad-Lock Unit Converter is not just small, but it's also time-efficient, as no installation is required other than clicking on the EXE file. When determining conversions, you first select from a long list of subjects, including ones for area, charge, temperature, mass, density, and thermal conductance. If you don't regularly work with, say, viscosity, you can remove it from the main window. You then choose your source and desired units, such as feet to centimeters. After that, you simply type in a specific number, and this application will convert it to your desired unit in mere seconds. Quad-Lock Unit Converter also provides quick access to a scientific calculator, but that's about the only extra you'll find. Whether you're a scientist working out complex equations or a traveler who's baffled by the metric system, this freebie can help you out of a bind.

Publisher's Description

From mmital:

Unit Converter is a freeware tool that can take care of all your unit conversions even when offline. It has an easy-to-use interface and contains most of the units commonly encountered while solving engineering problems. With more than 900 units, you are likely to find the units you are looking for. Other features include the ability to quickly search for units and categories, and add user-defined conversions. Everything is built into a single executable file so no uninstaller is necessary. Its small file size makes it easy to distribute among friends and co-workers.

Version 5.4 adds ability to perform coordinate transformations from latitude/longitude to UTM (and vice-versa).

"Just about every unit conversion you could ever need."

benjiroo February 23, 2015 / Version: Quad-Lock Unit Converter 5.4

2015-02-23 09:22:31 | By benjiroo

Pros

Easy to use.
Has every unit conversion you could possibly need.

Cons

Maybe too many units. Would be nice to allow user to hide unneeded units. For example, I don't really need a conversion for attajoules or megaliters.

Summary

Just about every unit conversion you could ever need. I would only make one change for full five-star rating: I think it would be nice to be able to hide units that we never need, to reduce having to scroll through all those extra unit conversions.

"It wouldn't install on my netbook"

howardferns November 19, 2010 / Version: Quad-Lock Unit Converter 5.4

2010-11-19 03:04:37 | By howardferns

Pros

I'll never know. Looks like it was the best of the bunch of the free converters, with some good features such as Search

Cons

Downloaded it twice, each time it appeared on my screen but after one use it was gone & I couldn't open it again. XP Search found 3 or 4 files but none opened anything. Contact screen on maker's website is for business customers.

"Outstanding program!"

mrsfixit October 04, 2010 / Version: Quad-Lock Unit Converter 5.4

2010-10-04 10:43:56 | By mrsfixit

Pros

This is an excellent unit converter. It's small, fast, and converts just about anything you can think of. Oh, and it's freeware.

Cons

Uh, the *only* con I can think of? There's no Linux version. 3 of my 4 computers now run Ubuntu, and I wish I had this on Ubuntu.

Summary

You won't find a better converter than this. This is an excellent program, and I thank the creator of it for sharing it!

"Great product and very powerful"

wornout99 November 28, 2009 / Version: Quad-Lock Unit Converter 5.4

2009-11-28 06:10:19 | By wornout99

Pros

Just the product I needed as I was born and lived in the USA on the non-metric system and now I am retired and living in Baja, Mexico and on the full metric system.

Cons

My only problem with the product was ME. I didn't realize it was so customizable until I checked out the third tab in preferences.

Summary

You should have this product, whether or not you are retired :-)

What's new in version 5.4
* Added ability to perform coordinate transformations from latitude/longitude to UTM (and vice-versa). * Added Heat Flux conversion category with 25 units * Added Magnetic Flux conversion category with 14 units * Added Volumetric Heat Generation category with 11 units * Added 6 new units to Fuel Consumption category (non-linear conversions such as Liters/100km to Miles/Gallon) * Corrected conversion factor in Amount of Substance; 1 mol = 1000 mmol, showed 1000000 mmol * Re-organized main menu. Also, added an icon next to each menu item. * Quad-Lock Converter now uses Unicode for the entire program (UI controls and the engine), enabling internationalization. * Removed restrictions such that users can now add an un-limited number of custom units and categories. Furthermore, users can also add non-multiplicative unit conversions (such as from Liters/100km to Miles/Gallon) * Changed location of UnitConverter.ini (preferences file) to the %APPDATA%\UnitConverter folder or, if running from a removable drive, to the removable drive's root folder (e.g. F:\UnitConverter.ini). * User defined custom categories can now be rendered visible or invisible in the main window using Main Menu > Edit > Preferences * The conversion engine now uses a hash table to efficiently map unit names to associated conversion factors. This should improve speed on old and obsolete computers (the difference may not be noticeable on fast modern computers).
