- Finally, I can hang items with two nails!
- I have the hardest time hanging things with two nails and still getting it level. I can measure and mark until I'm blue in the face and still hang it crooked. But with this level, I just line up the sliders to the back of my picture, put the level on the wall, mark the holes, drill and DONE. I have used it dozens of times since getting it and every thing is LEVEL. Finally.
After reading other reviews, one thing: it is not supposed to stick to the walls. The gecko pads keep it steady, and won't scuff up the wall while you hold it in place and mark your spots.
My ONLY complaint/design suggestion... I wish the sliders were removable, then I could put them both on one side and hang smaller pictures. That's why it gets 4 stars, you are limited on the size of thing you can hang. - 2008-06-11, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Excellent and useful level
- This product is excellent for hanging things at home. I got tired of marking up all of my walls when my other levels slipped. This one sticks to the walls, without leaving marks, while having to apply only some pressure. The "accu mark" targets look like they may come in handy, but aren't necessary since you can just add masking tape on the top of any level and mark your holes on the masking tape.

- Poor level that is not level
- This level, for one, arrived damaged. For two, it was not level. I placed it on a surface and it showed it was not level. Fine. I then turned the level around and it showed that it was not level in the other direction. While the "Accu Marks" are a good idea, it needs to be paired with a better quality level. Needless to say, it was packed up and shipped back to Amazon.

- Great Tool, every one should own one, Needs 1 improvement
- This is a great tool for hanging pictures, shelves, towel bars, toilet paper holders just about anything that needs two marking points, you can make the marking points accurate and level every time, The only improvement that the tool needs is some sort of steel pin on the back of the accumark sliding bracket piece to make the marking points on the wall this would work great and you would not even need to reach for a pencil.

- A level that isn't
- It doesn't matter whether the special features of this level work as advertised or not, if it's not reliable as a level. The first one I bought was dramatically off-level, by about 1/8 inch over the length of the level. (This is easy to check. Place it on a nearly level surface and carefully note the bubble position. Then spin it halfway around, as if it were on a turntable, and carefully check the bubble position again. If the positions are different, the bubble vial is not level.)
I got a replacement, and it was also off-level, though not as much. Its bigger problem was that the bubble was so small, it was nowhere near as wide as the distance between the level marks. This makes it impossible to see accurately whether the bubble is centered or not.
This level appears to be a clever idea very badly executed and without any kind of reliable quality control. What on earth good is a level that isn't level? - 2008-04-09, 12 of 15 people found this review helpful, Rated:
