Gecko Grip pads help hold the level against the wall -- even when you're working one-handed.

The adjustable Accu Mark targets line up easily against the backs of pictures or shelves that have preset marks or hang tabs.

Once you've established your Accu Mark targets, set the level against the wall and transfer their position with a pencil.

Black & Decker's 36-inch Accu Mark level is designed to perform any basic leveling job with ease. Now you can hang pictures, shelves, decorative items and much more with all the precision of a professional -- and none of the guessing and re-guessing that damages walls with repeated drilling or nailing. The BDSL10 is a lightweight, handy home device that's packed with the high-grade durability and convenience features you expect from an industry leader like Black & Decker.

This model boasts advanced Gecko Grip friction pads to help keep the level steady under pressure. These pads do such a great job of preventing slippage that you can even hold the level with one hand and mark the wall with your other one. But don't worry -- these grabbing nubs won't leave a scuff, so even the lightest paint is safe.

In addition to the Gecko Grips, the BDSL10 also features two adjustable Accu Mark targets that slide along the center rail. These marks help you hang pictures and shelves with built-in wall mounts or preset hang holes; just line up the marks with the mounts on the back of your pictures, then place the level against the wall and note the spots with a pencil. Using this technique, it’s a cinch to hang heavy mirrors and large portraits, long shelves and big paintings.

Content: this thing has great features (love the movable targets) but I wonder how reliable and exact the vials are.
Summary: awesome features - iffy vials

Content: I have been trying to hang pictures for some time now. They all have been uneven. Finally I can get them straight and even. I love the holes on the level that allow you to nail the nail in the exact spot and with no time and effect at all. The length is great so no matter what size you need to hang, you can. Everyone needs this tool as part of their inventory for home or office.
Summary: finally I can be straight

Content: Bought this for $20 on Amazon while it was on sale. It was a steal at that price. Good level. Definitely worth $30. I would go to the hardware store if you need something a little more 'professional' though. Still, for anyone doing work around the house (especially picture hanging!), than this is a good level to buy.
Summary: Nice level

Content: This level worked great for hanging most of my large frames. The only problem I found was for smaller frames (<16"). The Accu marks are not able to move close enough. Otherwise, I would recommend it.
Summary: Gecko grip

Content: The level has a nice solid feel, and the rulers are incredibly helpful for spacing hangers (either for one hanging that needs multiple hangers or trying to hang several items in a row). It feels relatively sturdy, especially for work around the house.

The only thing I would like to change about the product is that it does not come with either a holder or a built-in tool for marking where to drill - the black & decker stud finder that I have used comes with a small plastic tool that punches a small hole in the drywall which would have been perfect.
Summary: Solid Consumer Product
