Picture Hanging Tool with Built in Level, Black, 36 inch

This tool makes hanging pictures so much easier! It’s simple to use, helps you get everything level and evenly spaced, and saves a lot of time measuring. It worked great for hanging multiple frames and made the whole process much faster. Very useful to have around the house. Definitely recommend it!

We had a big empty wall to fill and this tool made the job so much easier. We were done in less then an hour and on our way. Like any tool that conforms to your custom needs you may need to experiment and play around a little to get the best use of this. For us, after watching a few videos on YouTube this was a no brainer. The tool has a level which slides, I put it dead center for our needs. The arms are removable for singe hook or bracket applications. And easy to read numbers help you keep your item centered. The push pins are sharp but small and you really need to push hard to made the mark, also you will notice the sharp pins sit away from the wall when your lining it up, you need to hold the top of the device firmly and at a slight angle push the pins into the wall. By not sitting flush to begin with you ensure you won't mark your walls until your ready to make your mark. This is one of our best finds yet. Very happy with item overall.

The idea of this product is a no-brainer because let's face it, hanging a picture straight isn't always the easiest thing to do, especially when you have 2 hanging points. For the most part I like this product, except it feels a bit flimsier than I expected (not sure why...I think I thought part of it would be aluminum but it's all plastic). The one thing that I think could use a bit of work on this is that when you flip the thing around to "poke" the wall to mark where you put your hanging hardware, there's very, very little "flat surface" that goes against the wall, making the whole thing kinda wobbly. The first thing I used to hang with this came out nice and straight, so again, it's a good product, but it would be even better if it was more stable when marking the wall.

This product has promise and will definitely have you making less holes on your wall to hang stuff and make it look professional. We used this to hang a gallery on a our wall with 4 inch spacing around six identical frames. For installing a series of frames a long level will add tremendous help as holding this apparatus and keeping it level is difficult. If you are hanging just one frame, don’t bother. Hanging a series of frames this tool cuts down on time and headaches. This tool is not perfect. The locking twist knob seems to move slightly which can compound your slight errors over say a series of three frames. If the locking mechanism were a pressure lock, it could work better. The “hooks” on the tool could work better as well. I had trouble hooking this tool to hangers that did not sit flush on the frame. Overall, this made quick work for hanging multiple frames with even spacing. It’s not perfect, but takes out the guess work and repetitive nailing looking for the right distance. If used as a tool and not a measurement device or level, you can make less holes and have better success at creating a gallery in your home.

SO THIS THING REALLY HELPS THOSE WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS IN PICTURE HANGING AND ALIGNING IT UP CORRECTLY. THE LITTLE GREEN BALANCER ON THE BACK OF THE ITEM HELPS YOU "BALANCE" OUT AND ALIGN IT CORRECTLY. HAVING THE MEASURING LINES ON THE ITEM HELPS YOU PROPERLY MEASURE HOW FAR OR CLOSE YOUR GOING TO HANG THE PICTURE. TO ME MOST OF ALL, I LIKE THE NAIL THATS ATTACHED TO IT BECAUSE ONCE YOU'VE FOUND YOUR SPOT FOR HANGING, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS APPLY PRESSURE TO THE TIPS OF THE "NAIL" HOLDER AND VOILA!!!....YOU HAVE YOUR MARKINGS. THERE IS A VIDEO LINK ON YOUR PRODUCT IF YOUR A VISIBLE LEARNER BUT ALSO VISIBLE INSTRUCTIONS LAID OUT ON THE PRODUCT FOR YOU TO READ. YES THIS IS VERY HELPFUL CAUSE I AM NOT A PICTURE HANGER AND WOULDNT HANG THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THE TROUBLE; NOW I DONT MIND HANGING THEM UP. STILL MAY NEED A LITTLE ASSISTANCE FOR BIGGER PICTURES THOUGH; BUT STILL VERY HANDY TOOL

BEST TOOL EVER! I have no idea why someone would give this less than 5 stars but I'm SO GLAD I didn't listen to the opinion of others! I'm a woman who has a very basic knowledge of tool usage but was able to hang 4 different frames PERFECTLY (in only about 5 minutes each) on the first try. Two of the things I hung were shelves that my son puts cars on so obviously they have to be level or it will be more like a hill for the cars to ride down on! The cars sit without the slightest roll. I highly recommend this if you ever find yourself hanging things with 2 hooks!

I bought this because I thought it was a brilliant idea and didn’t start reading reviews until after I purchased it. I got very concerned, based on all the negative reviews, but thought I would give it a try. Although I agree with some of the feedback about the design shortcomings, I found it easy to use and it made quick work of the pictures I was hanging. (I do recommend using your own level since I was unsure of the accuracy of the one attached.)

I just moved and had a lot of pictures and artwork to hang. Having done this once before, I wasn't looking forward to running around with a level, a measuring tape, a pencil, etc. (And then being told it was all wrong by my SO and having to do it all over again...) Was really hoping this would be the product to save me. Issue #1 to be aware of. The plastic hooks on the device that you set on the frame are very short and a little thick. If you have a frame to hang with the jagged edge sawtooth hangers or something similar that's very close to the frame itself, you don't have much room to work with. It really would have been better if the hooks were much smaller in diameter and the "arms" a little longer so that you can get an accurate measurement with frames that don't use a wire. Issue # 2, which would seem to contradict # 1, is that the plastic hooks are VERY flimsy. One broke when I was pressing on it to mark the nail hole on the 3rd picture I hung. So now the device is essentially unusable. I know - I just said that the hooks themselves should be smaller. And now I'm saying they need to be sturdier. My recommendation is to use something other than low grade plastic. Maybe the hook portion needs to be metal? Something that doesn't break off under moderate pressure on the 3rd use? Final issue - this would help so much. Even when the device works perfectly and your hanging a frame with a wire, it is still difficult to get the vertical arms aligned perfectly. There are ruler marks on the arms, but you're trying to measure 1/8 of an inch using a giant inch-diameter yellow know. Would really help to have some sort of witness mark or way to get a more precise vertical location measurement so that you know that the two arms are level when hanging a wire frame photo. Bottom line - even when I felt like I did everything correctly and according to the instructions, I still found that the pictures weren't perfectly level and had to break out the bullet level, the pencils, and make extra holes in my newly painted walls. Great idea. Just needs a little more development work. I didn't find that it was ready for prime time.

This nifty tool makes it easy to hang a picture or mirror precisely!

This is very big and can be quite heavy to use. I have seen lighter and smaller solutions. Overall though a very quality product

Took a little bit of practice to get the hang of it, but now I have it is so easy to use, wish I had something like this years ago!

Crap don’t buy it. I did tried to send it back had to go back to the states post office wanted £60 to send someone will get a boot sale bargain.

This was extremely useful. I have four frames that required horizontal alignment and I hadn't gotten around to it in a long time. Once I bought this, I was able to use this to setup my frames without any hassle. Works as advertised. Simple tool providing an easy solution.
