One of the most frustrating things is trying to hang a picture! Do you agree? I have tried every method known to man, but always end up with multiple holes in the wall whether I like it or not. It’s especially difficult when you have one of those pieces with two hangers on the back~ forget about it! With those, my only hope is that the multiple holes left in the wall from my trial and error will get covered up by the picture when I I actually do get it up on the wall. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve almost given up on getting something to hang straight! Well, thanks to BLACK+DECKER MarkIT Picture Hanging tool, you can hang your picture straight and in the right spot on the first try! No joke. This little tool is a lifesaver. I absolutely love it and can’t wait to show you exactly how this nifty little tool works.
It’s going to save you tons of time and frustration! I am giving one of these to everyone on my Christmas list this year. It is that good!
So how does it work?
Absolutely everything you need to hang it right the first time is right in this fold up little tool. Grab your hammer and the BLACK+DECKER MarkIT tool and you are good to go. It has a level, a sliding ruler, hanging hooks for your pictures and a place to keep your supplies.
You can use this for a single mount or a double mount. To begin hanging your tool, position your pictures where you want them on the hooks which are provided on the sliding ruler.
Position the pictures where you want to hang them on your wall and use the level to ensure they are hanging straight.
Press the tool firmly against the wall. It will leave indentations so you know where to hammer your nails.
Hammer your nails in.
Ta Da! Right the very first time!

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

I would use it to quickly vacuum up the dog hair off my hard wood floors!

Yes! It would be a lifesaver!

What an awesome tool – my husband would LOVE that. He hates hanging pictures. And I could seriously use a new little vacuum – our dustbuster is just about to die, and I use it almost daily to clean up toddler + dog messes!

Yay! Hope you win, Amanda!

This tool is awesome! I really love that it can hang two pictures at one – what a lifesaver for creating gallery walls! Now, that cool vacuum would come in handy when I make a mess of my kitchen baking up some holiday treats 😉
