It's nice because it has the gecko grips and all the levels were accurate right out of the box. If you're in need of a long level, this is the one for you, it's cheap and accurate. I purchased this for myself and 2 of my co-workers and we have all decided that this a great tool. The item was just like the description mentioned it would be and like everyone else has mentioned, the grips make it extremely easy to hold the level and drill at the same time.We haven't been able to do any serious testing yet but from what we've seen, it'll do just fine for everyday work.
i love it ,finally can draw a straight line to hang an item on the wall,works great. highly recomended WOW.thanks.
When I checked the level it was off by a good 1/4" from level and 3/16" from plumb. I was given this level as a gift and when I tried to use it the marks I made looked off to my naked eye. Based on my results I wouldn't recommend any Black & Decker level.
At the end of the day, if you take the Gecko Grip and Accu Mark out of the equation you are still left with a fairly priced and perfectly serviceable level.Onto the extras:Accu Mark:Why all levels don't have this I do not know. It is limited by the width of the level (obviously) so you won't be able to use it when hanging a large picture or mirror but that is barely a criticism.
It is nothing that a clean with some goo gone or similar won't tackle but is a minor irritation all the same.All in all, this is a very solid level for the intermediate home improver. the list goes on.Gecko Grip:The level has rubber on the mark to stop it slipping.
I found the system enabled me to quickly and accurately hang pictures, towel bars. It works, it doesn't seem to mark the wall, enough said.the only minor irritation I had with this grip is that the packaging is stuck to the level leaving sticky residue when it is removed.
If you are reading reviews about a level, you are probably interested in whether the gimmicks add or subtract from the quality of the level. It makes complete sense when you think about it and I have found it very useful.
That is all it is.
I've owned this for about a year and it's handy for putting in mirrors and large pictures, but now mine is out of level.
