Hang & Level - How to hang a picture without arguments or irritation
A brilliant invention from Canadian decorator Liette Tousignant. --->
I first heard about this tool from alert reader Wayne Thurston:
Mag, I recently came across the most invaluable tool
for picture hanging. I spent almost 20 years selling,
instructing and consulting to the picture frame
industry and, now in retirement, have finally found
the best. You can view it on the company website
(western Canada) It's wonderfully called, "Hang &
Level", and as advertised, "Marks EXACTLY where the
nail goes". Check it out, I use it and it's the closest to perfect I
have found. Wish I had invented it.
I've had huge fun with this tool since I took Wayne's advice and got mine at Canadian Tire ($19.99). The Hang & Level enables you to effortlessly hang pictures, photos and art objects in a fraction of the time it used to take. You don't need pencils, measuring tapes or swear words.
To use the Hang & Level, choose the object you want to
mount. Hang it on the perky little hook (or the double hooks for heavier objects)
on the front of the Hang & Level tool, then hold the tool against the
wall. Raise it to the height that feels right. Then, lift the artwork off the tool and push a small ‘button’. The button, carries a sharp metal spike, which
presses a beautiful little divot into the wall surface, marking the precise spot where
the nail should go. No pencils, no measuring, no name
calling.
