This is a handy gadget - and that's on the level!

Hanging pictures or book shelves drive you crazy as you try to make sure they’re absolutely level?  (Say “yes!”) Well Black & Decker’s BDL100AV all-in-one SureGrip laser level can help make that chore really easy. Now you can hang items straight without leaving smudges from writing utensils. The SureGrip features a rubber suction cup with silicone ring for easy attachment to most nonporous surfaces. It’s a two-part device. A magnet lets you flip the laser line left or right, projecting a clean and clearly visible line use to hang items. The integrated vial automatically changes color from red (not level) to green (level). There’s an optional audio signal alert great when you need to know something is level, but the device is out of view. (Like when you’re trying to level a washing or a table and you’re down below.) A large switch let you choose the level along, or the level and the laser line. If you need to use a pushpin for extra support of the device, there is one provided and it locks into the back of the SureGrip laser level. Although the MSRP is about $45 you can find it online for much less.
