Review on Black Decker BDSL10 36 Inch Gecko by Kory Shelton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

husband is back!

I bought this for my husband last Christmas when he indicated he needed a leveling up as his "grey hair was starting to show". LAUGH OUT LOUD! I followed the lead and bought this one after reading the reviews and also because of the trusted Black & Decker name. husband loves it! He no longer complains when I ask him to put up a picture or a shelf. He commented on how well calibrated it is. He loves the Accu-Mark feature. Makes hanging easy with easy to move targets and the markings on the wall rails are great too. His favorite feature is the Gecko Grips on each end. I usually help and suggest other hands on home projects, but with this level and its grips it can be a one man show - easy to mark and hang up with just the slightest pressure to activate the grips. Best of all, the pens help the level not smudge my paint! I also like this level because I can use it too. I've had surgery on both shoulders and am limited in how much I can lift and how far I can get away from my body. This level is so easy (compared to others on the market) that I used it myself.
