Super Legit on Measuring & Layout Tools

I received this product through the Amazon Vine program, full disclosure. this thing. It works. Really good. I have a Milwaukee level that was kind of on the right track but takes it a step further by actually putting a nail in the design. This is limited by the size of nail used, but it will be adequate for almost anything the homeowner is going to hang. The bubble level looks just like the listing and is essentially a piece of flat metal with two pistons used to drive a nail into drywall. You simply stick a nail in each hole, carefully level it where you want it, then pound each side down. In fact, you don't even have to clap them - I was able to insert 2 of the included pins with a simple squeeze. A child could sleep next to me and not know anything. In the middle of the level is the standard build/quality bubble itself and the magnetic nail holder. Not sure if the lid will hold up as it feels cheap and is held in place by two tabs that can easily break. However, the magnet is strong enough to hold half a dozen nails with no problem, so I wouldn't put too much stock in a bad lid design. It will work fine without it. In fact, when I'm on a ladder, I take it off first, so there's one less problem at 6 feet off the ground. This is a great tool to buy. The quality is there, the functionality is there, the price is reasonable.

Pros
  • Comes with 12 #17 nails (pins)
Cons
