Gecko Grip pads help hold the level against the wall -- even when you're working one-handed. | 
The adjustable Accu Mark targets line up easily against the backs of pictures or shelves that have preset marks or hang tabs. | 
Once you've established your Accu Mark targets, set the level against the wall and transfer their position with a pencil. | The Accu Mark Level -- For All Your Leveling Needs Black & Decker's 36-inch Accu Mark level is designed to perform any basic leveling job with ease. Now you can hang pictures, shelves, decorative items and much more with all the precision of a professional -- and none of the guessing and re-guessing that damages walls with repeated drilling or nailing. The BDSL10 is a lightweight, handy home device that's packed with the high-grade durability and convenience features you expect from an industry leader like Black & Decker. This model boasts advanced Gecko Grip friction pads to help keep the level steady under pressure. These pads do such a great job of preventing slippage that you can even hold the level with one hand and mark the wall with your other one. But don't worry -- these grabbing nubs won't leave a scuff, so even the lightest paint is safe. In addition to the Gecko Grips, the BDSL10 also features two adjustable Accu Mark targets that slide along the center rail. These marks help you hang pictures and shelves with built-in wall mounts or preset hang holes; just line up the marks with the mounts on the back of your pictures, then place the level against the wall and note the spots with a pencil. Using this technique, it's a cinch to hang heavy mirrors and large portraits, long shelves and big paintings. Key Technical Specs:
- Rubber end caps
- 36 inches long
- 2 adjustable Accu Mark targets
- Non-slip Gecko Grip pads

finally a great tool November 17, 2009 Masterautosupply (ILLINOIS) i love it ,finally can draw a straight line to hang an item on the wall,works great. highly recomended WOW!thanks.
worst level I've ever had November 15, 2009 W. Richards (Albion, MI United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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. When I checked the level it was off by a good 1/4" from level and 3/16" from plumb. Based on my results I wouldn't recommend any Black & Decker level.
Despite the gimmicks, it is a fine level September 10, 2009 David T. Woodhead (Reston, VA USA) 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. 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 makes complete sense when you think about it and I have found it very useful. 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. I found the system enabled me to quickly and accurately hang pictures, towel bars ... the list goes on.
Gecko Grip:
The level has rubber on the mark to stop it slipping. That is all it is. 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. 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.
Handy, but out of level August 21, 2009 N. Shasserre 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Awesome level May 8, 2009 Redjr This level is worth the cost for more tasks than advertised. The grip alone is worth the cost. The level doesn't slip when holding with one hand and is very accurate. I recently installed shelving on concrete walls that measured 6 feet in length. I used the level to line up the brackets before drilling. Before I started drilling into concrete I measured for spacing then used the level to mark each hole and to make sure the line was level. The shelves came out perfectly level and I didn't even have to use the targets. I never had a problem with slippage, so when I had to use one hand to grab a pencil or tool the hold was right where I set it. So, this level is very reliable and can be used for any task.
