Product Description

Amazon.com

The 3-in-1 level accommodates projects of many sizes and dimensions.

The 9-inch torpedo level has a built-in stud sensor to help you pinpoint just the right spot for hanging heavier items like shelves or large pictures.

The smaller level with the integrated stud sensor stores easily inside the larger tool.

The 3-in-1 Level from Black & Decker: Because One Size Doesn't Fit All

Black & Decker's 24-inch 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.

But there’s more to this model than meets the eye. The BDSL30 is three tools in one: a 24-inch standard level, a 9-inch torpedo level, and a stud sensor. You'll get all this in 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.

The BDSL30 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 BDSL30 also features a 9-inch level that conveniently stores inside the larger level; and within this smaller device is an integrated stud sensor to help you pin down the best places to anchor your wall hangings. The 3-in-1 even has rubber end caps to protect the tool from the bumps, scrapes, and scratches that might otherwise come with repeated use.

Key Technical Specs:

• Rubber end caps
• 24 inches long

I may have to re-hang pictures and shelves with this handy gadget to correct all the lopsided work I've done over the years. The Gecko Grip appears to be very nicely made, and feels sturdy. The grips slip just a bit but still is better than my old level. The stud finder is much less complicated than an expensive one I have, plus it's tucked away in the level for easy access. All in all I am very satisfied with Gecko Grip.

This review is from: Black & Decker BDSL30 24-Inch 3-in-1 Gecko Grip Level (Tools & Home Improvement)

This level is two levels, a standard 2FT level and a standard 9" toolbox Torpedo level, in one compact package. The Torpedo level has an electronic stud finder in it that works easily and quite nicely. It slides in or out of one end of the 2FT level.

The 2FT level has non-slip rubber pads at each end to help it grip your wall once you have positioned and level the level on a wall. It has spring loaded slippery hard pads to ride on the wall without marking or marring it while you are positioning and leveling the level on the wall.

This is an accurate and compact handy level to have in your home for various projects such as mounting pictures, shelves, leveling appliances, curtain rods etc. The Stud Finder will find a stud to hang heavy pictures or shelves.

Very sturdy and well designed professional looking product. Highly recommend.

This review is from: Black & Decker BDSL30 24-Inch 3-in-1 Gecko Grip Level (Tools & Home Improvement)

A level is an essential tool for many household projects and this 24" model from Black and Decker is a solid choice. It's long enough so that you can feel you're getting a good read on drapery rods or other items that may be fairly big, yet it's small enough that it isn't too unwieldy. Better still, it contains a pull out 9" level if you need a quick read on something small. Also included is a stud finder. This is a particularly thoughtful addition since stud finders and levels will very often be used in the same projects. Is it the finest stud finder on the market? No. But it does a solid job and helps add definite value to the purchase of this product. Finally, the rubber pads are a big help in holding the level steady against most surfaces and this can be a big help from time to time.

This is an easy product to recommend. It's solidly built and includes not only a very good level, but a serviceable stud finder. It's not going to impress many professional contractors, but is perfect for do it yourself projects around the house.
