Yet Another Fantastic Time Saving Tool!

Anyone Wanting to Hang a Picture Fast and Easy? Once again, the discussion group I am involved in Linked In got me thinking. So, after just a little searching I found this video on YouTube. Well, I couldn't keep it to myself of course, so if you want to see the simplest way there is to hang a picture. Bare with the beginning of this video and watch it all the way through. I made my own tool out of a large paint stick and a screw. Since I have plenty of paint sticks and a lot of "loose screws" around, it was free and easy!

So,... watch and learn!

Thanks Emily, I love any tool that makes our instillation's go quicker and easier. Especially if they help illuminate damage to walls!

Well, you can either order one of these cool items for $19.95, but wait MIMI, there is more,... if you order int he next five minutes you will receive two! But wait, for only,.... hee hee hee, just kidding. If you do order one, let me know how this handy dandy tool works. Otherwise,... I'm keeping my paint stick with the screw in it! LOL!

I have seen the paint stick and screw thing before but never got around to making one. Maybe I should just spend the $19.95.

Laura -- I have a similar hanging tool in my staging toolbag, but funny enough I always end up using my eyeballs, and they do a pretty darn good job LOL :-)

Ha ha, Maureen, I can about imagine at this point of the game you just fly around the homes and really don't mess around too much with all these handy dandy tools! Experience trumps tools most of the time.

You are just the source! Love it, love it....... I hate hanging framed art, and generally resort to using easels so that I don't have to face the issue! The suggest button can't be big enough on this post!

Why thank you Tom! You are a sweetheart. I noticed you use easels! I thought that was just another Tom Scanlon Signature item! I just use the paint stick with a screw and it works like a charm. You know how tough it is to hang all those different wires and brackets. This helps a LOT!

Laura--okay, I want one, too. I am usually hanging pretty large pieces of art, so this makes it look so simple and straightforward. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

Good to hear Nicola! I was hoping it actually worked as well as it looks. I am thinking I may have to replace my painters stick with the screw in it one of these days soon.
