    Buy a spirit level too.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You can tape it to the top of the picture frame!

    Some drill sets have a small one included.

    If it's a cheap level check it one way and then reverse it to make sure it gives the same reading.

    Another point I forget to mention is that if pictures are close to something that runs out of level, such as the ceiling/wall junction, it can make the pictures look out of level even if they are perfect.

    considering this is going to be used a small amount of times.
    For  a small amount of times a corded tool will be much cheaper. Batteries are very expensive.




    Excellent corded version once i understood keyless chuk, has been used to remove two unrequired long screws from wall.
    Simple and amazing speed.

    No idea how on/off switch works no12 underneath Speed Dial 13 as per guide.
    I can only plug and unplug from power for time being.
