This setup is very nice and super easy to use. Sure takes the guess work as to where your screws need to be located.

So buy this. Play around with it. You'll discover that it's ingenious. Make mounting stuff - power strips, range hoods, pictures, etc. Anything with those keyhole hangers. Works like a champ.

Some pro tips:
Know what to be gentle with and what needs manhandling. Taking off the ink caps requires a little aggression. Nothing crazy, but it is an affirmative action. You really can't break anything doing that.
Be gentle but firm in cinching up the mount into the keyhole (by turning the colored inkpads. They do double duty here). You can distort your keyhole if you crank down too hard on the ink cap.
Do be gentle when pressing he AccuMount to the surface to mark. It's basically like a rubber stamp. No need to bear down. Just a press will do. You can distort or otherwise mess up your AccuMount stamps if you overdo it here.

Use the white one for marking surfaces that are dark (wood, etc.) - so the contrast is made between your mark and the surface.

Make a job you used to hate something you look forward to!

4.0 out of 5 stars solid choice for hanging stuff up
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
The Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is really handy – it's great for quickly marking where to put those keyhole slots. It's like the perfect little helper for any DIY project. The only small issue I've found is that some picture frames have holes that are a bit too small for it. But other than that, it's pretty much spot on. I'd definitely give it four stars – it's not perfect, but it's still a solid choice for hanging stuff up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for IT boxes and Powerstrips.
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024
I bought these to speed up the installation of powerstrips and various boxes that are mounted in IT closets. It has greatly sped up installation time. Also if you get one of these kits, also purchase a box of “Bear Claw Gold” picture hanger screws. These screws are marketed for picture hanging but are perfect for those power strips that require the screw head to protrude from the wall to engage.

Picture this: you're a handy person who loves nothing more than hanging things around the house. Power strips, pictures, you name it – if it can be hung, you're all over it. But there's just one small problem... your aim isn't exactly what one would call "precise."

Enter the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set! This nifty little tool is designed to help you mark the perfect spot for your keyhole slot fasteners, ensuring that your hangings are straight, level, and exactly where you want them.

But be warned, my fellow handy-people: with great power comes great responsibility. And by "responsibility," I mean the potential for your wife to question your sanity when she discovers yet another hole in the wall.

"Honey, I thought we talked about this," she'll say, exasperation evident in her voice. "Why are there so many holes in the wall? It looks like we've been under attack by a gang of miniature drill-wielding maniacs!"

You'll try to explain that it's all part of the process, that the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is just helping you achieve hanging perfection. But she'll just shake her head and mutter something about "men and their toys."

So, if you're ready to take your hanging game to the next level (and potentially endure a few eye rolls from your significant other), then the Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is the tool for you! Just remember: with every perfectly marked keyhole slot, there's a chance you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

Happy hanging!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, horrible execution
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2022
This seemed like a great idea for hanging sawtooth pictures. As I was hanging several decorations I got this. Easy to understand how to use, but the problem is the screws used to hold the sawtooth are way too big. The head of the screws would not fit in the sawtooth holes. It would be a much better product if it contained a variety of screws for a variety of holes.

This little gadget makes it so much easier to hang anything with keyholes. Before this I would always try to stick screws in both of the keyholes and poke holes into the wall. The screws would fall out and 9 times out of 10, whatever I was hanging would end up being crooked. This has pressure that will keep the markers in the keyholes and makes 2 marks on the wall for perfect mounting everytime. Highly recommend this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where has this been all my life?
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020
I saw this mentioned in an article on a DIY site, and I decided to give it a shot.

I recently purchased a home, and I’ve got a ton of pictures and wall decor to hang up, and I’ve always hated how tedious the process of measuring and leveling and marking everything is while hanging pictures in the past. Well let me tell you - this is hands-down the best tool I’ve ever used for hanging pictures. For me, this is easier to use and gets better results than a handful of tools I’ve used in the past.

Granted it is somewhat pricy, I can honestly say that the amount of time and effort I’ve saved since I got this have more than made up for the price. The day I received it, I used it to hang 2 sconces perfectly level and even, and it only took about 5 minutes. Before, that would have taken at least half an hour and likely multiple attempts to get them level.

Since I got this, I’ve been singing it’s praises everywhere, and I can’t recommend it enough!
