Gifts for the Do-It-Yourself Guy or Gal

Black and Decker have two high tech laser tools that take the guesswork out of hanging stuff on your walls. Its 4-n-1 BullsEye Auto-Leveling Laser with Sensor features a laser beam leveler that allows you to accurately line up (up to 10 feet) pictures, shelves, even cabinets and tile. But that’s not all, to prevent unwanted holes the BullsEye’s built-in sensor detects wood studs, metal and electrical wires behind the wall.

The Black and Decker Crossfire is the only one in the world that automatically finds and sets a level line without any manual adjustments. The Crossfire emits level lines to take the guesswork out of getting your projects straight and level whether you are installing picture frame moldings or window boxes on adjacent walls, hanging pictures or laying tile. The Crossfire eliminates the need for chalk lines, carpenter levels or straight edges to create and mark a straight line. The Crossfire hangs on a screw or rests on an innovative wall-mount system that attaches to the wall with small pushpins. A rack and pinion micro-adjust feature allows you to scroll your horizontal line up and down to get your line precisely within your project area. The wall-mount system is also a base that can be set on tabletops, workbenches or the floor. The Crossfire also fits onto a tripod (sold separately) or can be hung from the ceiling. The 4-n-1 Laser Level is available for $70, the Crossfire, $99. www.blackanddecker.com
