Review: "This Keyhole Companion Marking Tool Set is an absolute game-changer for my IT work and any mounting tasks. It's a must-have tool for IT professionals and anyone needing to mount things to a wall. Highly recommended!" - ADAM H CLEARY
Here’s my ‘hack’ for this situation. Place piece of paper on the item you are hoping to hang. Rub pencil / crayon over the key holes, y’know like a brass rubbing from when you were a kid. Transfer paper to wall, use a tape measure and / or spirit level to ensure it is straight. Drill holes at the top of the keyhole marks you’ve rubbed onto the paper. Job jobbed. Send me your $24.95.
