Yes, the name sounds like something you’d see being sold on TV in the middle of the night, but the Hang-O-Matic looks like a useful tool if you have a lot of pictures or artwork to hang. It has a built-in metal tape that measures up to 6 feet, and there’s a sliding bubble level attached to the tape. There are also two sliding anchors on the tape that measure the distance between two holes or hooks on the back of any item, and they can then make a couple of dimples on the wall to show where you need to place the picture hangers. And of course the level makes sure that your picture will hang straight once it’s on the wall.

I’m always inspired by the ingenious creativity of some of the women entrepreneurs out there who created products and services because they couldn’t find what they needed in the market place.
Hanging drawings, paintings or photography can be an art form unto itself. Lining frames up, mounting them evenly, and keeping the tops level can require multiple tools and lots of patience.
There are quite a few gadgets that help you hang pictures… But the Hang-o-matic is one of the newest, smallest and most inexpensive that I’ve seen.
Rabin’s invention is simplicity itself. Use the Hang-O-Matic to measure the distance between the two hanging points on the back of an item (a picture, flat-screen TV, shelves or other wall decor)
