Great Starter Tool Kit

Since moving into our new house last fall, I haven't hung as many pictures as I would like. So receiving this free
Mastercraft General Tool Set & Picture Hanging Kit gives me the perfect reason to get those hung up now. 😀👍

The 7 piece kit comes with everything needed to hang any type of wall picture, right down to a small carrying case with an external pocket to hold everything included, and more.

The weight of the hammer was appropriate & proportionate to the size of the hammer head. This hammer may not be well intended for larger hands. I asked my husband to hang the picture, & he struggled with it as the handle was just too short, but for my smaller hands it worked just fine. 🔨

The carpenters pencils that were included, were an odd choice, a thick rounded pencil would have been a better choice. Using the pencil sharpener with these pencils was quite awkward, & I found it wasted a lot of the pencil. ✏️

The kit came with two different levels. One of which can be rotated for different angles, but I'm not sure when I would ever have a need for this specific type. They were also both magnetic, which is both good & bad; good that you can stick it to a fridge or similar for easy access, but also bad as the magnets got stuck to everything metal nearby. 📏

The hardware pack includes nails, screws, wall hooks, wire & drywall plugs. The first nail we used, bent immediately, so perhaps not the strongest nails, but can be replaced with others you may have on hand. This kit makes the assumption that someone already has a drill & drillbits on hand, so it's more of an addition to what sets you already have rather than an all-in-one set.

My overall opinion of this set is that it's great for small hanging jobs around the house where you just need a few small tools on hand. I only wish it also included a small measuring tape, as that felt like the one thing missing. The carrying bag makes it quite easy to move around, so it would be a nice set for someone starting out on their own, or for a small space. I've left it in my office closet where I can easily access it whenever I need to hang another picture.

No pictures? No problem!

No pictures? No problem! This picture frame hanging kit from Mastercraft is not only good for hanging picture frames but great from wall baskets for my plants !!!! Obsessed is an understatement! Not to mention that it came with a stud finder, pencils, pencil sharpener, leveler, hammer and some essentials to hang! It also came with a nice little storage bag perfect for an apartment with low storage!!! Thank you Canadian Tire !!!

Nice!

Really nice set! Have all that is needed for small home repairs/projects. I would really recommend this kit and would definitely buy it for my home projects.

Made hanging some frames easy!

Received this for free for my review: This kit came with everything I needed to hang up a few frames around the house! The carrying bag is definitely a big plus, lets you keep all the parts together. The carpenter pencils and sharpener are a nice touch. The magnetic stuff finder is great, only downside of it is the middle level part can easily pop out, but just as easily pops back in, just gotta be mindful of that. One of the screws in my kit was missing its head but there are more than enough screws and nails that it was no big deal. Will definitely be utilizing all parts of this kit for future projects

Complete picture-hanging kit

I like that this Mastercraft picture hanging kit has everything that you need to hang any picture frame up on a wall:
- Stubby hammer
- Two pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- Magnetic stud finder
- Mini level
- Box of hardware:
- Picture-hanging hardware (94 pieces)
- Wall anchor hardware (56 pieces)
- Carrying bag

The carrying bag is great. I can separate the pencils and sharpener from the rest of the items.

The magnetic stud finder has strong magnets. It works effectively to find studs in the wall. It also loves attaching to the mini level that also has a convenient magnet. Both have levels.

The mini level is awesome, as it can balance on top of your picture frame. It measures both vertically and horizontally. It's easy to read, which is great in a mini.

The pencils come in handy. The sharpener was effective.

There is a lot of hardware to hang your picture frames and anchor them to your walls. If you are fairly experienced hanging picture frames, you'll be fine. However, if you're a novice, this kit doesn't comes with a how-to leaflet on hanging picture frames. It would be nice if it did as a reference for everyone. Otherwise, you need to do some side research and learning beforehand.

The stubby hammer is awesome. It's comfortable to grip and it's got a decent weight to hammer. I like that it's smaller for picture-hanging tasks. You don't need a full-sized hammer!

This kit came in handy. I got to put up some original artwork in picture frames from two special people. ☺️

Thanks for the opportunity to flex my framing skills and use this fine kit.

I liked it!

I received this kit for free for my honest opinion and it's a positive one: I really liked it! This kit contains all you need for a little project in a nice smaller size, but still easy to handle and use. I found it to be good quality, strong, not too heavy and efficient, with a nice strong bag to get everything in and losing nothing. We installed an holder for my gardening tools in our garage with it, using many items of the kit to be sure it was strongly installed and levelled. The hammer is surprisingly easy to handle, even for bigger hands and the level is easy to read and the stud finder too. The pencil was good, but I wasn't a big fan of the sharpener: it works, but it takes some time to have a sharpened pencil, like it's not that sharp, cutting into it. But, it's not the end of the world either. The hardware box is great, hold well closed and contains good stuff. The kit in itself would be awesome as a starter for students in my opinion for little work that needs to be done and having something quality to do it. I don't remember many kits like this particular one, but if I have to compare to one I know of, this one is better, having more choices of screws and such and levels to use and I don't remember a carry bag, so it's an other plus to it.

I would recommend it 110% for sure! Nice kit, nice quality, everything nice! Don't think twice about getting one for you or as a gift.

Most Useful Kit Ever!

The Mastercraft Home Repair Essentials kit was perfect for my projects. The hammer, screwdriver, and driver bits made assembling my new bed quick and easy, and the level, measuring tools, and wrench helped me hang a curtain rod straight and securely. The pliers, utility knife, and fasteners were handy extras. Everything felt sturdy, organized, and reliable for everyday home repairs.

A handy set needed at home

I received a Mastercraft Picture Hanging Set from Butterly. The kit comes with some hardwares and tools that we need to complete a few small jobs at home. Since we moved to a new home, we have some pictures needed to hang up on the wall. The kit makes it easy to hang or mount anything on the wall. A carry bag also helps keep everything in one place. Another benefit is we don't need to shop everything individually, this kit is sufficient for our need. Overall, we were able to hang up a few pictures effortlessly without making any mess on the walls. This is a great, practical set to have at home, we like this product!

I received this product for free from Butterly for testing and review purposes.

A simple handy must have

I was chosen to try the Mastercraft General Tool Set and Picture Hanging Kit for free, and it couldn’t have come at a better time! We’re in the middle of upgrading our kids’ rooms and hanging up new pictures, so it was perfect. We were able to hang up a ton of pictures effortlessly without making a huge mess on the walls. We even used the stud finder to hang up some shelves we had laying around.

I love that it comes with a convenient carry bag to keep everything organized together. It includes a wide variety of hardware options, making it easy to hang pictures or mount just about anything you need on your walls.

I really liked that the pencil sharpener fits those odd-shaped carpenter pencils you find at hardware stores. The hammer has a nice weight to it and feels sturdy, not cheaply made at all. The magnets on both the stud finder and the level are quite strong, which made the job easier. The only small issue I noticed was with the mini level, the middle black piece occasionally pops out if it fits a surface a bit roughly, but it snaps back in easily and doesn’t affect usability.


It's really comparable to other products we have used in the past. The nice thing about this is you don't have to buy the items separately and there's different hardware depending on how you want to hang the pictures up. The quality holds up to other brands that also produce hardware for hanging pictures.

Overall, this is a great, practical set to have on hand, especially for simple home projects.

Goldilocks Kit!

Everything in this kit is “just right” for when you need to hang some pictures, like we did, and more!

This is the real Goldilocks kit. Lots of options for picture hanging, and 2 incredible mini MAGNETIC levels! The magnets make them harder to lose!

The hammer is just the right size for small jobs like this. Definitely easier than using our larger hammer and larger levels.

The sharpener for the pencils is a great added touch!

The carrying case is perfect - room for everything included and any extras you may have!
