Bath Large Towel Hooks

Brilliant, does the job

I bought two packs of these hooks last year to hang bathroom and kitchen towels on them and they are still firmly stuck to tiled walls. Before fitting them I wiped the tiles with rubbing alcohol to clean off any dirt or grease. I've now bought a third pack. They are very easy to fit and I think they look nice. Good value.

Easy to fit on to wall ideal for picture frames

I use these to hold my rabbits' hat bag on the wall. I'm so impressed because the rabbits pull on the bag so hard, plus they stand up and put their paws on it. I really did not expect them to stay up! Been up for weeks now and are regularly tested by my bunnies.

The 3M Command range, originally only of hooks in a few sizes, was intended initially to be used in 'dry' environments for use as coat hooks, for towels, bath robes etc but not necessarily where the product may be affected by steam or moisture. Although I have used several of the identical hook and also the smaller version, and they have survived for several years of constant use although a few have needed to be replaced eventually, I was not aware of the existence of the 'waterproof' version. The difference exists only in the nature of the strips used and not anywhere else. The hook appears to be appears to be a single moulding but is an assembly of the hook mounted on a back-plane. If, when installed on a surface you firmly push upwards on the hook, it will lift from the back-plane and expose a pull tab. Pulling on that tab will stretch it and break the seal. The principle is simple; the strips allow semi-permanent installation of one or several hooks which may be removed and re-used, if needed to be relocated, removed or possibly upgraded. The hook can be re-used if the non-reusable strip is replaced, either with the spare normally provided or if you buy a pack of spare strips which are available in several sizes. Proper preparation of the surface to which the hook is to be attached is essential and, if the instructions are correctly followed and especially in relation to the differently coloured sides, the hook should be usable for several years. I have some other products with non water-resistant strips that have been in continuous use in a location for several years and I have not yet had the indignity of one falling off either almost immediately after installion or ever. I have experienced a couple of breakages but only if accidentally overloaded, in one instance with an over-wet towel when several in succession were safely held for years both dry and mildly damp or when the material ages and yellows. Especially useful in the bathroom, shower or laundry room although I have experienced success with the standard 'non-waterproof' version used in the bathroom, when I did not have the option to use this version. They can be attached to tiles, glass (especially the thick and strengthened type used in showers), metal and painted or laquered wood and several other smooth surfaces. When correctly installed, they should never fall off and I have never yet experienced that happening with more than 20 having been used over time. In any event, the adhesive used with these feels far tackier than is 'normal'.

These hooks work well but read the instructions.

Ive been using command products for quite a long time to prevent making holes in walls as I rent. Im not really sure the cost of command products justifies this though if Im honest. The instructions on the back are so tiny as to be unreadable without a magnifying glass, not good if you haven't used Command before. I made a mustake too: the dish is quite large so I placed my shampoo bar on it as well as my regular soap. It came crashing down during the night after the first shower. This surprised me as the strips are normally very strong, but ok lesson learned. Make sure you get it right the first time you attach it to your tiles too! You only get one set of strips so if you make a mistake you have to buy more strips which are over half the cost if the dish, as I found out after my 'soap mistake' making the whole thing more expensive still. Second time round all seems good after a month or so of use. It looks nice too imo.

Good larger size plastic hooks ..I use on the back of my door to hand coat up ..but after a while the stick tape clue becomes loose and it falls off.
