Large Utility Hooks

I needed a renter friendly hook that would be versatile. I have found it with the large utility command hooks. I used 3 of these to span the length I needed to hang curtains. One at each end and another in the middle to support the 84” length. These are large enough they can accommodate a 7/8” curtain rod without a big end cap and a rod pocket style curtain. I’ve seen other reviews saying these hooks do not stick. I haven’t found this to be the case. You must follow the instructions exactly as written. 1. Confirm the hook type, size and weight capacity. 2. Preparation of the area: Wipe the wall or surface with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. Microfiber works well since it doesn’t leave fibers behind. Do an area twice the size intended for the hook placement. Let dry. 3. Place the adhesive strip to the hook. Note: There are two sides. The red side is for the hook. Remove the red liner and press the adhesive to the hook for 10 seconds to 15 seconds. 4. Remove the black liner and press the hook to the wall for 10 to 15 seconds. 15 seconds seems adequate. The 5 additional seconds does make a difference. 5. Temporarily remove the hook from the wall by lifting straight up. The adhesive part of the hook will remain. Press the adhesive part of the hook firmly for 30 seconds. Slide the hook back on. 6. Wait 1 hour for the adhesive to securely bond to the wall. Repeat, wait 1 hour. Don’t get in a rush. Don’t skip a step. The instructions are written for a reason. To remove the hook: Slide the hook off by lifting straight up so the adhesive part remains. Gently hold the base and pull the tab straight down. Do not pull away or out from the wall. It will break. Should the tab break use some waxed dental floss and start at the top and gently ease it down against the wall to release the adhesive from the wall or surface. Command Hooks have been a life saver for a renter where the landlord has said no nails, screws or anything that puts a hole in the wall, door, cabinet. Or other adhesives that damage a surface. I have found them to be quite versatile for a variety of uses whether using the small hooks or large ones. They’re not the most attractive item to use but I have seen more colors being added to the Command Hook line up. They’re are a bit expensive but in comparison to having to pay for repairs from nail damage or other adhesive products that strip the paint Command Hooks are worth the cost. They are surprisingly strong for something made of plastic. However, remember they are plastic and while they are long lasting they will at some point need replaced. I will continue to buy and use Command Hook products.

These Command Large Utility Hooks are perfect for holding up to 5 lbs without damaging walls. I’ve used them for holiday décor, classroom supplies, and even heavier items around the house. They stick securely, remove cleanly, and make organizing so much easier. A simple, affordable solution for anyone who wants sturdy hooks without nails or screws!

They are great however I made a mistake. I bought one that was low in weight. Make sure you look at the weight. I bought a 5 pound weight. I did not work for me. My daughter then gave me a 10 pound weight and they work fabulous. Just be aware of the weight and what you are going to hang on it. Other than that, I love them. They are fabulous.

I have found Command hooks to be extremely useful in my kitchen where I use various types of Command products to hang pot holders, a poster that blocks my circuit breaker box, shopping tote bags, and a much needed step ladder. They are a very inexpensive DIY design-hack. The plastic hooks like these do wear out over time. So after about 2 years one of the hooks holding my step ladder snapped. That's not a slam on the product. It's good long life for a hook that gets used all the time! I was able to easily replace it with a new hook. I had to remove the old sticky strip which took patience. I used a hair blower for more than a minute to warm up the glue and was able to slowly work it off without leaving a mark. I cleaned and prepped the wall with alcohol and then put the new hook on and voila -- perfect storage for my step ladder! My only critique is that while sometimes the hooks wear out especially if you are using them to prop heavy items and keep them in place, I wish I could have bought one or two hooks in a package as I dislike storing stuff, and I may not need another hook for a good long while.

I’ve repurchased these Command Utility Hooks multiple times because they’re really handy and durable. I used this hook to hang two 36-inch Christmas wreath outside for a month and a half in a very windy place, and it held the weight well and remained completely stable without moving. They’re also easy to remove when needed. The only downside is the price, which is a bit high, but compared to cheaper brands, these hooks are actually more cost-effective and much easier to use. They work perfectly for hanging items on walls and sticking securely. I will definitely repurchase, although I might try metal hooks in the future. I just hope the price comes down a bit, then it would be perfect. Pros: • Durable and reliable • Holds heavy items securely • Stable even in windy conditions • Easy to remove without damage • More cost-effective than cheaper brands • Simple and convenient to use Cons: • Price is relatively high

Half of the strips in this package won’t stick. Haven’t asked for a replacement but may.

They took work really well. I hung a reef on my door with them. I also use them around my house for other things. I like the fact that they don’t damage the wall when I get ready to take them off.

OK, I will not lie to you, I spent years saying that I would never use 3M hooks again because on those occasions when they would fall off the walls, it would always be in the middle of the night, and I would always awaken, terrified, wondering what the loud noise was and where it was coming from. I eventually came to the realization that you need to purchase the appropriate three him hook for the type of weight that it will hold. I know, not exactly brain surgery but, well, you live you learn! It’s a wonderful product and I have a hook behind my front door for my tote bag and a hook next to my front door for my keys and another hook for my purse and another hook for my Wi-Fi speaker and another hook for a bottle of spray alcohol next to the front door for people shoes, I’m pretty sure you get the picture. These hooks are for a little bit more weight than what the average 3M hook is designed for and that’s what makes them great. I also have a few holding up each of my stretch canvas prints. If you think that I should do a commercial for 3M, you are so right! Lol
