These are supposed to be "better"?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to absolutely love getting and using these hooks. I used them all throughout college and NEVER had a problem. Until recently. I was given the value pack of clear hooks with the clear "sticky backing". I used the hooks to hang extremely light picture frames. The first thing I noticed about them was that the actual part you stick to the wall was not 100% tacky, the top part was not tacky. The second thing I noticed was how thin these were vs. the white ones. I hung them up on Sunday- following the directions as always- and last night for no reason one of the frames just fell right off the wall. The hook came down intact, with the sticky backing still on it. (I guess the good news is, it didn't pull the paint off the wall). But my frame broke and it made a mess on the floor. Then about an hour later 4 other frames fell down, all at once. Needless to say, all of the hooks are going back to the store... I get that people want the clear for aesthetic reasons; however, if you really want them to work, don't get the clear.

We appreciate the feedback and we are very sorry to hear of the difficulty you had with the products! While Command™ General Purpose or Clear Hook products are not intended for picture or frame hanging purposes, the Command™ Brand does offer an entire line of Picture and Frame Hanging products meant for these applications that you may view at the website, http://bit.ly/Z3qRvh These products can be easily distinguished while making product selection by viewing the label in the top left hand corner of the package. Products that can be used for hanging pictures will state "Picture and Frame Hanging," whereas the others will state "General Purpose," "Bath," etc. Please look for an email from us so that we can send a postage paid label to retrieve the product and exchange it for the recommended product for your application.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holds up really well. Have 2 sets of keys on it. Have been using your products for years. Will keep using them. Keep up the great job.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these to string some wires through in my baby's room before she arrived, when I tried to remove one by pulling the tab it ripped the paint right off the wall...very disappointed since I don't even have the paint to fix the wall anymore :(

Thank for posting your review. We are sorry to hear of the paint removal in your child's room. We expect our products to adhere securely until you decide to remove them, providing that the product was used according to instruction - removing them by pulling the tabs straight down. Please look for the email that we have sent to you so that we can provide a resolution for you. Thanks again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mini hooks are great for hanging small things like papers or shopping lists and the hooks don't take up the size of wall you would need for the bigger hooks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually have good results with the command products and have used the larger hooks without problem..however these small ones, after being applied as per instructions, did not hold up the small shadow boxes and picture frame I put on the wall..resulting in a "thud" one by one over a days time as they fell off! Luckily nothing was broken. I'm using nails now on my new painted walls that I didn't want to put nail holes in :(

We are sorry to hear of your experience with our product. Since you have used our products before, we want you to have a good experience using them. The Command™ General Purpose and Clear Hook products are not intended for picture or frame hanging, as the weight of the picture or frame is distributed too far away from the wall, rather than downward when hanging on this type of hook. Products that can be used for pictures will state "Picture and Frame Hanging," whereas the others will state "General Purpose” or "Bath.” We would be happy to send you some of our Command™ Picture Hanging Strips. Please look for our direct email to you so that we obtain your complete name and mailing address to send the product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these mini clear hooks for my keys and for a mini halogen flashlight so I have my keys and mini flashlight handy in an an emergency.... I always know where my keys are....I'm in the habit of putting them on these little hooks. I lined up three little hooks in a row in a corner of my kitchen, so they are neat and out of the way. I also used these hooks for curtain tiebacks! They work great for the curtains as well! And since they are clear, they are not distracting from the curtain! I still have some that are not in use and I am hoping to find more uses for them as time goes on. I also use the larger hooks for various things around my apt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the new clear window hooks from 3M. This is a wonderful product for hanging those stain glass decorative items in a window. They blend into the glass without detracting from the item it is holding.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As with all the Command products I have purchased, these hooks perform wonderfully, and now with the clear strips, they are truly invisible. Command is a company who really makes great innovative products and stands behind them, all the way.
Their picture hanging strips have been a real help to me. I was always having to mop my bathroom floor after using the shower due to the fact that my shower curtain would not stay close to the shower wall. I used the picture hanging strips on the shower curtain and on the shower wall. Now I attach and unattach the curtain when needed, No problem!
