[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these in the kids rooms for lightweight items. They work and are easy to install. The only problems I ever have with them is when one of my kids tries to hang something heavy like a gym bag. These are made for lightweight items.
Bought these to hang lightweight garland. The entire strand weighed less than 2 lbs. and I used 3 hooks per strand. Had to constantly redo them to get through Christmas. It seems that me there is not enough surface area on the hook to adhere to the strip. Would not recommend these to anyone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great until you go to take it off the wall and then it tears the paint right off. When you try to pull the tab to remove the hooks, it just breaks off. I will NEVER be buying these again! Ruined my wall!

I have been using various Command products for many years - and have been generally quite happy about them. However, this product (or maybe the box I purchased) is very defective. Two defects: (1) Out of 6 hooks in the box, 3 broke after using for 6 months. (2) I bought a replacement set, but this time I went for the Designer Hooks (17081-8ES), as they seemed sturdier. However, while removing the old Utility hooks, the strip tore for two of them. Now there is nothing to pull. If I try to remove the old mounting bases forcefully, they will take away the paint from the wall (it did so when I tried in one).
This is very disappointing quality from 3M.

I bought two packs of the medium utility hooks for use in the shower initially. Instead, I hooked one to a utility tub to connect a dog lead to when not in use. It has far exceeded my expectations in strength. My boys tug on it, using their paws. One tried to eat it. The hook won. I hung the other on the wall next to the door trim to hang a couple leashes. One is a heavy duty double handle, the other a six foot standard. I'm impressed both could fit on the hook. I am a believer.
They rip off the paint right down to the primer when you remove them. Total garbage I wish I had never heard of these things, what a fiasco!!!
