[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When 3M asked me to try these out it was the holiday season and I was excited to try these instead of the clips I normally use. But, I didn't receive these until February. And since I needed to review them, I needed to find something to use them for. What did I find? Power cords! I have a mess behind the entertainment center of cords and cables that have somehow resisted other attempts to organize them. I have hung up 4 so far, following the directions of cleaning with alcohol and pressing and waiting. So far only one didn't want to stay up, so I have have had a 75% success rating. Since I had one fall I am reluctant to remove and replace cords often, like when I unplug and re-plug something in, but it seems to hold things in place pretty well. So if have some left over after the holidays and have some cords getting in your way, these are a great way to clear up the clutter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A couple of years ago before 3M offered the Command Light Clips, I purchased just the regular clips and mounted them around the front door to hand Christmas lights. Well, two holidays later, and they are still hanging on! This is surviving the harsh Western New York winter weather! Plus they make hanging Christmas lights a snap! I leave them up all year round, and they are barely noticeable. I also received a free sample from 3M of the Light Clips, and they work as great as the original.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These clips were a free sample. They work very well on the vinyl siding to hold the electrical wires used for yard inflatables and lights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The actual clear light clips for hanging Christmas tree lights outside are great and I've found different uses indoors for them. I hung one at the bottom of a wall to hold a power cord in place. I have another one attached to my TV holding a cord in place making my entertainment center less messy. With these projects however, I did NOT use the tape that was included. The tape included is white and I needed clear tape, which I was able to get at a home improvement store, since it does not need to be in extreme temperatures. I'm hesitant to hang the clips outside first because I have colored trim and the white tape will stand out and look funny. Second, because the package says not to put the tape on rough surfaces, like brick, cement board or rough sawn wood. If I don't put the tape on the trim, it would be on the rough clapboard and I'm not sure I want that. So I'm sticking with indoor uses for now!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these from 3M for free in return for my honest review. I decided to try these for hanging the runners on an Ivy I have. They worked great hanging strong still after 3 weeks in the bathroom humidity. Not sure how they would work for lights though, too loose.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light clips came in handy for the extension cord to my outdoor lantern. I was unable to use it until I could protect the cord from our sprinkler system. This free Command product to evaluate is double good (free and usefull)! Thank you.
