[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought several of these large hooks to hang large kitchen utensils in my kitchen and shopping bags in my foyer. I did not want to damage my walls but I wanted something that could hold some weight. These hooks have worked wonderfully.
Recently the wife asked me to hang a Christmas wreath by drilling a hole in our siding and nail in a hook. Not wanting to drill my siding, I recalled the recent MC Hammer commercial for Command hooks. I really wasn't expecting much, as I just wanted the wreath project to go away without drilling my siding. I purchased these hooks and followed the simple instructions to the letter and hung the wreath. I don't think these particular hooks are even meant for outdoor use, but again, I was just looking to get it done. It has been three weeks now in the Buffalo, NY winter with freezing temperatures and gusting winds. My wife has even taken one of the hooks (it was a value-pak you know) and hung a series of three connected wreaths to our front door, which is glass. All are still hanging. Unbelievable.
Installed on a (new plaster) wall in a rental property. Removed, as per instructions, before leaving property and a silver dollar sized piece of plaster + paint came off the wall. Too late for us to attempt repair; owner charged us $125 to repair. (This was not the first time we used the product, so we know how to remove it correctly.)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've lost track how many years ago I bought these and they are still holding strong...in my shower! They have held as much as our toiletries rack (multiple shampoos, soap bottles, etc. on it) and never fallen off the wall. And as little as a washcloth. They far surpassed my expectations and made me a loyal fan of Command Products!
I bought several of these to distribute the weight of a 9' Christmas garland draped over a kitchen doorway. I carefully followed the instructions for both application and removal. Upon removal (and yes, I followed instructions to the letter), these removed the paint and damaged the underlying plaster. Once this damage is repaired I will never use these again...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
