This is about the third time I have been sucked into buying the Command Brand hangers, this time the idea was to use the "large hook" to hang a large but relatively light weight Christmas decoration. However, just as it has happened every other time, the hook fell off the wall minutes after my lovely wife hung the decoration. Assuming that, in the past, I had rushed the installation or otherwise did something wrong, this time I specifically made sure that I followed the instructions exactly and read all of the fine print before starting. No luck once again, and this is the LAST TIME I will ever purchase these hooks again. I advise anyone considering them to forget it. It isn't worth the frustration. It's a worthless product and a waste of money, in my experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had two of these that I used for hanging up my towel and sweatshirts. Today I tried to hang up my towel and the hook just broke! this isn't a five pound towel it's just a normal one I then went to hang up to dry on my other hook and that one broke too! withing 1 minute both of my command hooks broke. Not very happy with the breaking. They did last about 3 months though. I was hoping they would last a lot longer than that though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has followed the Command Product instructions to the letter and still the 5 pound command hooks she places on her dorm room wall will not stick.
I purchased several command hooks to hang curtains in my apartment because I didn't want to drill holes. I followed the directions in the package and hung up 3 large hooks. I even let them sit over night before hanging up the curtains. All seemed to be going well until a few hours later my curtains fell to the ground. I tried to reapply several new command strips to the hook and reapply to the wall but the same thing kept happening. After purchasing several packages of the hooks and a even more adhesive strips, I gave up. These hooks are a joke. I should have just drilled holes in the first place. Do not buy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These hooks are great for hanging my kitchen floor tools on the wall out in the garage. No ugly nail holes, either! My kitchen and garage are attached, so I just hung my Swiffer Wet Jet, Swiffer Sweeper, Broom, and Stick Vac on the wall within arm's reach of the garage/kitchen door. Now, they are no longer taking up space in my pantry-less kitchen and also not taking any room in the garage. The added bonus is that the Swiffer Wet Jet has a full tank and is on the heavy side, but that hook is holding on tight!
My daughter's high school locker was missing all the hooks to hold up jackets, etc. This was not working well organization wise, so my husband went to the store to purchase some adhesive hooks - "make sure you buy 3M brand" I told him, "they always have good quality items". Well I was wrong about this one - my daughter even took rubbing alcohol to school with her to clean the sides of the locker and she followed directions. All the hooks (we bought a package of 3) fell off within a day - they could not even hold up an empty backpack. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I've never been so frustrated and disappointed with any product in my entire life. I put up a command hook to hang a less than 1 pound wall scroll. It fell after a day. I cleaned the wall, and put up a new one. It fell within a few hours. Put up another one, waited for it to set over night, hung the scroll. It fell within two hours. Heated the wall with a blow dryer (since my room is cold), put a new hook on, hung the scroll, FELL YET AGAIN. I followed every direction to the letter and nothing has worked. When I barely followed the directions (my first attempt) it actually stayed the longest. I kept giving the hooks the benefit of the doubt, but I'm just out of options. They simply don't work. Waste of money!!!
