[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a large hook in my shower area to hang a towel. I remembered I had this hook, put it up and it works great! A perfect fit for the job. I highly recomend Command Products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the large hook to use and followed the directions it said to do. It did not hold. I tried a different one as well in another space and it did the same thing. The picture was not heavy at all. The whole thing just came off, the picture, the hook, the sticky strip. Very misleading product.

Thank you for your review of the Command™ Large Hook. We only recommend our Command™ Picture and Frame Hanging Products to hold frames, posters, etc. The Command™ Large Hooks you used are not recommended for picture hanging where our picture hanging strips can hold up to a 16 lb picture. We would like the opportunity to discuss your application and send you the correct product for your application. Please look for our email that we've sent to you. Thank you again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These hooks are so handy, and very tough. I found letting the kids hang them where they want, they are better at hanging their jackets and clothes, and the landlord won't get mad about drilling into the walls.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These work great - in a house that we recently left, I had command hooks of all kinds, including these, all over the house for various things. I love that I had ways to organize and hang things relatively inexpensively. What I don't like, though, is the removal process. Almost every time I pulled down on one, the strip would snap and break and I'd have to try again. When I finally got the right angle, I had to shield my face from being hit when the plastic hooks finally were released from the wall. Be sure not to have anyone else around as they do go flying and not so gently.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually wait for my husband to put up or install things in our home, however, the instructions were simple & easy to understand. I thought,"why wait", I need this hook NOW. I installed it with ease and it is amazingly durable and holds everything I want it to. 3M has GREAT products and this is just another example of how well everything they make works. I have purchased 3M products in the past and they always live up to my expectations. Thanks 3M!!!
I see quite a few of you use these for picture hanging. I found out the hard way -- via broken glass and gouged floor! -- that the company does NOT recommend them for use this way. Even though there is NO warning about this on the website and you think you can hang pictures. Customer service told me there is teeny tiny print on the package saying not to use them to hang pictures. VERY inconvenient in my opinion. Why not state this up front?? I had a disaster on my hands when a picture fell crashing to the floor in the middle of the night! The way the hook is on the wall, the picture hangs with the bottom against the wall and the top slightly outboard. They said it places stress on the adhesive and eventually will pull away from the wall. Save yourself some heartache and use something else for pictures in frames!
