Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hercules Hook 0772009 Revolutionary Wall Hangers w/Laser Marker, 20-countCustomer Review: I'll Never Use a Traditional Hanger Again! Summary: 5 Stars
These hooks have proven to be as good as they say. They are so easy to install and use that I can't believe they weren't invented sooner.
There is a very small hole left in the wall, nothing compared to the large nail holes from traditional hangers (that often tear themselves down the wall leaving a much larger hole).
These really install by just pushing them through the drywall. It is so easy to measure for their placement since the hook sticks out almost identical to the hang point of your picture or wall art.
I have bent the hook end at times to accommodate various items and the strength of the product has not diminished.
Photographs, frames, original art -- all my recent displays have been hung using Hercules Hooks and I have not found one problem with them.
Try them -- you'll love them!
Customer Review: I'm not the handiest... Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not the handiest person in the world and these work very well. I have a little trouble getting the hook to turn upwards while inserted but I think that could be because I'm not strong enough. The first one I used left a very small hole in the wall which is great. The 2nd one left a little bigger one (bigger than a nail would have) but I think it is because I was struggling a bit..overall great product.
Customer Review: Impressive Summary: 5 Stars
Struggled with hanging hooks, and finding studs (in all the wrong places), and punching various holes in various walls for many years. Found these, and was very impressed. It's a very cheap option to try if you are at all unsure, and even if they don't work in all applications, chances are, if you are in the market for "quick fix" wall hangings they won't disappoint. The hole they leave behind is indeed small enough to fix easily if you move your hangings etc. Caveats include needing pliers if your hanging sticks out further than you would like since the hooks do stick out a bit, and also be aware of items not fixed securely - i.e. they are hooks, so your items "hang". I have a laundry rod (clothes hanger) being held up by these hooks, and it's got a little wiggle. It doesn't bother me, and I am not worried that it's going to fall down, but it might bother some people since it's not as tight against the wall as traditional anchors.
Customer Review: It works! Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a pack of these, fully expecting to be out my money and back to wall anchors and drills and the typical headaches associated with hanging a rather heavy mirror with keyhole hanging slots. Imagine my surprise when it went up on the first go round! I've moved this mirror to several homes and it is always a project I dread. It's hanging and it's rock solid. It's also always been a 2 person project. Not today!
This room happens to have drywall, and I did experience some initial resistance when I went to flip the hook around, but I just slid it back and twisted it in the opposite direction until I got the clearance I needed to make the turn.
Ordinarily I don't go in for the "As Seen on TV" stuff, but this is one product that really delivers.
Customer Review: Just as described. Summary: 4 Stars
These hooks are, for the most part, just as they're described. It took a little bit of effort to get them into the wall (not a lot of effort, although, watch out for studs!) and they still do leave a hole about the size of a small nail, but compared to putting an anchor in the wall to hang something large, it is much, much better! I can't wait to hang something else!
