I don't like putting holes in my dry walls as much as I can. These picture hanging hooks with Command strips work great IF and only IF you follow all the instructions. In particular, the mounting surfaces (both wall and and hook) must be clean and dust-free before installation. Also, it is tempting to hang your pictures soon after installing the hooks, but you really should wait at least an hour for the adhesive to 'cure' before the hook can take its stated load.

It's been more than a month since I've used them and so far, none of them have failed me. Great product!

I've used several 3M products. I usually don't have problems. The picture hanging strips with velcro are awesome. These, however, are just the plain 3M sticky strip. This means you have to know EXACTLY where the teeth are on the back of your frame, and be sure that the strips' hangers are EXACTLY level on the first try. There aren't any second chances. I went through 2 extra strips before getting my second hook in the right place. The velcro would've been better, but I don't think they do that on the sawtooth hangers.

Yes, I did the prep correctly (rubbing alcohol and everything!) Yes, I waited the correct amount of time. No, I didn't overweight the hooks OR strips.

I have now had 3 sets of the hooks and 1 set of the strips completely fail on me, to the tune of 3 drywall patches, a very banged-up print mounted on foamcore, a couple of dinged frames, one completely destroyed frame, and a huge chunk of 100+ year wooden baseboard. It's happened on drywall and plaster, on interior and exterior walls, in winter and now in summer. I'm so frustrated I could spit.

THESE STUPID STRIPS ARE NOTHING BUT A RECIPE FOR MISERY. Some fail overnight. Some wait weeks or months to fail. It's not worth it. It's far easier to spackel and fix a nailhole than it is 1-2 3/4-1" drywall paper chunks out of my walls.

I'm so ticked off. I used a couple of these with some success and then ordered a ton of them from Amazon. Now they are all failing left and right.

Now I read other reviews that say that these don't work well with Behr paint. I don't know if it's Behr or if it's the Primer-and-Paint-in-One thing, but looking back the only time these have worked (the first two I bought) were on walls painted with regular paint. All of the other failures have been on the paint-and-primer walls.

If this is really the case, I'm even more frustrated than I was before.

Honest reviews on Command Sawtooth Picture-Hanging Hooks, 3-Hanger

Love them!!!! They work great and can allow me to hang pics without feeling committed to damage my walls with a hole if I don't like where it is. However, you must follow the directions--as in hold the tape down for 30 seconds and then wait an hour. If you

don't follow the directions, your pics will fall down. I did it a few times without following the instructions and the tape did fail--but then when I did all the steps, everything stayed and works great!

This is one of the worst products I've ever used.I've just renovated my whole house and didn't want to mark my newly painted walls. I have several pieces of old, much loved art which I've never been able to display. I used Command hooks for wire hanging as well as sawtooth hangers. I applied them exactly as instructed. The pictures hung for all of two weeks and all fell off the wall. None was over the weight limit for the product. Fortunately, none was damaged. Apparently this is one of those instances of "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Never again will I use anything but nail on hooks.
