I bought 60 of these to see if I could hang a Goalrilla basketball hoop above my garage. So far, so good! I'm working with Air Alert to get my HOPS game strong enough so that I can start dunking on fools to really put these things to the test. Honestly, if I tear my hoop down because I'm dunking on fools I won't even be mad.
Be sure to try Command products. I have dozens of their hooks & some of their other items as well. It's great for hanging photos, etc.
on the wall and then not have to worry about holes in the wall. However, they do dry out after a few years and become difficult to remove. Just grab some dental floss and that problem is solved.
I absolutely LOVE using the command hooks. These refills are a great deal for how much convenience they provide. I am a wedding photographer, so when I shoot weddings, I like to use the command hooks to hangup the Bride's dress. I bring a few refill strips with me everytime, and always pleased with the strength and ease of the 3M command hook system. Needless to say: these work EXACTLY like the ones that come with the 3M command hooks themselves. Warning, they do have different sizes, so make sure you buy the right size, They have LARGE ones as well as MEDIUM ones which can easily be confused with.
There was some skepticism initially in purchasing and using these command strips ensuring the adhesive does not mar or destroy surfaces. These are used at holiday time on a stained wooden front door to hang wreaths and other similar decorations.
After purchasing, using and removing a decorative 3M door hanger, the experience was extremely positive. Since it's winter we can have a range of temperatures and weather patterns. The mount was only used for a few months then removed. Removal was easy with no residue or damage to the surface. If these are used long term or more permanent then the experience could be different. Short term use is great.
The package notes how to install the strips. It is much better to locate a YouTube video (being a visual learner) to ensure proper installation. The refills arrived in an envelope with non OEM packaging. They were sealed in a properly sized clear plastic bag.
Since adopting the use of these 3M products and command strips, replacements were needed. Various mounts are easily found in stores, The replacement strips not so much. In store options found were only packages with various sizes. Only one size was needed so searched good ole Amazon and voila! Not only did I find this bulk package for the size needed the price was great as well. I should get a few years out of this one package since use is seasonal and short term. Great product!
I used this product to mount a magnetic knife rack in my kitchen (I'm a renter so I couldn't use the hardware provided with the rack). The first product i used caused it to fall off within 1 day but once I got this (and followed the suggestions of other reviews to allow the product to sit for a few hours before mounting on my backsplash and then let the rack stay attached to the wall overnight before adding any knives to it) I had no problems. I mounted the knife rack about 3 months ago. It holds about 7-8 knives and have see no signs of failure of these strips. I will definitely buy this product again when I need something like it in the future.

Description
Command Refill Strips make it easy to move and rehang your Command Products to reorganize or redecorate your home. For reuse with Command General Purpose and Decorative Large Hooks. For indoor use only. Like all Command Products, they hold strongly on a variety of surfaces, including tile, wood, metal and painted surfaces. Yet they also remove cleanly - no holes, marks, sticky residue or stains. Command Refill Strips come in small, medium and large sizes.
It's difficult to give a bad or even a mediocre review for Command strips and their associated products because I've always had good luck with this type. I tend to use hooks, etc.that will hold more than the weight I need them to support and I was at fault the one time I can recall when they failed due to unexpected summer heat.
The only negative is that I do wish they were less expensive since I use them a lot as I rework my living space over time, making changes to better suit my needs, esp at the computer desk or in the kitchen. They're great turned upside down to anchor the hand-grip parts of plastic grocery sacks recycled as kitchen wastebasket liners, and several strips this size behind Command Picture Hangers hold fluorescent light strips beneath upper kitchen cabinets. Several Picture Hangers of this size again hold a clear Lucite acrylic towel bar on the refrigerator door. Command clear products are excellent used vertically to hold pens on the refrigerator or a stylus at the side of a touchscreen peripheral, cords and cables.
Follow the instructions to the letter and go overboard with caution re: the weight to support or the surface on which you're using them and you should have no trouble.
I can't live without command strips. I use them when I need a quick hook on the wall (for Christmas decorations or my son's paper chains) and sometimes use it to attach other items to walls. I love that they hold a lot of weight and they don't damage my walls when I remove them. Get the 3M hooks that go with these, then save the hooks after each use and just get more strip refills. Note that these specific refills are very large. Check the dimensions so you can be sure you're getting the right size.
I used these adhesives (4 strips to be exact) to secure a cat brush against a wall, so that my cats can brush themselves if they would like to. The adhesives that had come with the brush were not effective enough, as my cats peeled the brush off the wall within seconds.
4 of these adhesives secured the brush to the wall without issue. I do not believe the adhesive will peel off paint, as I have used this to secure a toilet paper holder that I had peeled off, but time will tell.
I can never make up my mind about where I want to put things, so when I was looking to put up a couple of hooks for my daughter's backpack and jacket, I wanted a way to remove or move it in case I changed my mind about where I wanted them. Command removable strips are perfect for my indecisive self and have held up perfectly. They've held up my daughter's backpack with lunch box and jacket and haven't budged. I will continue to purchase these for my other projects around the house.
I was hoping my plan to slap the VideoSecu satellite speaker mounts on my wall with command strips rather than drilling holes would work... and it did! I'm using these with the satellite speakers of the Vizio 5.1 soundbar system and have only had an issue with one of the speakers falling off shortly after application, but that was because I applied the command strip too soon after cleaning the wall surface with alcohol so it was still wet. However, it's been a few days since I applied both mounts to my wall with the speakers attached and no issues since then! Best of all, no drilling! These thing hold great!
