I love these claws. It has helped me get over my aversion to hanging things throughout my rental. I have used them solo and in pairs to hang a coffee mug rack, small shelves, collectible toys, and plenty of picture frames. They take the stress out of it all! I would also note that even though they can be a bit of an expense, I've been able to reuse the original set I purchased 3 years ago. They are sturdy and have not let me down once, so I haven't had a need to throw any away. They're worth the price, in my opinion. Thanks for demonstrating their capacity. I wouldn't have dared do it myself, but seeing that water jug and seat suspended like that was so impressive and reassuring. 👏

We ended up testing that on accident because we left all of these on that wall for over a week while we went through the video editing and approval process. I didn’t want to have to put it all back up again if I needed to get more footage. When we finally took everything down after all that time, nothing had moved even a tiny bit. I was impressed. People in the comments are saying they’ve left heavy things up for over a year but I’m still new to these so my experience is shorter.

I found these at Lowes a few years ago and started using them to hang everything ever since. They're really sturdy & really easy. Plus the holes they leave are so tiny that you can barely see them

@JCWren 8 месяцев назад

I was hoping you would overload them to the point the hook bent and/or the drywall failed. It would also be interesting to see how well they work in 3/8" drywall. It looks like the hooks are longer than that, and if you hit a stud, the hook would not be fully seated into the wall. Overall, I'm not surprised at their capability. It's very hard to tear drywall paper, and when hanging typical loads, it's almost a pure sheer force the hook has to resist. Of course, the further out from the wall the load is (like the neck of the water bottle), the more likely the hook will pop out of the wall. I have't used these yet, but I'm definitely going to next time I hang pictures on drywall.

I'd argue that the strength of these depends more on the quality of your drywall than anything else. It doesn't matter how much these are rated for if the drywall itself is poor quality. And most people in apartments using these have pretty bad quality drywall.

I really LOVE to see simple new designs that rethink old assumptions and then win against a long lineage of slightly misdirected technological refinement. In my personal re-engineering hall of fame, this class of drywall anchor joins the nine-block four-way forklift pallet and that newfangled late-twentieth-century wheels-on-luggage concept. Questioning assumptions for the win!

@914Rocky 6 месяцев назад

I’m a fan of these. Best solution I’ve seen for easily hanging heavy objects. Even cooler is the set that comes with foam location finders. They are these little v shaped guys with double sided adhesive. The adhesive on the wall side is stronger. You stick them on the back of your object where the wire ends up when taut and then when you’ve found the spot you want to hang it, you hold the item next to the wall so that the foam Vs touch the wall. The Vs then remain in the wall and point to the spot or spots for the hangers to be pressed in. They are awesome.

@maryrenaud6732 8 месяцев назад

I would love to see something similar for hanging shelves or curtain rods….it is a nightmare to deal with these in older buildings with uneven spacing of studs, hidden pipes or wires in illogical locations. In my 38 year old concrete block building, there are mostly metal studs but all of sudden one side of a window has wood framing. NUTS!

@aceenterprise 6 месяцев назад

While I would also love to see something similar for hanging shelves or curtain rods, I don't think it's possible. These rely on almost direct downward force (similar in concept to how the 3M adhesive strips work). The problem I see with something like a shelf (and to a lesser extent a curtain rod) is the weight is being pulled not only down, but outwards as well, and the longer the distance something sticks out from the wall (in the case of a shelf for instance) the more force it's able to put on the drywall/hook (ie, leverage and fulcrum stuff).

@kevinverble6416 4 месяца назад

These are great, quick, reusable and minimal wall damage. The only issue I have is being careful to not pull outward on the hanger. For example, take a picture that has the typical wire on the back that you need to hook onto the hanger. In trying to hook it and adjust the picture, you can pull outward accidentally and the hanger can start to pull out of the wall. So just be careful of that.

What I'd love is to see a test where you put the hangers to the limit. Not just "can it hang what it says it can" but "how much can it hold before it fails, and what damage will failure cause?"

@--Nath-- 8 месяцев назад

Or, if a product says it is rated for X, you should expect it to hold X with a bit of safety margin.. Seems reasonable huh? An idea would be to test them in different types of wall (e.g. cheapest drywall/plasterboard), one that is very old or has been water damaged or something and see if they still hold. But loading up past the rated amount is kinda pointless. If you want more load: go the next size up which is rated for it.

Of course not. 3M paid him for the video. So of course he’s not going to criticize them (or actually hang something the way a normal person would. Using those little steel cables totally changes the stress points). If you hung a heavy mirror with these, guarantee they’d fail after a few weeks.

There's a huge difference between a static load and a dynamic load. These are for static loads. If your load moves or is put on and off a number of times or the load is "plonked" on, then you need a different system.
