The Holy Grail of Wall Hooks! Why Damage Your Walls?

[@AbdicateDotNet]

Try pulling them off after a few years! That plastic "pull" hardens and then you've got issues. (The trick: heat gun.)

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Handy trick! Thanks for sharing

[@hibernogirl]

Hair dryer?

[@Wish-iq4md]

I had yellow stain on my white wall after a little over a year

[@herbladyann]

I just removed a dozen after 4 years and they came off cleanly, no residue or stain. One photo had tape at the bottom of the frame. I used a hair dryer under the photo and the tape released perfectly on the wall and the frame.

[@stephensmith4220]

Love your videos! It would be interesting to see if the rubbing alcohol (or lack of it) makes any difference when it’s time to remove the hooks.

[@MacTropic]

brilliant - very helpful! thank you from Manchester UK

[@RichardT2112]

Wearing my official Funny Carpenter T-shirt whilst watching this …even the Mrs noticed! My strength concern is that it is simply holding onto the paint on the wall, and at best just the paper of the drywall. I am old fashioned, but can’t help but install a drywall anchor and do it properly.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

That is awesome! How are you liking the fabric? I'm pretty impressed with those hooks, for a hook rated for .5lbs it was punching so far above its weight class! I bought a bunch more and have been hanging up stuff all over the place. The thing that I like is if you end up not wanting the hook there- bang you just take it off. Going to hang up my KZbin Silver Play button with the picture hanging strips...It would be a real tragedy if that falls off the wall:( Cheers Richard have a great weekend!

[@RichardT2112]

@@TheFunnyCarpenter the boss was just saying that this has to be the best quality T-shirt I own. The material is nice and heavy and a great “tuck-in” length too! Funny thinking 125k subs! I think I first joined when you had just passed 1K. I feel old hahaha Ok off to bed with this hombre - when COVID is over (and the roads re-open) I still hope to grab that beer with you! Mind you with this constant rain, I think I will be heading out to your way in a boat! Take care and chat soon!

[@Sentient_Goose]

I'm watching you tape things to the wall...I could literally watch you do anything, WOOF

[@RPmusic06]

Nice video bud!!! Some really useful info, have a great weekend 👌👌 cheers🍻

[@konamanstudio2447]

👍🏻🍻🍺🎉 You have to watch out Robin alcohol on paint sometimes it will sometimes they will discolor or take the Pan off

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

🍻no doubt!

[@shambooshivamahadeva1909]

Haha even the blogger is cautious of Hook getting unstuck whenever he changes the weight

[@msclarissaj10]

I wonder if the alcohol affects how clean it comes off later?

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

It doesn’t seems to. I haven’t used it in the past. I just thought I’d try it out for the video.

[@tonyesquire5308]

I have a 120 silver ticket projection screen and deciding between 15lb max commnad strips vs screw or bolt option. Whar advice does anyone have for using 2 15lb commad strips over nails/bolts? Thanks.

[@lincolndickerson1293]

First, I use this kind of often and for atleast 10 years. Now when have they failed? After 3 years on an uncleaned by any means surface I had three just come of the wall within about a week of each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still not really sure why I have had many others stay stuck for much longer without prepping the walls. I have used the plastic hooks and the plastic has failed and broke off. I have pulled the sticky back part off and not damaged the wall years after installation. If you accidently tear off the pull tab you can grab a tiny piece with needlenose pliers and safely remove. Lastly never install on wallboard or paint it is damaged. it will tear and you need to spackle or apply multipurpose compound to fix the wall. … though after proper repair and paint using the hook again is fine

[@victoriabarclay3556]

Great video. Also great idea for hanging masks. I wouldn’t put the hooks too close though, so the masks don’t touch. Always wash your hands before and after using your mask guys.

[@Ezzell_]

with the big weight, it was pulled out and not just down.....that's why is let go i believe.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Definitely

[@billligon4005]

What about painted concrete walls, (walls, were painted years ago), these buggers just don't stick to my walls. Damnit!!

[@mrnoedahl]

Please try it on textured walls. I have an older house.

[@perniculous]

These strips have a BIG problem. There are two parts to these things, the velcro part and the adhesive strip it's attached to. They may last only 6 months to 1 year before the velcro part separates from the adhesive. I'm not talking about the adhesive that goes against the wall or the object. It's like the bond dries out and BOOM down goes your picture after a while. Big warning, DO NOT USE THEM!

[@NoReply28]

What are on about? I have these holding up multiple square style shelf with plenty of objects in them. It been 5 years or so and it still on my wall...

[@perniculous]

@@NoReply28 Not just my experience, but YMMV

[@meet_me_soon]

​@@NoReply28 is it now ? Bet you didn't have this version of the hook.

[@bunnywarren]

Take into account that you're hanging the hook off the paint so if the paint isn't well adhered to the wall that'll fail first.

[@armax00]

You just reminded me that I should probably read the instructions a bit more often :D

[@gldnglow]

😂😂😂 Everyone talks about me because I do read them all.

[@sbukosky]

We just removed several picture held up by the Velcro type of these. After several years, worked great and removed cleanly.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Good to know! I'm really liking this command system.

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Man you really put this video out at the exact time I needed this information.....Redecorating my game room and want put up some non permanent fixtures. This will work perfectly. Thank you 😁

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

That’s great! I’ve already starting hanging up some other stuff around the house. It’s nice to have an option that’s easy to take off without damaging the wall.

[@world-wide9136]

Do not use those plastic ones that glue to the wall . They'll pull all the paper out of your drywall and leave a nasty hole

[@johntheboy6555]

LOVE your videos man - wish my dad taught me literally anything about taking care of stuff around the house.

[@schreds8882]

In general, the Command hooks work well but I've had bad luck using them on gloss paint. My basement walls are just the concrete painted with gloss paint. The Command hooks just fall off on their own with nothing on them at all. I want to avoid drilling into my basement walls since the walls have just been repaired for holes and cracks.

[@ytsux9259]

That's why you need to clean the areas with alcohol and ply heat afterwards.

[@schreds8882]

@@ytsux9259 I'll try it this weekend. Thanks! 😁

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Hahahha. I love how the camera shook when the 25lb kettlebell hit the floor. Great video man! Also, do you have anything to add about textured walls like the knockdown I have at my house?

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

I would move immediately to a house with smooth walls😂 just kidding I think you’re stuck with conventional methods.

[@dr.mariejokane7319]

I am Impressed with your great demonstration of how this product works 🎉 Thank You 🙏

[@number6396]

Every single time I have used the Command hooks it has removed a layer of sheetrock. I believe the amount of time they have been on the wall effects this. I'd rather have a nail hole. I also found they do not hold like in this video. Be careful because your picture will come off the wall and, inevitably, the frame or glass will break. I WILL NEVER USE THESE AGAIN. Funny Carpenter is wrong on this one.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Interesting.

[@adamrichardson9105]

Just bought a house and they used these things all over the walls, trying to get ready to paint but these things do not come off the walls easily. After tearing a few off and now having to repair drywall, I scrape them off with a putty knife, they still damage the drywall. These things have really been a pain in the ass to say the least.

[@jhlewis10]

Hmm, after a few years, one by one our picture frames are falling off the walls going back to traditional.

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

I tried to pull it 6 inches downward. Sadly, I didn't have 6 inches to pull. 😢 Dont judge me... _dont judge me._

[@heatherrrenea]

Let that demon glue set up in your sheetrock for a few months and then show everyone how easy it is to remove without completely destroying your sheetrock.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Nah I’ve removed these after years of use. As long as you take your times and pull down rather than away- they work perfect.

[@kds471]

Great vid as always. I wonder if the kettle bell with its large diameter put force away from the wall vs straight down vertically making it fail.

[@t.s.a3306]

I am very happy 🤩 because I noticed your feedback before I ordered it and will buy it from seenga 🥳 thank you.

[@jaredevildog6343]

Another enjoyable video. Could you do a video on fixing squeeky hinges . Lube them and after a while squeek comes back. Thank you , please keep up the great videos!

[@oktorb]

All the things we want to know about stuff and don't have the time to find out. Thanks for taking the time. Love it.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks buddy

[@Filu63]

These are great for light (weight) hangings - but I find that they don't stand the test of time, my light plastic clock fell off within the week and a very light corkboard fell off after probably couple of months!

[@themeat5053]

Holy cow, what''s going on? Every KZbinr I follow is checking out wall hooks/hangers/anchors over the last week. Clint, my man from Tool Review Zone, did a comparison video; Rudy from the Home Improvement Channel also did one today. And now you. Boy, I'm confused, too many choices. Thanks for making my head hurt.

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Clint is a beauty, I enjoy his channel as well.

[@Believer7154]

Thank you very much. Appreciate your time and effort. Helped a lot. Keep up the good works. Rock on rock on!!!

[@pauljohnson7791]

Great demonstration and thank you for buying from York Barbell in my hometown!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Cheers 🍻 Paul

[@heatherrrenea]

Stop and consider this weight is actually only held by the paper of the sheetrock and once it settles in try removing it per instruction without taking the paper with it. I'll tell you what will happen: the paper will rip and bunch up behind the hook as you pull the tab and you are going to have a damaged wall that will cost you hundreds to repair and all because you wanted to use some cheap xxx sticky hooks.

[@jennifert3528]

Awesome test, very helpful. Thank you!

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@MariaNataliaRuizRendon]

It worked because he follows instructions. I dont read them and thats why its all a mess LOL 😂 😂

[@jennychen6060]

when you remove the 3M hook away form the wall ,will it leave gel on the wall surface ?

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

No it does not

[@فنونالصعيد-خ9ر]

[@ALLNATURALKerala]

Now everyone is shopping with seenga no one buys in these expensive stores 😉

[@gl15col]

These are great if you realize all stickem eventually will dry out and fail. They've done great on things that aren't breakable and don't tip out from the wall. Anything that tips out on the top can put too much pressure on the top. They've never done any damage to my walls if pulled straight down as per instructions.

[@w4rrioreh]

Did the kettlebell put a dent in your floor? :D

[@TheFunnyCarpenter]

I put a big pillow under it😀

[@youfeelwerhyme506]

seenga has just about everything you can imagine buying electronics

[@elir9711]

Had to see it to belive it , really good video . Makes me believe that they work. Good job

[@pyromethious]

The alcohol is more to avoid having dirt or something else loose on the surface that you can't see, so if you do a general clean or always keep it dust free, then it should hold great. That said, this test was on smooth walls, so I'd love to see what happens with the textured walls.

[@ninavaldi]

Will these work well with metal art decor?

[@kenneshachaitram6034]

What the name of the material used...

[@Aesir5]

How many kilograms is that?

Another great video. Thanks .

[@marshaprescott8584]

Awesome video.

[@DebyColes]

As a landlord, these things are a nightmare. Yes you can remove them in the short term, but longer term the pull tab weakens and breaks off or the bond is so strong that the tenant pulls and pulls until eventually the wall surface gives out before the glue does and then we have a darned big hole in the wall to repair. So in short, OK for temporary use, but will mess up the wall if you use them longer term.

[@McSneakFreaks]

Do you have any recommendations that you as a landlord prefer?

[@DebyColes]

@@McSneakFreaks Landlords generally prefer that tenants use any existing wall fittings, and not add more of their own. If you need something attached to the wall, ask your landlord to secure a proper fitting for you, and then pay to have it removed and the wall made good again when you leave.

[@NoReply28]

It not a problem if you know what you're doing 🤦‍♂️. The wall and paint in my apartment is pretty cheap but I never have any issues. Recently remove several strips that been holding my window curtain for several years. Came right off and left no damage. Any strip that was "hardened" is easily removed with a heat gun. Instead of using brute force to rip these things off the wall... Try using your brain. 😂
