Title: 3M Command Strip Hangers
Post by: pinballdude on June 20, 2011, 11:39:12 am
Has anyone had any long term use of this item?
I was wondering how much weight they can support and for how
long. I don't trust the label as to how much it can support so
I was looking for opinions. I want to hang some weighty items
on a wall that cannot be pierced by nails, screws, etc.
Thanks.

I haven't had luck with them, they either drop form the wall, or  stay, but then require scrapping  when I try to remove them
my attempts were on a wet plaster wall, your results may vary.

I've used them quite a bit and have been for the most part pretty impressed. I have had one or 2 pull off some of the paint on the wall during removal, but that was me not following the proper way to remove. I have a big one stuck to tile in my bathroom that the kids use to hang towels on after a shower and its been great. I put another big one in my wifes office for her to hang stuff on, and she probably has put 50lbs of !%@$ on it without trouble-- thats stuck to a melamine cabinet and have never tried to remove it.

Wow! 50 pounds! No sh*t?
I am hanging Coke Cardboards in the gold
wooden frames. I think I'll avoid hanging the
framed w/glass ones.
Thanks for the info, guys.

I don't know if its exactly 50lbs, but its a whole load of stuff. I wouldn't be afraid to hang a few pounds on them for sure.
