Command Large Picture Hanging Strips, Damage Free Hanging Picture Hangers, No Tools Wall Hanging Strips for Living Spaces, 4 White Adhesive Strip Pairs

This are liner than the previous command strips I got a while ago. Very sturdy and adhesive works well. Used them for a DIY pantry project and things are still holding up well. Thought Id need all of them but still have several left over. Got it at a good sale price so it was worth it. No complaints here.

I get that it’s bulk packaging, but instead of a clear bag mine came in something that gives off a used/returned vibe. Plus, it’s the only recent Amazon order that COULD have shipped in a plastic bubble mailer, but they mailed a box! Im used to FRAGILE items tossed in bags instead of boxes, and this is the order that finally comes boxed. As you can see, some of strips were miscut… possibly factory mistake, possibly sloppy box-cutter work by the distributor. Either way, someone stuffed damaged goods into my Nixie Bag, and we haven’t even tried them out. Instructions say to stick the frames first, but they don’t make you wait an hour or prep with alcohol (I noticed these didn’t come with wet wipes like other packages). It’s the same adhesive on all the strips! Prep one surface but not the other? Okay so sticking the frame first makes for easy alignment without measuring, but you’ll probably want to measure the hanging height to get the center at the standard 57” eyeline and measure again to make sure it’s centered or spaced correctly. And if you can’t rest a level on the top of your frame, you’ll probably have to draw a line to mount the frame level since it won’t tip like a nail/hook installation. Once you’ve mounted the frame you have to mash on it for 30 seconds at each tape, so hopefully your frame is sturdy enough. I imagine some decorative frames that aren’t prohibitively heavy wouldn’t be up to the task (you could always measure and stick the wall instead). Now that it’s mounted, you have to take it down! The tape needs an hour to fully stick to the wall (and presumably your frame), and you’re supposed to yank the frame off the wall! The tape is loose so you want me to pull on it? This is my biggest beef with Command products. No matter how carefully you prep or how long you press your thumbs purple, there’s a good chance that tape is coming off of one or both surfaces. If it’s old stock (hey 3M, how about some born-on dates?) the chances increase. I really shouldn’t have to buy extras, because the same batch is likely to have the same problems, and you can’t really save them for future use as they dry out. In practice, you need to wait at least a day (not an hour) before you complete hanging and another day before using any shelves, baskets, or hooks. If it lasts the week, it should stay until removed. It should be much easier to remove the backing from the strips. You sometimes have to use a knife or razor blade to try to lift the film away from the foam. Having tweezers or a needle now pliers can also help once you’ve a corner peeled up a bit. In a pinch, a pin (straight or safety) can work: bend up a corner with the point and harpoon that corner to pull up the rest. Since theses strips hook together not too unlike Velcro, there is some ability to adjust the frame. The further out of registration the frame is moved, the less grip the tapes will have. The wall tapes may also become viewable if the frame is moved over too much.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Dont skip the step of cleaning the surface with alcohol. Important. Youll get your best stick to that way.

Same item as purchased in store. Quality hanging strips work very well.

My van is my home on wheels so its important to make it feel like home and adding framed photography definitely does the trick. I have three 10x12 frames hung in my van with these and they stay true to their advertising. After over a year they are still doing their job. If my frames were even larger, I would still trust the Command Strips to hold. If my van can go over speed bumps, stop and go traffic, and do its fair share of off-roading without these command strips giving up, then I think theyre worth the recommendation! (I have also used them in my apartments in the past to hang framed art and they work well there too. Not only is it nice to not have to worry about nail holes but it also makes hanging a level picture frame a breeze.)

Great product. Never a damage wall. Stress free hanging pictures. Great creation.

I got these because my cat was rattling the bottom of picture frames hanging on the wall. Two of these across the back of the bottom of the frame, and he couldnt rattle it anymore. It worked! They are useful but Ive had bad luck counting on them to hold up frames all by themselves.

I purchase 3m command strips instead of putting nails in my walls. This time, I decided to hang the soundbar for my TV on the wall. I knew command strips would do the job, so i purchased these heavy duty strips. I put 4 strips on the soundbar and it hangs perfectly on the wall, nice and secure!

Very strong hold! Just bought another pack!

Easy to use.
