OOK 535888 Professional Picture Hangers, Art Hangers, Brass, 10lb Max Weight (35 Piece)

I really like how secure they are on the wall, but the nail head ends up sticking out as the hook. These are good for frames that have a wire to hang from.

I was excited to see these at a reduced cost compared to Home Depot, but when I received them it was evident that they were not the same packaging as the pack at Home Depot. I like the 10 lb size because the nails are very small, but these have nails that are twice the diameter to the originals I purchased locally. Will they work? Yes, but they will leave a larger hole in your wall and I do not support counterfeit goods so back they go.

Ive been using OOK picture hangers forever and without complaint--they were a 5 star product that was the gold standard for hanging art of any type. Recently, I ran out of my existing inventory and had to buy some 10lb hangers for the first time in a long while--and thats when I discovered that one of the best things about OOK hangers had been changed by the bean counters. Since the 10 and 20lb hangers will handle most household needs, I appreciated that OOK sized the nails for this weight capacity to be fairly thin and not that long, the better to leave just a pinhole in the wall. But now theyve switched to one-size-fits-all nails, so even the light load picture hangers get thicker, longer nails that leave a larger hole. I suppose this saves a few beans for the counters, since one size of nail is cheaper to manufacture and inventory than multiple sizes, but I will only use OOK hangers now for heavier loads. If youre doing multiple hangings of lighter objects--like a gallery wall of assorted photos--forget it! Youll be left with a mess of larger holes in the wall if you want to make a change. Dont you hate it when formerly great products cut corners and ruin what made the product special in the first place?

I am a decades-long fan of OOK hangers, but they have now changed the nails to a MUCH larger size (diameter and length) than they used to be. I can see how that made sense for the higher weight hangers, but why on earth would one want such a tremendous nail for the tiny 10 and 20 pound sizes? A sizeable hole is now left whereas there used to be barely more than a pinhole. Im very disappointed.

This product is so easy to use and if you want to move the hook is really easy and the nail holes are so small they are hardly visable

Why have they stopped making the small pins that these hooks used to come with? The pins provided are too long and go through Sheetrock and hit the wooded studs.

These are the best for plaster walls.

Nice to have small hangers for small art or projects. The angled nail works very well to protect the wall,

The attraction of this style of picture hook was the small hole it placed in a wall. On the right in the attached picture is the 10lb OOK hook purchased several years ago. Small weight limit AND small nail. Now the weight limit is still 10 lbs but the nail included (shown on the left) is the larger diameter previously used for 30 lb plus hooks. While the price for 35 hooks is great, these whopper nails defeat the purpose of using the small hooks.

I expected thin nails with the 10 lb hooks but these are the same nails you get with the 30lb hooks. They are HUGE and leave HUGE holes. If I hadnt damaged the impossible package opening it, these would go back pronto. VERY disappointing.
