Command products are brilliant!
I'm a big fan of command products; I think they're brilliant. I know some folks have had bad luck with these ruining their walls, but I've only had good experiences. I use this big guy to store my step ladder in the pantry. They're simple to apply and even easier to remove. Shipping was super fast and the add-on price was sweet.

Must use alcohol
I have used other command products to hang my children's choir charts and they have all failed. They are made of wood are are pretty heavy. So far they have passed the test. I also purchased extra to hang out book bags. I'll update this review if they fail.

Strong! Impressive through the sports seasons.
Bought these for the laundry room to hang my kids' sports bags. it was definitely a risky move because you never know how heavy they can be. I am super impressed. We started with soccer season so the bags were fairly light but the hooks held up great. Then we moved to basketball season. Slightly heavier bags but still great hold. Now, we are in baseball season - by far the heaviest bags. My kids have balls, gloves, batting gloves, helmets, sunflower seeds, water bottles, copious amounts of trash, and - yes - bats, in their bags. Somehow these are still holding strong. I am so impressed. I use another for my son's bookbag and one for my gym bag. We are now in our third sports season and I have no complaints. Will definitely buy more, and buy again if need be.

Strong!
Worked for my purpose. The wooden toilet seats in the picture are my classroom hall passes. They are solid wood so not light, but these hooks are perfect & seem totally stable.

Use for very heavy garland
We have used these for years to hang Christmas garland all around the house. We have very heavy, decorated garland (pine cones, apples, greens etc.) and these hooks have worked beautifully. We keep re-using the hooks and just buy the large command strip refills every year. Just bought a couple extras for some new garland. They are a great value for the price. We learned after the first year to place them three fingers widths from the ceiling to allow room to lift the outer hook up from the back piece. We also have learned to push hard for thirty seconds when you first put them up. The one year we tried to hurry and stick them up without that thirty second push, we did have some hooks that fell away from the wall. Finally, for the occasional strip that breaks during the removal process, a hair dryer and dental floss will remove it from the wall with no marks whatever left behind (Happens on average 1 out of the 100 hooks we put up.) LOVE THESE.

Unique hook size for larger and wider items
I am already a Command customer, and I use all the other sizes of hooks all over my house. I recently purchased these larger jumbo hooks to use a storage solution for my hats. I only recently started wearing hats (sun hats, floppy hats) and didn't have anywhere to store them. I got these large ones, which are the perfect width for hanging my hats in a column on a narrow, bare wall near my closet. I also used one of these near the door to my bedroom for my purse after reading that another reviewer put one by her door. I haven't had a lot of stuff in my purse, but after a while, I get too lazy to clean out my purse and it gets a little heavy. I will definitely repurchase these hooks for similar use in the future.

Made a believer out of me!
Have to tell you the truth....I never really put faith in any of these Command products. How could you trust putting heavy, valuable items on a hook that is not screwed into the wall, but rather supported by adhesive? I needed to create a hook to hang my bathrobe on my closet door. I really didn't want to resort to drilling and putting a screw in the door. I took the chance and ordered one of these Jumbo Command Hooks. It was really cheap and became an add-on item to the rest of my order. Installation was super easy. You basically prep the area you want to stick the hook to with rubbing alcohol. The instructions do advise you not to use any other household cleaning products to do that. Next, you remove the red adhesive on the back of the stickers and place them on the hook. Then remove the black stickers and place the hook on your desired location. Of course, there's a few seconds and minutes of pressing into place for all procedures that are involved. You also need to allow the hook to rest in place for about an hour before hanging anything on it. My bathrobe weights 5lbs. This hook is rated for 7.5 lbs. I am now going on day two of having this hook support my robe and it's doing an admirable job. What I really like about this hook is if I no longer need it, it easily removes without any adhesive residue -- at least, that is what the manufacturer is claiming. This product does come with an extra set of adhesives in case you make a mistake and need to start over. Count me in as someone who is very impressed with this product. It really does seem strong enough to support its advertised weight capacity. Additionally, I am just really happy I was able to put a hook on my closet door without having to drill. Highly recommended!

Life changing!
The Command strips are truly amazing! They've changed my life. I use them for everything. The info says this hook will support 7 pounds. We've used them for so many things, including hanging our backpacks, plastic grocery bags, and purses on the wall rather than on the floor. Even when bags are full, this jumbo hook supports the weight easily. I've hung my backpack with a full water bottle, laptop, and wallet on it and never had an issue. I've never had one leave a mark on my walls or remove paint, but on a door with a very dark wood finish/stain, they did take off a bit off the finish when removed. This didn't surprise me, because the finish was coming off on cleaning rags and stuff when I was dusting and cleaning. But still, use caution with dark wood surfaces. The smaller hooks are great for hanging washcloths, dishcloths and towels (rather than throwing them over the edge of the faucet or sink, or hanging off the oven handle... which is what we did before). Make sure you follow the directions. The surface should be clean and dry. They recommend that you clean it with alcohol first, which can strip off some of the paint or finish, so be careful and gentle when you do that. The first time I did it, I really rubbed with the alcohol, which removed some of the paint from my wall.

Command Jumbo Hook
I use Command Jumbo hooks for many things. They work very well and do not damage walls. You just clean the spot for putting the hook up. Then just sick the tape that comes with it on the hook and press for about a minute. To remove the hook, pull the tab on the bottom of the tape and pull straight down. The hook lifts straight up and comes off easy.

Use them as a curtain rod
I use these as a curtain rod and so far (2 weeks) so good. I started with the 3M broom gripper, but that ripped off in less than 12 hours. I used three hooks - one on each end and one in the middle - for my IKEA Racka curtain rod (approx. 3/4" diameter), and the hooks are the perfect fit. The only problem is that they are so close to the wall that there isn't much room to pull my curtain back and forth. I compensate by doing it very carefully every day. Thems the breaks. The curtains themselves are blackout, so, not incredibly light.
