Command Medium Picture Hanging Strips, Damage Free Hanging Picture Hangers, No Tools Wall Hanging Strips for Living Spaces, 16 White Adhesive Strip Pairs(32 Command Strips)

Not a new product - someone else had already opened the package and it was resent/resold. Ill keep it as its usable but should not have paid full price.

Very Nice

I purchased these about six months ago, and have been meaning to write a review. Let me start by first saying, I do generally like Command adhesive products, and have generally had great success using these products (in my office at work, and in a rented apartment), but this is the worst of many packages of Command products I have purchased. First, these did not come in the 3M Command packaging - these came in a clear plastic bag, like how you get the screws and bolts for DIY furniture. I was like, okay, Ive gotten other products off Amazon that didnt have the original packaging, assuming because of damage in the warehouse or something, and they worked perfectly fine. So, I kept these. BIG MISTAKE. These were the worst Command items to work with. First, is just about impossible to get the backing off these strips - Im talking, if you are lucky enough to get a 2mm edge free with your fingernails, you need to bite with your front teeth and try to pull the rest off. Secondly, similar to what other reviewers have stated, even if you do get the backing off (sometimes a fine layer of paper remains) , the adhesive mostly peels off, then snaps back in a messy blob...its kind like that goopy adhesive on the back of new credit cards, but way thinner, stickier, and impossible to straighten out and attempt to use. Finally, I did manage to get some usable strips out of my pack (of 16 sets, I believe) and at home hung a 10x12 frame - not heavy - to have it fall after a few weeks. And because maybe Im a moron, Ive used strips from the same package and rehung the picture only to have it eventually fall two more times. Just yesterday it fell again and the frame finally broke, which prompted me to write this review. At work, I hung a much larger, heavier dry erase calendar and it fell twice as well. I finally ended up using clear pushpins all around the bottom corners to keep it in place. The person who moves into my office after me is going to think Im nuts. Please note, despite all the negativity, I have purchased the same item on Amazon in the past and those hanging strips worked great - I would just be careful purchasing from this particular item option because Im suspicious that this is a fake 3M product, or if it is, it may be a defective batch that someone chose to sell anyway. Its not like im out a ton of money, its just disappointing.

Hanging family pictures & I ran out of my command strips. My husband picked up a generic brand & it was a complete waste of money! They didn’t work past 30 minutes before everything fell to the floor! Learned a lesson, always go with the best for lasting perfection, Command! Ease of use & strong hold!

Everyones walls and paint are probably different, but the instructions to clean the walls with isopropyl alcohol may very well take your paint with it. Tried to hang a basic 8x10 frame and one side would not stick to the (clean) wall upon pushing the frame for 30 seconds. Had to manually push it on individually. Sometimes the ole nail in the wall is not such a bad thing...

I was rearranging things in my rooms and found a number of pictures, photos, etc., but with no way to hang them up. Saw the ad for these hanging strips and now (with the help of my daughter-in-law) most are on the wall and not in a closet. Hooray.

Ive been using this product since they first came out. Easy to use, easy to remove. I do recommend following the directions.

Easy to use. Worth it to buy in bulk because I will definitely use them all at some point.

Ever since I discovered these strips, I never have to nail anything to a wall again! They are easy to use and remove, this last time i had to completely reposition for frames and it was a breeze, the strips kept their adhesive crossing my fingers but everything is where I left it. I love command products, I have some for doors to hang decorative wreaths and some for the back of the door for bath robes and towels without issue.

Removing the strips are usually not a problem if I am patient. Yanking them off the wall will take paint off on occasion. So take care. Using Command Strips is so much easier for me to place my pictures where I want them. I am always second guessing myself if using hangers and nails. Usually my guess even with measuring is wrong.
