Command Bath Designer Hooks, White, Water Resistant - 2 Medium Hooks and 4 Adhesive strips - Hang Towels, Robes and other Bathroom Accessories - Ideal to avoid Drilling through Tiles

The 3M Command range, originally only of hooks in a few sizes, was intended initially to be used in 'dry' environments for use as coat hooks, for towels, bath robes etc but not necessarily where the product may be affected by steam or moisture. Although I have used several of the identical hook and also the smaller version, and they have survived for several years of constant use although a few have needed to be replaced eventually, I was not aware of the existence of the 'waterproof' version. The difference exists only in the nature of the strips used and not anywhere else. The hook appears to be appears to be a single moulding but is an assembly of the hook mounted on a back-plane. If, when installed on a surface you firmly push upwards on the hook, it will lift from the back-plane and expose a pull tab. Pulling on that tab will stretch it and break the seal.The principle is simple; the strips allow semi-permanent installation of one or several hooks which may be removed and re-used, if needed to be relocated, removed or possibly upgraded. The hook can be re-used if the non-reusable strip is replaced, either with the spare normally provided or if you buy a pack of spare strips which are available in several sizes.Proper preparation of the surface to which the hook is to be attached is essential and, if the instructions are correctly followed and especially in relation to the differently coloured sides, the hook should be usable for several years. I have some other products with non water-resistant strips that have been in continuous use in a location for several years and I have not yet had the indignity of one falling off either almost immediately after installion or ever. I have experienced a couple of breakages but only if accidentally overloaded, in one instance with an over-wet towel when several in succession were safely held for years both dry and mildly damp or when the material ages and yellows.Especially useful in the bathroom, shower or laundry room although I have experienced success with the standard 'non-waterproof' version used in the bathroom, when I did not have the option to use this version. They can be attached to tiles, glass (especially the thick and strengthened type used in showers), metal and painted or laquered wood and several other smooth surfaces. When correctly installed, they should never fall off and I have never yet experienced that happening with more than 20 having been used over time. In any event, the adhesive used with these feels far tackier than is 'normal'.

Used these for the back of the door and used the other to hang oven gloves up on our fridge. Great little hooks and really strong considering the size.

If you want a hook for fairly modest loads where you do not want to start drilling holes these are fantastic.They are very strong providing you follow the sticking instructions correctly. They last a long time.We have several around the house and they all work very well for holding things like towels and cloths including a fairly heavy bath sheet towel.We also use these to hang baby and child bibs on the back of the kitchen chairs.I probably wouldn't want to hang something valuable unless it was fairly light.They are pretty easy to install. As usual it is key that the mating surface is clean and grease/oil free so a bit of cleaning preparation is always worth it before you apply the sticky pad.The hook plastic whilst brittle is fairly strong and will last up to plenty of regular abuse.

they work well haven't fallen yet

As expected

Great product does just what it says very strong

The device continuously falls off the bathroom wall. Not what I expected...

So far, this is in line with the other Command products i've used, they're good quality.I love the removable adhesive (and can confirm it works). Haven't tested the weight claim, but pulling down on one (gently, but very likely with much more force than 1.3kgf), seems to be super secure.5/5 very useful around the house, especially as a tenant.
