3M CLAW(TM) 15 lb. Drywall Picture Hanger With Spot Marker, Heavyweight Hanging Solution for Room Decor and Office Space Decor, Including Mirrors or Large Art – 6 Pack

I love artwork. I hate hanging it up. Proof in point, I've had a collection of artwork I've been wanting to display in my office at work for probably 6 months and, even having discovered the 3M CLAW when I was getting frames for some of it, it's taken me this long to finally get them and to put up that artwork. I was afraid that this product could not be as good as advertised. I'm very pleased to now be able to report it is every bit as advertised. And, the first as-advertised bit is that you really don't need any tools. Certainly no hammer. Just some firm pressure and the two claws pieces do the job for you. Between the instructions, the features built into the claw, and the design of the multi-use nature of the spot markers, I found it very easy to hang up 4 pieces myself using just 1 of the 5 spot markers ... leaving me the other 4 if I ever need to move things. Took me maybe 45 minutes total (including moving furniture out of the way and moving it back). The process is surprisingly simple ... but ingeniously designed. You arrange the spot marker on the back of the piece you need to hang based on how it will be hung. You arrange the artwork on the wall and apply just enough pressure for the spot marker to adhere to the wall. Remove the artwork and make a dot at the designated spot on the spot marker. Remove the spot marker and now align that dot with the designated plate on the CLAW ... and once level, just press it in. Once in, hang the artwork. The entire process is based on just holding the artwork where you want to it be when finished ... and the spot marker and CLAW naturally "do the match" to determine where the CLAW has to be for that to happen. None of the usual headaches of having to do precise measurements and still hope you're close enough for things to look right. While 1 piece was by itself ... 3 that I hung together aligned the way I was wanting them to so that was really nice. Now that the primary pieces are in place, I can take in the rest and know how they'll have to go in relation to the initial group. A follow-up task that I now look forward to instead of dreading. Having used double-side tape or other such "wall markers" in other crude implementations of these wall spot markers, I know the overall idea isn't new. But, for 3M to be able to start off with such a crude concept and to develop a formal system combining a simple but effective spot marker with their CLAW is just amazing. And, is easily the best way I've seen yet to get something hung up easily, quickly, and accurately. The fact they have them in different weight classes is another great feature. I opted for the 25-lb set instead of the 15-lbs set because 1) I knew getting a set of the same class would be cheapest (I could get 2 packs for 10 total for less than a multi-pack of 8 total) and that 2) a 25-lb CLAW can hang anything that a 15-LB CLAW could even easier. In my case, I had one large canvas, two tall framed prints, and then 1 large all-metal print. The metal print was easily the heaviest ... but while I was certain it was less than 15 lbs, I was more comfortable doubling the weight capacity instead of being "just below" the limit. The 45 lbs or 65 lbs options would probably be fore something really heavy like a mirror or small display shelf. A great system with a lot of possibilities! Glad someone finally figured out how to make such an idea a reality!

This is a great hanger hook for dry wall. They press into the dry wall easily. They are simple to orient in the proper place. I haven't tried to remove one, but believe it would be simple and would leave only two small slits in the dry wall, thus relatively easy to caulk over and repaint; WAY better than drilling through, installing more typical dry wall hanger attachment methods. I used their 25 lb hook for our 13 lb picture and it holds very securely.They provide several double-tape foam 'arrow' positioner devices, that didn't work out for me, but it wasn't a problem.

Decent price , fast shipping, easy to assemble and use , works well , I hang a 3pound wall mirror, sticks well, picture quality, hangs great ! , recommend the

I bought these for ease of use, and because I was looking for something to hold heavier, larger picture frames in my gallery wall more efficiently, as I’m lazy and wanted minimal damage to the walls. I tested these by using a 15lb claw on a medium sized picture frame with glass, above my nightstand. My 3 year old one-brain-celled cat, Nugget, has absolute BEEF with this photo for some reason (my working theory is that he finds the painting of the white cat in the photo either alluring or unsettling). Every. Single. Day. Without fail. Multiple times a day. He is able to stand up on his hind feet to hook his claws between the frame and the glass, and pull the frame OUT FROM THE WALL, at a 45 degree angle, meowing like he’s possessed by a demon (but in the tiniest, cutest voice imaginable, his little voice sounds like an angel singing hallelujah???) which makes the contrast of his roaring at my photo very startling. He has NEVER managed to pull it down, these claws have been tested by Nugget’s claws, and they HOLD UP. 10/10 will be buying these again for every picture I need to hang. Cat tax of my orange idiot below, and the photo he loves/hates.

Okay, yes! You definitely need this. I was dreading putting up this 24x36 painting by myself because every time I tried it wasn’t level or I couldn’t mark it correctly. My painting has 2 hooks that I couldn’t for the life of me mark them straight. I wish I got this product before I made multiple large screw holes in my apartment wall lol. Pushing the hooks in with my thumbs was impossible for me, so I ended up using a wrench and a hammer (a tip I saw in another review). I held the hook steady with the wrench against the wall to prevent the hammer from smashing the hook, then hammered on the wrench. It worked like a breeze once I tried that! Only thing was, two of the markers I first used wasn’t very sticky at all on the adhesive side and wouldn’t stick to the wall. So i had to open another two which then worked. I used the 25 lb hooks for my 24x36 framed canvas painting, and they worked perfectly. Highly recommend!

Worked as expected, tough and durable. I used this to hang a deer mount with no issues.

Excellent and very easy to use except for the “spot marker” which is totally useless because as others have e mentioned, the paper doesn’t come off at all to expose the sticky side that’ll adhere to the wall. I tried two of the spot markers and it was impossible to peel the paper off without ripping off the foam.

These picture hangers are a game changer. I wish I had known about them before. Not only are they easy to install in the wall. They are equally easy to remove.. and added bonus is if you have a picture where the hooks are at the top of the frame it can be hung without the picture hanger showing above the top of the frame. A regular picture hanger would have extended about a half inch above the frame.. will definitely be buying more.
