Picture Hooks (60 PCS) Picture Hanging Kit Assorted Picture Hanging Hooks Non-Trace Hard Wall Hanger Hook White Picture Hanger Set

I've got those type of really old, really hard walls where you drill a hole and suddenly you're left with a hole you can fit 3 fingers in and you're getting the polyfilla out nearly EVERYTIME. I procrastinated so much I went nearly 3 years with my pictures stacked in a pile.Enter these beasts. They are one of my best purchases to date.You need to be careful not to hit the hook putting them up but they are super simple to install. Few firm taps with the hammer, hook is in and firm and the picture goes up. It takes less than a minute.I wish I'd discovered these years ago, oh the angst they would have saved.I still have to drill for heavy items such as solid wood large pictures or mirrors but the rest... piece of cake now!UPDATE 2 ish years later: I needed to remove a hook or two to move pictures and was a bit wary as some reviews said they left damage. I'm happy to report, my crappy walls didn't lose any chunks upon removal, even the wallpaper stayed intact!I removed two with a stiff metal wallpaper scraper, it was the thinest flat wide blade I had. Slide the flat blade up under the hook and VERY slowly ease it away from the wall by levering the blade back and forth firmly with occasional side tilt. Move the scraper up into the gap as the hook moves away from the wall and keep slowly levering. You can pull the hook forward slightly with your fingers to help this. Is recommend putting something to protect the wall behind the scraper if your wall is delicate, credit card perhaps? Anyway, the hook body will start coming away from the wall and you can either grab the edges with pliars or continue levering around with the blade. Either way, both mine came out easily and only left the barely noticeable tiny pin holes from the pin nails. Result!For the hooks that are still in the walls, all are firmly intact, not gone brittle and no pictures have dropped so these are still one of my best buys this decade.Here I am writing oodles picture hooks, I think I need to live a more exciting life!

Used on plaster and brick wall. All pins were easy to drive into wall and secure to hang various pictures…light and heavy. Happy with purchase

These picture hooks are good for hanging pictures good

These hooks work well for me. The nails aren't very long (there are more nails, to compensate) so will nail into plastered walls without reaching the bricks behind the plaster. I've started using them as my 'go to' picture hooks.I find it odd that it says these are not suitable for use on stud walls. I've used these on our plasterboard walls with no problem at all. They seem to work better than the 'brass nail and hook' hooks. But, maybe I've just been lucky.

So easy to use on a solid or partition wall. Sturdy and holding a heavy picture no problem.Would definitely recommend them. No more fiddling about with a spirit level! Value for money and different hooks sizes in the pack.

so easy to use

Good value

These steel-pinned picture hooks are fairly easy to hammer into the wall and work well, but it’s important to understand that they work only with hard brick or stone walls and are not appropriate for plasterboard or cavity walls, where they will not last ten seconds if you try to hang even a lightweight picture on them.Once you understand those limitations, this is a very good product, a secure fixing into a solid brick wall which will hold up an impressive range of items - picture, wall clock, mirror or other wall art – so long as you follow the manufacturer’s weight limit recommendations for each size.Occasionally an item - a large picture for example - seems to hang securely, but within a few weeks the weight of the picture & frame will cause the pins to gradually work loose from the wall and the item will come crashing down; this can be alarming when it happens in the middle of the night when you’re all asleep. It’s best to underestimate the weight the hooks will bear, rather than be too optimistic.It’s not true BTW that the sharp steel pins holding these hangers to the wall may be removed without leaving any marks on the surface of the wall: they will leave holes, and more marks besides if you’re too enthusiastic when hammering them in.
