I can't find the large strips sold sepapratly anywhere. You can only get the strips with a purchase of the hooks? How come? Give me a break! I have no need for any more hooks. A company like yours - it shouldn't be a problem. If they are sold, please advise me where I can purchse them.
A dissatisfied customer.

I am a college student and I needed a few extra hooks in my closet so I got the Command Utility Hooks. The greatest thing about these hooks is that they do not require drilling holes, and you can take them off fairly easily without damaging the surface. The hooks, however, can be a bit small depending on what they are used for.

I used them on the doors of my closet. It is made of the synthetic stuff that looks like wood and, since it was fairly new and the surface was smooth and clean, I did not need to clean it with rubbing alcohol. I just wiped it with wet paper towel and let it dry for a few minutes. You just apply the adhesive strip on the back of the hook and push hard onto the surface you need it to be on for 30 seconds. You have yourself a convenient hook! I bought these mainly to hang my ties and my towel, but I found that the hook is deep but not wide enough (it doesn't stick out that much). I can barely hang my towel. I would say it would work very well with hanging objects by its string or stuff that is not very thick (picture frames, plastic bags, etc.)

Overall, if you need a quick and convenient hook that does not require drilling a hole in the wall, this is the one. You can also remove it without damaging the surface. However, while it holds up to 5 pounds, the hook may be a bit for some occasions.

I have used these for years, and many of the hooks lasted that long! They have never damaged the wall when removed. The only time one damaged a wall was when I seriously overloaded the hook, it pulled the layer of paper off of the drywall. They didn't work on a wall with a glazed faux finish, but they have held on every other wall except a tile one behind the stove. (I think the heat did them in.) Try the other Command Adhesive products, too -- especially the Velcro picture hangers.

Command hooks are always good to have around the house. Plus when you need to find an item for $2-$3 to get free shipping, these fit the bill!

The sticky strips that come with these hooks really hold on, and then remove easily and cleanly if you need them to. I have bought quite a few Command Hooks because they have the ONLY self-adhesive strips that have never failed me, unlike the foam-backed ones that ALWAYS fail, eventually.
