Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hercules Hook Wall Hooks 10-pk
Customer Review: STOP! Need a 3" CLEARANCE Behind Wall & Consider Knock Off Versions
Summary: 2 Stars
The point of a drywall hook is to be able to hang something ANYWHERE on drywall. This is what Billy Mays is pushing.
Why would people BUY a drywall hook?
To avoid nails (don't want to use tools like a hammer)
To avoid big nail holes left when nail is removed (in their own homes or if rent)
To hang something on DRYWALL to avoid the big hassle drilling special nails into a cement/cement block wall
HINT: These hooks essentially work only on interior NON-insulated walls with at least a 3" clearance behind the wall. Billy Mays and the Amazon product description neglect to state these hooks NEED at least a 3" CLEARANCE behind the drywall to work=Oops! If they had, a lot of people could have avoided the product but than that would reduce profits.
That clearance requirement means the hooks don't work behind studs, on plaster walls, on walls with insulation, or on drywall with a cinder block/cement behind it (NOT go into concrete/block but people did expect the slim hook to fit between the cement & drywall) or on pocket door walls. This product does leave a hole similar in size to a nail or bigger if a lot of twisting was needed to get it in or trying to get it into a wall it can't go into. These hooks can be more difficult to twist one into a wall than it would be to just grab a hammer and nails. They also neglect to mention the hooks stick out quite a bit from the wall and not all things look good hanging from them because of this.
And this product is overpriced on Amazon. Ebay sells these galore in all amounts with laser and free shipping. Google around for better price.
That said, if you want to buy it, compare prices with the knock off versions
Knock offs are called:
1. He-Man Hooks Says EXACTLY like Hurcules Google HE-man hooks
2. Monkey Hooks Sold at Amazon (type Monkey Hooks)(have FLUSH mount also) purchase at monkeyhook dot com, Home Depot ACE Hardware, Harbor Freight Tools, True Value and Do-It-Best stores
The company emailed me and said "all Monkey Hook varieties are designed to work on 1/2" or 5/8" drywall where there is no stud. That's the only way we test the products. There should be 3" of clearance behind the drywall for our product to work."
3. Super Hook Sold at Amazon (type Super hook or Super hook No Tools Needed! Holds up to 80 lbs.!
4. Express Hookz Set of 12 Multi-Purpose Drywall Hooks This one a different looking but same concept
5. Hero Hooks
Google "DRYWALL hooks" or "drywall clips" for more knock offs.
Description of Hercules Hook Wall Hooks 10-pk
The Hercules Hook is the easiest way to hang pictures, mirrors, shelves just about anything. Easy to install just twist, push and turn! No more drilling or pounding to try to find a stud - No more damaged walls! The reinforced steel design provides the muscle to hang and hold up to 150 lbs. Great for plaster, drywall or paneling. Twist, Push, Turn. Pick a point on the wall where you want the bottom of the hook to sit. Then, measure ¼" directly above that point and set the tip there.Next, with firm forward pressure, twist the hook back and forth (like a key) until you have chiseled through the wall. Now turn the hook upward and push completely into the wall until only the hook is exposed.Hardware
