I have these hooks all over my apartment... I just don't use them the way they came. The adhesive part really disappointed me, it took off a chunk of plaster with the paint in my sons room... then in other places the hooks just fall off (I add super glue... shhh... don't tell the landlord). I have these hanging on the insides of my kitchen sink holding my bottle brush and dish rags. They're hanging on the sides of my cabinets that border my stove and hold my pot holders and measuring cups. I have one on the side of my dishwasher that I use to hold the hoses upright when not in use. Basically, I only use these in places that are okay to add superglue (tile, my personal items, and unfinished wood). The regular adhesive is too strong on paint, but not strong enough on tile, wood, or metal.

I don't want to completely give them a bad rep... I can't see how they could possibly still be in production if they always ripped pain and plaster off of the wall. It might be that my lanlord did a really crappy job of painting/plastering. I also can't completely blame them for the whole "not sticking" thing. It might be that the things I was trying to hang were beyond the weight limit. However, unfortunatley for 3M this website is called Viewpoints... and my Viewpoint is that the product they made doesn't hold up in my situation. Maybe it will for you?
