Hercules Hook Reviews
love them!

I love these. I am a university student, so I am continually living in apartments and other places where I am not allowed to use anything larger than small picture nails in the walls. These make holes the same size ( perhaps a tiny bit larger) but safely hold a load more weight. I’ve used them successfully to hold up a heavy mirror, a coat shelf, and a medication shelf in my toilet, in addition to numerous footage and smaller items. The sole bummers about these, in my opinion, are that they only work in drywall portions of the walls (I almost need a stud finder to aviod them using these ). Also, the hook part is rather big, so some times things appear to hang farther from the wall than I am used to. HerculesHook
Works well

I actually like these for hanging small items like picture frames. You cannot use them for certain heavier items, although it claims you can. Also, your walls have to be drywall. My mummy has plaster walls and they don’t work for her. You also glaringly can’t put these into the studs. They don’t damage the walls and leave really little holes which are easily fixed once removed. I love them, but they don’t replace good old skool screws and anchors.

I wish I had walls with enough space for these to work. Some folks must, because I’ve read such good reviews. However, not me. It was very easy to bump the hook through the drywall, but there is just not sufficient space in my wall for the hook to make the turn and slide all the way in. I am extraordinarily disappointed, especially because the thing made a big hole. Far larger than a finishing nail let alone a pin!

These things do work. I bought them at a retail drug store and evaded some of the on line ordering hassles (shipping charges, incorrect credit charges ). I have used them on drywall and have not begun to hang up anything more than a 15 pound frame. So far, they’re great. Vert straightforward to install (try a back & forth screwing motion into the wall if you are having trouble getting it in ). They are much quicker than a drywall screw or molly bolt and do far less damage to your wall. We are re-doing our living room and I just bought a new pack for the pictures we intend to hang. Billy Mays got this one right.
WONDERFUL

I am a stroke survivor. With some use of left hand. Putting a nail in the wall was very unlikely with out help. I bought these before my recent move. I was stoked I was able to hang all my favourite wall items/pictures in my very own after all these years! Thank you Billy!!
WONDERFUL INVENTION!!!

I’ve hung everything from lightweight pictures to heavy epees on wooden plaques. I have sheetrock walls and they work very well in them. You just twist the hook back and forwards to get it started and voila, push it all the way through and the end that you pushed through the wall will catch against the back side of the wall. Then hang your item. The hole is small but indeed larger than any pin that I’ve ever seen. It is often simpler if you mark your spot with a pencil especially if the spot is over your head. I didn’t buy mine thru net, so I did not have any of the usual hassle with rude CSR’s and such. NOR the ridiculous shipping charges that you typically get. Buy them at a store to avoid that. Yes, I’d definitely counsel them. These hooks are amazing!
Awesome product!

I bought this product at a local retail store after seeing the infomercials. It is so simple to use and makes hanging things so easy. I had evaded hanging anything on my walls for over a year out of fear of damaging my walls. With these hooks, you don’t have to worry about using the right nail, or anchors, or any of that mess, just stick it in the wall and hang the item. The sole issue is if you hit a stud, but then you simply move over a little bit and the issue is solved. The holes are not pin sized, but they aren’t not any larger than the hole a finishing nail would leave. I bought a pack of 20, and used all but two in a single day hanging everything I had been avoiding. An grand product!HerculesHook
Love it! 5 Stars

We love this product. What more can I say. I just wish I had more. When we moved I made sure I had everybody of them to use at our new home. I had invented them.
