I work for a company that professionally installs seasonal decorations. We greatly rely on a variety of 3M Command products. We have used the cheaper sticky hooks and we usually return because they failed to hold client decorations. We quickly replace the failed product with a 3M Command product because they are reliable. Not only did cheaper products fail, they often left a nasty residue on surfaces. That can be avoided because 3M Command products rescue surfaces since they do not leave any evidence of ever being present in the first place. 3M Command products also save us money since we do not have to return to jobs, fix clients property because of hardware, and we can recycle hooks for next time.
