I bought these last week and I used them the same day to hang mt dog's leashes which way a lot less than the 3lb max it says they hold. I was excited to use this product since I have used the command picture hanging strips in the past and they worked amazing. This hooks did not hold to the wall when I put a leash on them. I had three separate hooks on the wall with one leash on each hook, they all fell down. I tried a different type of wall thinking for some reason it was that wall texture, but they still fell. I followed the directions on the package exactly step by step. I am extremely disappointed in this product and would never buy them again, I also tried the general purpose plastic hooks and those failed as well. The command hooks do not work like the picture hanging strips do. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
