I was tired of trying to find a place to put my children's backpacks, so I bought the General Purpose Utility Hooks. I am currently renting a home and don't want to put any holes in the walls and these were the perfect solution. I bought 2 hooks that would hold up to 3 lbs and 1 hook that would hold up to 5 lbs. They solved my organization problem perfectly. I no longer trip over backpacks on the ground or knock them off the back of our dining room chairs. We have also used them to hang wet snow clothes and jackets. When we move, we won't leave any holes in the walls and, best of all, I can take them with me!
