Hercules Hook Reviews
love them!

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

I truly like these for hanging little items like picture frames. You can not use them for certain heavier items, even though it claims you can. Also, your walls have to be drywall. My mother has plaster walls and they do not work for her. You also obviously cannot put these into the studs. They do not damage the walls and leave extraordinarily miniscule holes which are simply fixed once removed. I love them, but they do not replace good old skool screws and anchors.

I wish I had walls with enough space for these to work. Some people must, because I have read such good reviews. However, not me. It was so easy to push the hook thru the drywall, but there is not sufficient space in my wall for the hook to make the turn and slide all the way in. I am very disappointed, especially because the thing made a big hole. Far larger than a finishing nail far less a pin!
Thumbs Up on the Hooks

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

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

I’ve hung everything from light photographs to heavy epees on wooden plaques. I have sheetrock walls and they’re employed well in them. You twist the hook back and forth to get it started and voila, push it all the way thru and the end that you pushed thru 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 have ever seen. It is often simpler if you mark your spot with a pencil particularly if the spot is over your head. I didn’t buy mine via internet, so I did not have any of the common trouble with rude CSR’s and such. NOR the stupid delivery costs that you usually get. Buy them at a store to avoid that. Yes, I might definitely counsel them. These hooks are amazing!
Awesome product!

I acquired this product at a local retail store after seeing the infomercials. It’s so simple to use and makes hanging things so simple. I had avoided hanging anything on my walls for more than a year out of fear of damaging my walls. with these hooks, you do not have to fret 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 just move over a little bit and the issue is solved. The holes are not pin sized, but they aren’t not any bigger than the hole a finishing nail would leave. I acquired a pack of twenty, and used all but two in twenty four hours hanging everything I had been avoiding. An incredible product!
Love it! 5 Stars

We love this product. What else 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 just wish I had invented them.
