3M Command™ Clear Mini Hooks (Set of 18)

I purchased these last month to hang up garland for Christmas. I have used these in the past and they have worked great. They must have changed the adhesive. The adhesive now is clear and thin and does not stick to anything. The ones in the past were a sticky white foam adhesive. I cleaned off the area first and let the adhesive stick for awhile. I hung up the garland and hooks came falling off! Ugh!

I bought these 3 days ago and used on a mirror behind fireplace. Followed exactly how to use and apply . Not only was the sticky part on the mirror not very sticky but after 4 hours abd barely touching the clear part that attaches came off in my hands. I even wore nitrile gloves to avoid any oil from skin. Old stock? I found a 5lb hook I bought 4 years ago with adhesive package, never used and stored in plastic bag in cool dark place. Same thing. Adhesive didn't work. And yes, service of mirror cleaned with alcohol and dry.

I like these, but 3M does not appear to offer refill backings. So these are not reusable. What a shame!

I went to use a second hook from this package, and found that ALL the adhesive is no longer sticky AT ALL. The strips are dried out and yellowed. This made me very sad because it meant I couldn't do the project I was about to do for my son's birthday. It also made me think that perhaps the first hook I installed fell off not long after I put it up NOT because it was installed in a shower bathroom... but because in fact the adhesive simply was not formulated to last. This package is NOT old at all.

I bought these for a college dorm to hand stuff up, I ended up using only one of these as I had other command strips that I found to be more useful for the things I needed to hang. I used one and decided to take it down however it ripped paint off the wall. I pulled it off just as I would any command product however unlike the others this one ripped the paint. As mentioned I used it in a dorm room meaning I’m going to be fined who knows how much because of this. I wouldn’t recommend this specific command product and now I’m going to have to pay a minimum of 30 dollars.

The adhesive on the strips is defective. It has no "stickiness". The strip just slides right off. I can't use any of them.

I bought these in the beginning of December thinking they compared to the mini white hooks. They absolutely do not. The mini white hooks I put up no problem at all, they're still holding my lights I out up 2 weeks prior to the clear ones I bought. I bought the 18/24 pack and by the time I hung up the 2nd clip, the first one fell. I then went through and prepped the spots I was going to put them. That didn't help either. In less then 2 weeks they have all fallen down and I learned my lesson not to buy the clear strips because they are NOT the same.

I bought these recently to use in my home. When I tried to apply the strip to the wall there was no adhesive on the strip. All of the strips I tried were the same way. I was not at all happy with this product. Usually Command Strips are my go to for hanging things in my house.
