Command hooks are eating the world.
It’s the tradwife attack on the built environment

My wife is addicted to them. I still haven’t quite figured out how/when to use them
Me: well, this home improvement project calls for an Arduino, a miter saw, and 2 custom 3d printed parts
Wife: already done with a command hook, why don’t you take out the trash instead?
Me: 🤬

For those who came in late, these are plastic hooks that attach/detach cleanly to walls using a custom 3M adhesive. It’s pretty strong and surprisingly general purpose. You wouldn’t expect so many problems to be solved with hooks. Turns all walls into pegboards basically.

It’s the low-code/no-code of home improvement. The Excel of hardware.

Love them but they have this bizarre behaviour of sticking and never moving or falling off within weeks

I use them a lot but I don’t like them. I use them most when I lack a man to hang things properly for me.
