Ratings & Reviews for Style Selections 2.16-in White Powder-coated metal Plant hook(s)

Unable to use out of the box

I don’t write many reviews. This flaw is infuriating to figure out and I don’t want anyone else to waste their time like I did. If using the toggle bolt in normal 1/2” drywall ceiling to hold a small basket, the threaded rod will not screw in all the way and the hook will not be tight to the ceiling. It is tapered, i.e. the toggle bolt thread and the hook thread are slightly different diameters. The solution is to cut off about 5/8” of the “hook” side of the threaded rod with a Dremel or ot...

Great Universal Hook

Just stopped in to check store availability. We have used a dozen of these hooks. Installed inside in with 3/8" swag mounts (size is stamped on the toggle) in hollow ceiling areas with no issues. We have hanging plants and lights, thanks Maryland for building houses with switched outlets in bedrooms instead of ceiling lights. We used the screws in windows without drilling, be careful to turn at the base to prevent breaking the hooks. None of the things hanging are over 25 lbs. Headed to Lowe's a...

Needs to be re-tightened often; breaks easily

As the title says. Having to re-tighten, and sometimes replace, these hooks every month really makes them a hassle.

Holds Plants as Designed

I have bought 4 or 5 of these recently and hung numerous plants. All screwed into studs, some pre-drilled, some not. All of them work as designed and I have experienced no failures. 4 stars because the packaging was damaged on almost all of them, making me pick through the box at Lowe’s to retrieve all the parts.

wear gloves when you install

three times now, while hand-tightening into the facia board of the house, the tip has broken off the hook. Same place, same way, which renders it useless. I pre-drilled and this is going into soft, pine wood. First time it happened, left me with a nice cut on the inside of my index finger. I'd say there might be a quality issue with the forming of these things.

I thought it was just fine

Perfect for the price; my only complaint was that I had to guess at the size hole to drill for the toggle bolt, as it didn't seem to be marked anywhere. No issues with the hook or the installation.

Fragile

These seem to be made out of pot metal. I too drilled pilot hole and when screwing hook in by hand into 1/4 inch roughtex trim board, the paint on the hook chipped and the tip broke off. Install with caution.

Garbage

I bought two of these and managed to break both while screwing them in after drilling pilot holes. Total waste of money.
