Review on HeavenlyKraft Superhero Wall Mounted Metal Key Holder - Key Organizer with Metal Key Hook - 10.6 X 7.5 X 1 INCH by Kristen Simon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality seems good but not THAT easy to install

I bought this Avengers hanger and a Star Wars hanger from the same company to make a set of mask hangers on our front door. Let me just say that my daughter and I were very disappointed that we didn't have a Black Widow or other female Avenger on this hanger, but we went with this one because we needed metal and others with Black Widow seemed all wood . This and the Star Wars hooks appear to be very well made and well packaged to prevent damage. I'll learn about durability over time. He says it's easy to install, but it depends on your skill level. There were no installation instructions included. I don't know how to use it at all, but I know well enough that the plastic pieces that come with the screws are called drywall anchors, and I know enough to google how to use them properly, and most people do it seems to be said to drill holes in the wall first. . Any installation that requires a drill and drilling holes in the wall should not be considered easy. (However, for easy use, I could probably just use a screwdriver to drive the screws in without the anchors). I have a drill, but it's behind a lot of stuff, and I'm pretty sure the battery isn't charged, so after a few more YouTube videos, I grabbed a slightly larger screw than the one that came with it and screwed it into the wall to make a hole in the wall. It wasn't big enough to anchor. I only bent the anchor when I tried. So I took a drill and a rubber gripper with a can lid and used it to manually drill a hole deep enough/big enough in the wall. (I think I used a 3/16" drill bit, which worked fine by hand, but if you use a drill bit you can start with a smaller size. I bet the holes will get bigger as you use more horsepower have. Is it. :) ) . THEN I was able to drive the plastic anchor into the wall with a hammer, and THEN I used a screwdriver to drive the included screws into the wall to hold the hooks in place. It worked and looks like it can hold some weight. However, my hand hurt a little after six screws. :) First I used a wood/metal rod finder with an electric current detector to make sure there are no surprises where I put the hooks. And I used a pencil to mark where some of the holes should go. I made a small mistake on the sixth hole (the Star Wars product only needed four screws) but it was ok in the end. Maybe my stupid workarounds will help someone else install them. I would buy from this brand again. Please note that this set will require less work than the Star Wars set if you are torn between different items from this brand as this set requires two screws for each half (this Avengers only has two screws) so two . Once upon a time in Star Wars, you could mess up the propeller spacing one-to-one. :) I seem to read that Star Wars has more weight, but I'm not sure. Anyway, so far so good.
