Not as strong as I thought they'd be

When you feel the magnets in your hand they feel like they're strong like the description says. I tried to hang a light jacket on 1 and it instantly slid down the door all the way to the floor. I even tried using 3 of the magnetic hooks evenly spaced to hold my light jacket but it didn't help. They're supposed to hold 28 pounds. I know that jacket weighs less than 10 pounds. If that was the only issue I wouldn't be so disappointed in them. However, the hook screws into the magnet base and there's obviously not exactly a lot of quality control checks. Out of the 10 hooks at least 2 won't screw into any of the bases. (While I did double check the 2 hooks to see if they'd fit into any of the bases, I haven't checked the rest of the hooks to make sure that they'll screw into the magnet base.) I had planned on using the hooks on the back of my steel front door to hold hats, scarves, gloves, and light jackets that are frequently used, and for occasional guests, along with random artistic signs. The magnets do hold thin gloves, ball caps, and a knit cap, but they barely hold my thin polar fleece infinity scarf. I don't know why it barely holds the infinity scarf. It weighs less than the knit cap. I was able to hang an open jacket that's about as thin as a t-shirt, as long as I balance it exactly so, and I only open/close my front door gently. I haven't tried to hang any of my signs on the door using the magnetic hooks because I don't want anything to break. I will say that I have been able to hang a Christmas stocking on the outside of my steel front door. Much to my surprise it's never fallen. It's withstood the recent winter storm, includingthe high winds. (Though that may have more to do with the orientation of my front door, and the fence that blocks off my courtyard.) I was honestly surprised that the magnet held up when it got down to 7°F with a real feel of -5°F.Overall, they're meh. Outside of the deformed screw ends of the hooks, the magnetic hooks will hold a child's cap, a basic cooking utensil, a small pot holder, etc. Don't expect them to hold a coat, not even a child's coat. I definitely wouldn't use them to hang anything breakable or valuable. I can't exactly say that I'd recommend them, but I can say that I don't foresee me buying them again.

Pros
  • These have a good strong magnet! I put them on the side of my tool chest to hang things.
Cons
