Review on Enhance Your Indoor Lighting with Command CL806 45NA Light Strips by Erik Barela

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These foam strips are way better than duct tape

Most of the things that hang on the walls of my house are hung with command strips. I like that they are easy to apply and don't pierce the walls. Recently my son wanted to hang a lot of picture frames on the wall, so we took little packets of instruction strips and started hanging them up. The next morning half the frames were on the ground. Worst of all, all the falling footage woke my son up. He didn't sleep well and neither did I. It turns out that 3M has gone from soft foam strips to thin, double-sided, ribbon-like strips. Tape strips just didn't have the holding power that we're used to from foam strips. We've had enough of an old guy revamping his frame collection, but replacements were needed. I ordered this large pack of strips and hooks primarily for strips. I have a lot of small hooks, especially since I bought a lot of strips of tape that I can't use, but it's getting harder and harder to find small strips of styrofoam anywhere. At this point my son will double check which strips we use to hang things everywhere as he gets very offended when things fall off the wall. This pack has enough strips to last a while, at least until he decides to redecorate his room.

Pros
  • storage and organization
Cons
  • not sure
