Monkey Hooks Lowes (2024)

FAQs

Are monkey hooks any good? ›

I'm very happy with these. The holes they make are small but the hooks definitely seem to be sturdy. I was able to hang up a large canvas print with a homemade frame in mere minutes and it's not budging. No tools were needed other than the step ladder to get my short body up high enough to insert the hooks.

"Installs into drywall by hand in seconds. For most items, up to 35lbs on residential (1/2”) drywall, or 50lbs on Commercial (5/8”) drywall."

Customers like the hooks, saying they are very secure and can hold even heavy items. They also appreciate the value for money, saying it's much more cost effective than 3M hooks. Customers also like that the hook leaves a very small hole in the wall.

Monkey Hook products are designed exclusively for use on 1/2" and 5/8" drywall (also known as sheetrock or wallboard) where no stud exists, and designed for loads which hang down directly from bottom of 'cradle' (see illustration).

Gorilla Grade® Monkey Hook® is made of thicker steel so it holds up to 40% more weight. The weight bearing ability of this product is up to 50 lbs per hook, designed for use on all Residential or Commercial-Grade Drywall. To hang something extremely large or heavy like a 10 lb. mirror would simply require 2 hooks.

Monkey Hooks and Gorilla Hooks are an easy way to hang shelving, pictures, and other wall art using pocket holes in the back of the frame. To hang projects flat against the wall, I use a product called Monkey Hooks, which simply push through drywall, supporting up to 35 lb.

A: Using a pair of needle nose pliers, grab the part that is sticking out of the wall and turn about a quarter turn. You should then be able to pull out the hook easily.

There are a few potential causes for not being able to get your Monkey or Gorilla Hook into the wall. Sometimes, drywall is just stubborn and rotating your hook as you apply pressure helps. As you rotate, also work the hook a bit side to side. This motion helps the hook get through any insulation.

For pictures that weigh between 5 and 20 pounds, a good option is plastic drywall anchors and for pictures between 20 and 50 pounds, you can use a metal wall anchor or make sure to use a wall stud. For anything heavier, or a good all around solution for hanging multiple pictures, use a rail cable hanging kit.

Yes, even on plaster (though you could drill a tiny pilot hole to make it easier).

Are monkey hooks renter friendly? ›

Monkey Hooks are ideal for hanging larger, heavier items with little to no hassle or mess! Just because you're a renter, don't be afraid to put items up on your walls!

A monkey's fist or monkey paw is a type of knot, so named because it looks somewhat like a small bunched fist or paw. It is tied at the end of a rope to serve as a weight, making it easier to throw, and also as an ornamental knot.

To avoid damaging drywall or the objects you're trying to hang, invest in drywall anchors. Use expansion, hollow-wall, or toggle anchors by pre-drilling a hole, inserting the anchor, then securing the object to the drywall by driving a screw into the anchor.

Round bend trebles are popular with topwater baits where fish just slash at a bait. A thicker wire gauge treble hook is desired when fishing for big fish. A lighter gauge will bend out easier under load. So if you are going for big bass or other big fish, make sure you use a 2X to 4X gauge hook.

They're especially good for people who struggle with the strength of their grip, like beginners or people with hand injuries, wrist injuries, or conditions and can prevent calluses and blisters. Weightlifters who do deadlifts, shrugs or heavy rows will find lifting hooks helpful, as well.

Circle Hooks and Their Advantages

This makes circle hooks a much more humane and sustainable method of fishing, as the fish are less likely to be injured, and the hooks are more likely to be released if the fish is not kept.
