3M CLAW Heavyweight Hanging Solution: 5 Hangers & 5 Spot Markers

Where have you been all my life?! This is the easiest, least damaging product! I wish they made little, tiny ones for lightweight art, too. I have textured walls. Easily hung 2 mirrors by myself. Nothing’s crashed yet!

I love artwork. I hate hanging it up. Proof in point, I've had a collection of artwork I've been wanting to display in my office at work for probably 6 months and, even having discovered the 3M CLAW when I was getting frames for some of it, it's taken me this long to finally get them and to put up that artwork. I was afraid that this product could not be as good as advertised. I'm very pleased to now be able to report it is every bit as advertised. And, the first as-advertised bit is that you really don't need any tools. Certainly no hammer. Just some firm pressure and the two claws pieces do the job for you. Between the instructions, the features built into the claw, and the design of the multi-use nature of the spot markers, I found it very easy to hang up 4 pieces myself using just 1 of the 5 spot markers ... leaving me the other 4 if I ever need to move things. Took me maybe 45 minutes total (including moving furniture out of the way and moving it back). The process is surprisingly simple ... but ingeniously designed. You arrange the spot marker on the back of the piece you need to hang based on how it will be hung. You arrange the artwork on the wall and apply just enough pressure for the spot marker to adhere to the wall. Remove the artwork and make a dot at the designated spot on the spot marker. Remove the spot marker and now align that dot with the designated plate on the CLAW ... and once level, just press it in. Once in, hang the artwork. The entire process is based on just holding the artwork where you want to it be when finished ... and the spot marker and CLAW naturally "do the match" to determine where the CLAW has to be for that to happen. None of the usual headaches of having to do precise measurements and still hope you're close enough for things to look right. While 1 piece was by itself ... 3 that I hung together aligned the way I was wanting them to so that was really nice. Now that the primary pieces are in place, I can take in the rest and know how they'll have to go in relation to the initial group. A follow-up task that I now look forward to instead of dreading. Having used double-side tape or other such "wall markers" in other crude implementations of these wall spot markers, I know the overall idea isn't new. But, for 3M to be able to start off with such a crude concept and to develop a formal system combining a simple but effective spot marker with their CLAW is just amazing. And, is easily the best way I've seen yet to get something hung up easily, quickly, and accurately. The fact they have them in different weight classes is another great feature. I opted for the 25-lb set instead of the 15-lbs set because 1) I knew getting a set of the same class would be cheapest (I could get 2 packs for 10 total for less than a multi-pack of 8 total) and that 2) a 25-lb CLAW can hang anything that a 15-LB CLAW could even easier. In my case, I had one large canvas, two tall framed prints, and then 1 large all-metal print. The metal print was easily the heaviest ... but while I was certain it was less than 15 lbs, I was more comfortable doubling the weight capacity instead of being "just below" the limit. The 45 lbs or 65 lbs options would probably be fore something really heavy like a mirror or small display shelf. A great system with a lot of possibilities! Glad someone finally figured out how to make such an idea a reality!

I used the 45 lb 3M Claw to hang a round mirror in my bedroom and it worked great. It feels very secure and hasn’t moved at all. I will say, I couldn’t push it in with just my thumb like the package suggests — I did have to tap it in gently with a hammer — but it still went in easily and was much simpler than using anchors or finding a stud. Overall, I’d definitely buy these again. Package came with 4 which is a great value in my opinion.

We purchased a mirror last fall but we’re having trouble in how best to install as the location of the back hooks didn’t line up perfectly with 2 studs. We were worried about the size of hole a traditional dry wall anchor would make as we weren’t sold on wanting a mirror in this location and didn’t want to have to patch a bunch of holes. I found these and they’re incredibly easy to install. I personally had no issues just pushing with my thumbs and the holes the little claw makes is much smaller than a screw let alone drywall anchor. These claws are rated for 15lbs and my mirror is 5lb so I should be more than covered. It feels secure and like it is I’ll hold the mirror without issue.

I had two 35 pound mirrors to hang. One was rectangular 4' x 6' and the other was 4' round. There was no way to add a metal wire to hook the pictures onto. So I couldn't use conventional hooks. I tried. The conventional hooks were to wide to fully fit into the gap in the back of the mirrors. Rather than fitting in the bottom of the curve, the weight of the mirrors sat on the tip of the hooks. I saw the mirror weigh the conventional hooks down and I caught the mirrors just in time. So I resorted to the 3M Claw. I tried using the contraption to determine where the holes would go using that gray foam arrow shaped accessory that came with the claw. It was a waste of my time. I had to resort to a level, pencil and tape measure like some of the reviewers mentioned. The end result was that the mirrors hung perfectly. The hook on the 3M claw fit perfectly into the gap in the back of the mirrors. The weight of the mirrors exerts force onto the 3M Claw so the the 3M Claw becomes securely attached to the wall. It's been 3 days now and the mirrors are still up. They are level and easy to install. I was able to hand press the 3M Claw into the wall for the rectangular mirror which stood a foot off the floor. The round mirror which was 4 feet off the floor I had to use a hammer to tap it into the wall for some reason. Two brackets went easily into the wall for the rectangular mirror, while a single bracket couldn't go in by pushing it in by hand. I would recommend this product. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because the hole alignment accessory did not work properly. Maybe 3M needs to add a video showing how to use that feature.

If you’ve ever stared at a wall and thought “I just want my picture to not fall on my foot,” this 3M CLAW 15-lb drywall hanger is your new best friend. One little push, a bit of “click,” and boom — your frame is up, snug and steady, without needing to hunt for a stud or drill a hole large enough for a moon landing. I hung a large-sized, wooden framed, canvas style wall poster (well under 15 lb) and — no drama. The included spot marker was a nice bonus, saving me from measuring-and-second-guessing, and it stuck the landing right where I wanted. Best part? When the mood strikes to redecorate, you can remove and reuse these hangers — no war wounds on the drywall, no patch jobs, no stress. Verdict: cheap, clever, and actually works. Would recommend to anyone who wants walls full of art instead of holes full of regret.

Much easier and faster way to hang pictures less wall damage and hold a good bit of weight 65 pounds !!! You might not think they could support that but there design is unique to other systems

I do always use the next up capacity so the overkill gives me extra confidence. I haven't tested these at the rated capacity but these seem VERY robust. I've hung small to XL sized framed art as well as a wall clock using the 25 and 45 lbs Claws and these haven't budged at all. Will be using the next size up to hang a heavy full length mirror and I'm not worried in the least. And the marketing is legit, the holes are like pin-holes for the smaller 15/25 lbs Claws and only slightly larger for the 45/65 lbs versions. These are great wall savers particularly if you want to remove and re-install because it wasn't in the right location. I will be hanging all wall items with this from now on.

Super fáciles de usar, prácticos me encantaron !!

3M claws really easy to install although the rubber markers are a struggle to put in place as markers.

Easy to install + Easy to remove Great quality and functionality. ممتاز جدا لتعليق الصور على جدران الجبسم بورد

Absolutely amazing, works like it’s supposed to, simple to use, well thought out idea! BUT, and I don’t want to say it but buy these ones made in China……I bought these and they are amazing quality! I also bought the American made 5 pack since I needed more and it was a few $ cheaper. Once I received both packages the quality difference was confusing. The Chinese made ones are shiny, a tiny bit thicker, longer claws, etc. I was shocked to say the least. If you don’t believe me buy both sets. Regardless of the differences I will gladly use them all.

Great product. Holds up well, even heavy mirrors. Just make sure you use the right claw for the right weighted item. Rather use a 11kg for a 6kg item.
