3M Reviews 

I can't say that I'm more than upset using these 3M command strips I had my house painted six months ago decide to use the strips instead of nails after 3 months then decided to remove straps and put up a different picture and it peeled the paint right off the wall!! Now I have to RePaint 2 rooms which is very costly!! I will never buy anything from 3 M again and it pisses me off that I have to spend extra money because of their crappy merchandise 😡😡

3M Command Strips outdoor light clips | for outdoor use, need to be made more durable with heavier material due to climate/weather changes outdoor. Clips held up a few days but have been falling off since…..need more adhesive applied.

pulled the plaster off when tried to remove. used them so i didn’t need to redecorate when i move, should have just used a screw would have caused less damage. .

Ne colle pas, fixations totalement désséchées.
5€ pour quelques attaches transparentes pour des guilandes pas une n'a pu être utilisée

I cannot believe that I didn’t learn my lesson after the first picture fell. I bought “stronger” options and am now 3 pictures and frames worse off. Terrible terrible product. Do not buy under any circumstances.

Absolutely useless…ruined 2 x pictures of mine now one of which is irreplaceable. I am so angry that I fell for the hype and marketing. 3M you should be ashamed of yourselves for making and marketing such a crap product.

Use these every year and they are usually great. This year whatever has changed in the glue the product is completely useless. They are expensive to buy so I am extremely disappointed and won't be buying again

Bought these to put up some basic Christmas lights and 11 used so far and won't even hold the weight of some basic lightweight fairy lights avoid at all costs

They do not stick, waste of time and money. Don't look at the amazon reviews as they're all lies. I'd recommend gorilla or no more nails, they work!

Putting up my garland and theyvwont stick used them last year so something must have changed as my whole display has just fallen. Won't by again what a waste of 3 large packets

They simply don’t work

I followed the command strip instructions to the letter and they just don’t work stick to the wall, very disappointing product, would give them 0/5 if I could

Puse las pegatinas con los ganchos y se cayeron a los 10 minutos sin peso puse unas perchas vacías de plástico
Al final puse una pegatina chiná y funciona me parece un timo cobrar cerca de 5 euros por algo que no cumple con lo que pone en la caja

We chose to use command strips instead of using nails as we had recently re-plastered the wall. We used strips that hold up to 7kg but they would not hold our 8x10 frames which weighed nothing. All frames had 3 strips each. They would not stick to the wall and even fell off. When they fell off they pulled the paint off with them when the package says damage free. Would not recommend, more hassle than it’s worth.

Utter crap, don't waste your money.

Would give zero stars, but this wasn’t an option.
I’m not shocked to read all the negative reviews about this appalling company.
They have absolutely changed something from the command strips. I used some years back as those pictures are still happily on my walls unlike my recent ones.
I’m hugely out of pocket from spending hundreds of pounds on smashed frames replacement command strips damaged paint worked & dented units. Despite several emails to the company showing photographic evidence and filling in their ridiculously long forms, I have been advised there is no issue in this is something I have done.
Haven’t used these before I know exactly how to use them. It’s not rocket science and I followed their instructions.
I placed the strips on the back of the picture frames and the strips on the wall which I left for 24 hours to bond. The picture stay up for sometimes minute sometimes hours sometimes days but eventually always fall off. I use larger strips than necessary for the weight of the frame. One of their questions was very badly worded asking if I removed the frames once the picture was on the wall I replied stating once the command strips have bonded after several hours I do not remove the frames again. Let’s face it I don’t have a need to because they fall off on their own accord.
I’m so disappointed as for me, they seemed a great idea. 3M responses are poor with no explanation of why this is happening. They just repeat the same sentence that they have already responded saying it is not their product but they are unable to answer what it is and why this keeps happening.
My genuine advice is avoid this product and save your money. I am hundreds of pounds out of pocket with damage caused to beautiful pictures my units and the walls.

Not worth it - use an actual nail or screw.
I used the heavy duty strips with the associated command nail to hang picture frames on the wall. Most are fine but two fell and smashed. All prepped in the same way but the two that fell came from a seperate batch. Clearly faulty but when i contacted 3m they just wriggled out of it - making loads of excuses and caveats and stating they recommend cleaning the area with alcohol first to be effective...and use of anything else wont work. Utter rubbish - despite all other picture frames from other batches being fine with treatment using soap and water. 3m refused any suggestion the batch might be faulty - awful customer service and unreliable product. Don't bother.

Absolute rubbish, used the 2.5kg ones to hang a very sentimental picture frame, fell off the wall and smashed within seconds, picture frame is irreplaceable, I'm devastated

These used to be amazing I have had one up for ceiling Xmas decs for a decade atleast. I hang my hair dryer on another and have two mirrors in the hall that hang up with them .

They used to be quite hard to get hold and where pricey now you see them everywhere and not as expensive, BUT now DONT bother BUYing they are rubbish, won’t hold up tissue paper . DONT WORK
/DONT BUY

We put eight heavy duty strips on one light weight item and off the wall it fell.

AVOID you are wasting your money as they simply don’t work have just thrown away £20 worth

If I couldn't give a 0 review I would. We used the heavy duty strips to hang picture frames on the wall in the space of a week one fell off and the frame smash and then today another one fell off the wall and hit me on the head causing me to pass out and require medical attention. I will not be using this product again and suggest anyone purchasing this product be very careful when using them.

Warning: Risk to Consumers with Sensitive Skin – No Testing or Warnings from 3M

Comment:
My daughter suffered a serious and life-changing skin injury after wearing the 3M 6100 half-face respirator – a product marketed at the time as ‘hypoallergenic’, but which is made from consumer-grade TPE, a material not sold or recommended for prolonged skin contact without testing.

3M have now confirmed that they do not test this product for skin biocompatibility, and it is sold to consumers with no skin sensitivity warnings.

This mask was supposed to protect my daughter, but instead caused permanent facial damage. She is an acclaimed artist and does not want to be publicly associated with her injuries – which is why I am speaking out anonymously, as her parent.

3M have told us that she is “the only known case in the world” to suffer such harm. I find that extremely hard to believe, given that over 60% of the UK population experience sensitive skin or allergies.

If you or someone you know has had a reaction to this or a similar product, please visit or contact Skin Safety Watchdog on Facebook. We are trying to raise awareness and gather evidence to push for proper testing and clear warnings on face masks sold to the public.

This should never have happened – and it must not happen to someone else.
