These hooks are the nicest hooks I’ve ever hooked something to. We hooked plants to our patio cover with these hooks. The plants are still hanging like plants should hang after hanging them with these marvelous hooks. ?The spring holding the clamp is too stiff; it's unnecessary. It's hard to get lamp cord back out once it's in there. Given the design, that's not necessary. They're not bike locks for god's sake. The design is attractive but from a distance fails to register fully. The tails or curlicues should be more exaggerated so you can read the shape as different from an ordinary hook from say ten feet away. Send me a sample when you change it.
