Before, when you bought or rented a house, you quickly wanted to get a drill to hang pictures, decoration, storage accessories, etc. Later we realized that less is more and that when we wanted to remove or move something, we had to plug those horrible holes, which were not always easy to hide. Along the way, some drilled some other pipe and/or some other electrical connection and, between one thing and another, we ended up coming to the conclusion that as long as we can hang the things we want, no need to drill the wall, better than better.
In this sense, moreover, we have advanced and improved a lot because they have developed new materials and much more resistant adhesives. Among the solutions that today allow us to hang objects without perforations is the tesa adhesive nail, suitable for painted walls and plaster that supports a maximum of 2 kilos. The package with two adhesive nails and six strips costs 6.88 euros on Amazon.

Along the same lines as the previous option, also without holes, we find the transparent adhesive hooks of Kettion, the pack of 10 units costs 17.58 euros. Something that is important to check is what type of surface the adhesives or hooks without drilling that we buy are suitable for, because not all of them are valid for painted walls. Those of the image on these lines yes, adhere firmly to a wide variety of surfaces interior including: painted walls, finished wood, glass, tile, metal and other smooth surfaces.

It’s important to put attention on adhesives and “easy hangers” are not the solution for all. If we opt for them, we must be rigorous when using them, put them only on the surfaces for which they are indicated and in no case exceed the weight limit they can withstand. If we want to hang very heavy mirrors, shelves, etc. I’m sorry to report that we will continue to rely on the drill, because adhesive, suction cup, or mini nail solutions are not safe for heavy items.
