Instructions
(See instructions for brass and tremor hooks)
- Hammer the nail gently into the hook’s nail socket until the hook is flush against the wall. The raised nail socket on the hook will guide the nail into the wall at the proper 45-degree angle. Avoid overhammering as it can compromise the hook’s holding power and damage your wall.
- To remove, pull the nail back at a 45-degree angle with a slight twisting motion using fingers or soft-faced pliers. Prying it away with a screwdriver or a similar tool will often damage the wall surface.
- To reuse, ensure the nail has not been bent or deformed.
