You won't find a stronger hold than these! I've purchased them multiple times. They hold more weight than you think - which is already a lot. I've only used them in the bathrooms (tile and glass) so I can't speak to using them on a painted wall. As far as durability, you will sleep peacefully with these hooks knowing your shelves (loaded with big shampoos) aren't going to fall down.
I noticed that some reviews mentioned that they are hard to remove. As I mentioned, they do their job well so it takes a small amount of effort to remove them (Note: they are not reusable so removal is intended when you no longer want to use them).
This is speaking for tile and glass - the removal instructions say to use a hair dryer to heat them up. I tried this for the first one, I kept it on high and held it for several minutes. Wouldn't budge. Eventually the corner was melted a bit so I tried pulling it, and it ripped off the tiniest piece. That was only the top layer, so there was a sticky gooey mess underneath. I don't know how much the hair dryer was helping versus hindering, but it took me 25 minutes to get it off. It was a cycle of tearing a tiny piece, dealing with the goo underneath that did NOT want to come off at all, and continuing. The middle circle was by far the most difficult part to remove. It was stuck on there and didn't want to come off. I had to spend quite some time getting all the residue left behind. At that moment I was regretting buying so many because I couldn't possibly spend that mu h time removing each one (I got bigger shelves so I was removing the current ones and putting the new shelves in a different corner).
The second one I removed, I ditched the hair dryer. I was so frustrated that I thought there has to be a better way. I had a 75 cent plastic putty scraper from Walmart. They have various sizes but I had the 1 inch one already. (Note: if you done have a putty scraper, just use a credit card.) I sprayed Goo Gone at the top of the second hook, used the putty scraper to get into a corner, put Goo Gone in that corner ...and did that for only a MINUTE AND A HALF, and the whole thing was off. Goo Gone, Putty Scraper, Goo Gone, Putty Scraper, Goo Gone, Putty Scraper. Now I was mad that I didn't think about that sooner. Ditch the removal instructions it came with and use this method. It was so much faster I couldn't believe it - the kicker is that it pulled up the sticky goo with the putty scraper so I had zero residue. This is the only way I'm removing these from now on.
10/10 for hold strength, 0/10 for recommended removal method, 100/10 for removal process with Goo Gone
