Hi. What makes these "ceiling" hooks as opposed to hooks I can use in a wall? Thanks.

You can use these anywhere you please. Just be sure they get screwed into something solid. Even if used on a ceiling, they need to "bite" into the wood underneath. If you only screw them into the plaster/drywall etc. they will just pull out when a load is applied. Hope this helps.

Many uses for these hooks. I would not call them large at all; I posted photos on my review. Another thing, is I simply tapped a nail into the ceiling and screwed in the hook into the ceiling to hang a decorative flower ball. For a heavier item I suppose that would make a difference.

Nothing really. They have vinyl coating that make them excellent for hanging mugs from a cupboard or plants from a ceiling. Also check the dimensions they may be bigger then you need. They are very large if they are the same ones I purchased. I also agree with the previous response.

My only guess would be the position of the open area of the hook and ease of access.

They're like Hercules Hooks, so they are meant to work in drywall. Not sure they could pierce paneling, plus they need a hollow space behind (like drywall has) to work... Unfortunately if a stud is in the way they don't work, which I figured out pretty quickly.

I have used a lot of different command hooks but I have always used them on flat walls. Sorry :-(

Truly, i haven't seen an issue with the hooks on these. I often am not the one using the end product, though. Just assembling banners for other departments within the organization and they use them as needed. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I am using these for wall mounting not ceiling mounting. You can use these both way. Just for additional info, I am using these for Definitive Promonitor 1000, which are very heavy.

The hooks are very study so, yes, I think this would work. However, I would definitely make sure they are attached to a stud, not just drywall.

Whatever you normally would with whatever type of hanger you would use normally. The hook part is the thing that's out of the wall, so the stuff just plops onto that instead of a nail.

Assuming your ceiling is flat (parallel to the floor), I would definitely think that things would just fall off. The front end of the hook is not quite parallel with the back side that attaches to the wall - it has a taper, and if flipped 90 degrees to be on a ceiling, that would be a ramp down for objects to slide off.

I don't know. The top link is a loop, so you'd need a hook to hang from your ceiling and you'd have to figure out how to secure it.

We hung them from lights on a ceiling fan and just didn't use the fan. We tied them with slip knots. Hope this helps.

Yes, you are screwing the hooks into the ceiling and they are included. You want to be sure to screw them into a stud though. This thing is pretty heavy, especially once it's loaded.

For both ceiling and side walls you'd have to get different hooks, which are meant for just that. These are probably best for above the window.

As in previous answer, you will need to purchase different hooks. However, I know there are units from same company that sell the boards that will hang the way you want and are not as long. Amazon did not carry them but try a google search of name brand.

The Command Large Plastic Hook instructions include weight limitations. So I would think that they might possibly work on the ceiling assuming you adhere to those limitations. Good luck!

Yes the great thing about them is you can make them any length. Just make sure you have the depth. They hold a ton of weight as long as you have a good ceiling joists to anchor into. Hope this helps

I had no luck with that. I tried positioning them around the screws on our ceiling vents and one fell off within 30 minutes and I never had any luck keeping them up.

The hook doesn't come off... if you're creative you could mount a small piece of wood to hang it off the wall.
