These command strips do not work. They are supposed to be able to hold a decent amount of weight and they can barely hold up my Christmas garland without it coming crashing down. Also, ripped the paint off of my walls.

I am a renter and try to do as little to damage my walls as possible. I purchased the 4lb Clean Hooks to hang our stockings on this year. They held great. Then it came time to remove them and they would not come off. My husband and I both were pulling the tab down to remove it and it wouldn't budge. The next time we tried the tab completely ripped off, leaving the hook secured to the wall with no way to remove it. I tried another, we hung four, and the next would not move as well. I pulled the tab and even tried using my nail under the tab between the wall to separate it. It came off, along with about 3 inches of the wall. After feeling completely defeated I waited about a week to attempt the next one. The tab did not work, again, I tried using a knife under it and got about halfway under it before it ripped the paint off again. I use command hooks all over my house. I don't know what it is about this particular type but don't use them. I now have a wall that is the first thing you see when you enter my home that looks horrible and one single hook at the top that I haven't had the strength to try to remove yet.

Hung a small Chrsitmas wreath, much less than 4 lbs it lasted 24 hours. Fell off a well prepped / cleaned with isopropyl alcohol window smashing ornaments.

I hung my Christmas wreath on this hook without checking the weight so it fell down. Can I get another set of hanging strips to try again with a lighter weight wreath? I would appreciate a reply by email. Thanks.
