90 lb. White Steel Ceiling Swivel Driller Hook

So easy to assemble and install! I bought one to hang our chandelier over the kitchen table, and one for my daughter to hang a plant in her room.

Needed to center a hanging dining room chandelier and this was the easy solution. Easy to install- look at pictures to install ... clear instructions not to “screw in” until the whole head part was in the ceiling... great product... sturdy and clean finish

Super easy to install, no mess, looks fantastic, strong. Definitely over exceeded my expectations.

Super easy to install and works great!

I have a lot of hanging plants in my house and this is the only hook I use.

I bought a couple of these hooks a year or two ago and they both worked great. No issues at all and easy to install. My husband picked up another one for me this week and as I was installing it (into ceiling drywall), the toggle piece snapped right off. It hadn't even started to tighten yet so I know I didn't over-torque it. I was pretty ticked after paying $6 for it. But I did find a work around. I kept the 2 white pieces (the hook and the plate it attaches to, but used a regular metal toggle bolt assembly with it instead. I already had a giant hole in my ceiling that the toggle part fit through perfectly. So I was able to save the actual hook with a very simple swap of parts I had on hand. Just a work-around for anyone else whose toggle assembly breaks. (pic is of the toggle bolt I used with the hook)

Who says your ceilings have to look boring? I use lots of hooks and these are the only ones I use. Yes, I messed up once and broke one getting it stuck in the ceiling but I was doing it fast and not carefully. Now I know the trick is to first punch a hole with a screwdriver. I use these hooks to hang lanterns or to make pretty room dividers by hanging curtain rods, (see photo) I also used them to hang some gorgeous but very heavy wrought iron corner doorway brackets that I later hung some artificial flowers from. Any other hooks do not work in my apartment with cheap drywall ceiling. The horizontal driller is the secret.

DO NOT BUY. This item is garbage. See pictures. It split and bent sideways when initially screwing it in. I removed it and tried to straighten. Drilled a hole large enough for it (Note: instructions say no drill is needed... bull). Still bent, twisted and broke in my ceiling. Nice. Now I have a hole over my daughters crib. Thanks.

Junk. Instructions worthless. Product doesn't work like its advertised. Photo below is as far as it would go in the ceiling.

I have used this product in the past with no problem, so I disregarded all the negative reviews. That was a mistake. Either the product quality has declined markedly, or I was just extremely lucky several years ago. As others have pointed out, when you've done the initial part of screwing the whole thing into drywall, you're supposed to then insert the secondary screw that's supposed to flip over the metal piece inside the ceiling and then you screw through it until it's secure against the drywall. The metal piece does not easily flip flip. With difficulty, I was able to get it to flip. But then the hole isn't threaded properly such that the screw won't go through without a little torque. I turned the screw carefully by hand (I did not use a power driver), but the base of the brass part that embeds into the drywall doesn't have enough grip for the torque needed to turn the screw. So instead of turning the screw, the whole brass part starts to turn, starting to gouge out the hole in the ceiling. Then the brass piece just snaps off leaving the upper portion loose up in your ceiling. So at this point you have two broken pieces, one that you can't even get back out of your ceiling, and a ripped-up hole (now fairly large) that can't be used for anything. So like the other reviewers, I was left with a big patch job. I ended up going to the garden center and getting a Vigoro brand ceiling hook instead, and that worked great. In the photo you can see the snapped of base of the brass piece--all that's left after the rest snapped off and got stuck in my ceiling. It's this base part of the brass piece that is supposed to grip the drywall (and stay intact) so you can turn the screw. It's the combination of the poor threading of the screw hole and the lack of grip and strength in the brass part that causes the failure.
