The correct size for small Command hooks, this refill pack is good value for money. The adhesive pads are the same as those with the initial hooks, so are easy to use/remove. A good idea to have some if you want to re-site Command hooks.

In a nutshell, the white strips outperform the clear strips because their thicker design reduces potentially damaging user error upon removal. Further, big projects takes less time to complete using the white strips rather than the clear ones, because they can be used to hold things much sooner after they've been positioned on the wall.I had some clear cord clips that I was using for a very large project (). Even though the clips came with extra strips (2 extra per 10 clips), the project required about 90 clips and took several days to complete. I had never used Command products before, and at first I was wasting a lot of strips experimenting. So, I severely misjudged the, "waste factor," and ordered a this pack of refills to have on hand. Of course, as the project took form I got better with planning (or something) and became less wasteful.I had a premature senior moment (I'm not THAT old) and accidentally ordered these white strips instead of the exact replacement, which would have been . Later I was glad that I had made the mistake, because I learned that the white strips perform better than the clear strips do. Let me explain.The white ones adhere more quickly (shorter setting time before usage) and yet once cured, they are removed more easily and with less potential for damage. Unfortunately, I tried to remove one of the adherent (meaning one that was stuck to the wall for many hours before its 1st use) that had been secured to the wall with a clear adhesive strip and I wasn't careful enough. I pulled the tab at a very slight angle away from the wall (WHICH IS VERY CLEARLY INADVISABLE ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS), and it removed a small chip of paint with it - my fault not the product's. The white ones are easier to remove without accidentally pulling at an angle because they are spongy and thicker (like regular double-stick foam tape) so they start out a few mm from the wall. Hard to describe, but the clear stips are flatter (like double-stick Scotch Tape), and thus lie flatter on your wall. Unless you are VERY careful, it's difficult to pull absolutely against the wall. Tweezers, or some such tool, might help there.Note about, "curing time," : The directions that came with the clear hooks/clear strips combo instruct the user not to use the clips to hold anything until they have been stuck to the wall for at least 1 hour. My specific, albeit odd, application actually required the adhesive to set 3-6 hours before I could really use the clips. I suspect that this is because I was using the clips to tension the wires they were securing, thus requiring them to hold fast under torque (the wire had to curve around doorways and such). So, I've named that 3-6 hour time frame, "curing time." When switching to the white adhesive strips, I didn't re-read their assumed similar directions, and found that they could withstand my torque application at curing times less than the suggested 1 hour.

These are great for traveling! I use the small Command hooks in hotels and short-term rental accommodations for hanging things like kitchen tools, oven mitts, shower items, etc. that I want to be able to remove when we leave. The strips allow me to remove our personal items without leaving behind any damage to walls or tile. It's easy to order the strip refills and use the hooks over and over again.
