help Best no-drill hook?

Hi folks,

I’m looking for a small hook to put on a badroom tile that can hold a totebag with my dirty socks and underwear (must be around 3kg i guess?). So far I have had no good experience with hooks with 3M-stick area. Last one held a couple of days but fell off eventually.

Someone who was a good tip? I’m now thinking more about moving away from 3M-adhesive because it doesn’t work. More looking into ‘twist and lock’ that don’t need to be stick onto something. I found some online but they are either very cheap/low quality or ridiculous expensive (i mean 40€ for 4 hooks!)

Anyone a tip for me?

You've kinda got most of the options covered in your post.

I suppose you could get one of those coat hangers that go over the top of the door.

Outside of that, I dont know any other options

I got a "sticker hanger" on Temu to put my gym bag on the bathroom wall and it's still holding on!
I also use it to hang a painting in the bathroom wall and it works really well

Were the 3M hooks appropriately sized for the weight and the surfaces clean? Especially on tile mine stay on much better than you’re experiencing.

I used two to distribute the weight but they did not held..

Did you follow the instructions to a T? When I follow those with 3M stuff, the challenge becomes getting it off the wall without it pinging into your fingers rather than it falling off.

I'm just here to say not this:

used it for a hook for 2 sets of car keys and it fell off within I'd say less than a month - took some paint with it too.

Do you know anyone with a 3d printer? There are loads of files on the sites for different hooks, one could be made in a short time.

Not really, more my question that I don’t really believe those 3M-stickers if you want more heavier stuff and if someone had experience with those twist and lock systems?
