VELCRO Brand Extreme Lock Fasteners | Heavy Duty Snap-Lock Technology | Self-Engaging and Multidirectional Use | 3in x 1in Black Strips | 4 Sets

These Velcro brand alfa-lok u2122 strips are by far the strongest holding 1 inch wide by 3 inches long velcro strips I have ever dealt with. They are rated up to a holding capacity of 10 lbs, meaning whatever you might hang with these can weigh up to ten pounds, which can be a myriad of items from the heaviest picture frame ever to using it in your shop for keeping your favorite wrench at arms length on the wall, when there is not a hole in the tool to hang it from a nail. The main use I believe would be an almost permanent mounting of an item to a wall, as the velcro takes a little effort to join the two strips together till they make a snapping noise, and once joined it is hard to get them apart again. That is a plus though as it means the two velcro sides have little chance of coming apart. The velcro strips are made for extreme weather conditions so lots of uses outside such as hanging security cameras without drilling holes in your house. For illustrative purposes I mounted my office cell phone to the wall by my desk with the strips and I just use the speakerphone, without removing phone from wall. Keeps my phone from being lost in all the bills on my desk! "Siri" keeps my phone hands free by dialing for me. Best secretary ever! Best velcro strips ever also.

I have a 115volt terminal strip that I have been trying to attach to the underside of my Garage door opener for months. I have tried double sided tape as well as several other tape products and they all let go after a few weeks. I have had that terminal strip attached with this Velcro strip for a month now and it is still solid. I am so pleased with this stuff and I am sure I will find other applications.

If you are like me, you've been annoyed by the performance of Velcro when used in harsh conditions. For starters, the hook side of the Velcro strips does not differentiate between the loop side of the strips and any other object it can latch onto. After a short while, any exposed section of the hook side of the strip will get clogged with a variety of debris. Often that does not matter because the adhesive is not good enough to stick to anything unless it is under optimum circumstances. Well, that problems are a thing of the past with the new Alpha Lok system. Instead of a hook strip and a loop strip, you now have two identical strips with what looks like little letter "T" spikes. You can see this in the picture I loaded of the back of the package (it was too small for me to take a photo of the actual strip). This design picks up virtually no fuzz or unwanted debris. They only thing that the Alpha Lok system connects to is another section of the Alpha Lok system. It is a beautiful thing indeed. Now add in the industrial strength adhesive used to hold the strip in place and you have a near perfect near permanent solution. The only marginally negative associated with this product is that it is slightly thicker than your old style traditional Velcro. This stuff is a must have for every home tool kit.

VELCROu00AE Brand ALFA-LOKu2122 1 X 3 Strips, 4 Sets 8 Pieces is a useful tool to attach objects having smooth surfaces together where a need to easily separate the two objects exists. This Velcro is of high quality and sticks solidly to clean smooth surfaces. The holding power of the two Velcro pieces is quite good and with a slight tug the two parts will separate when the need exists. Next I describe two such examples that I found to be useful I used a strip of this Velcro to attach an entry gate remote control to the instrument panel of my automobile. See photo #1 Instrument Panel. By attaching the remote to the instrument panel it became a part of my automobile instrument panel controls. This provided a known location and easy access of the remote control when needed to open the community gate while seated in my automobile. By using Velcro to attach the remote control I can easily detach the remote control from my car when walking or biking and I need to open the gate for entry or exit passage. My cordless screwdriver has a very small holder for different types of bits and is so small that it is easy to lose the holder and bits. I placed a strip of Velcro on the bit holder and attached the bit holder to the cordless screwdriver charging unit. This gave the holder a semi permanent home. See photo #2 Bit Holder. When I use the cordless screwdriver I always know where to find the bit holder. I simply detach the bit holder for use with the cordless screwdriver. When finished I return the bit holder to the Velcro strip on the charging unit until it is next needed. Convenient and the bit holder doesn't become lost. This is a good product for these kinds of usages where both objects have smooth surfaces. I received this product at no cost for the purpose Test Evaluation and Review.

These Velcro brand heavy duty velcro strips are very effective for virtually anything that needs to be mounted or hung. I like using the velcro strips because if you accidentally bump into the thing you mounted, it will just pop off and can be easily replaced rather than being ripped off and possibly damaging the item or the surface it's mounted to. In the past I have used these types of strips to mount controller hangers on my walls, which I think looks really cool. That way when I'm done playing a game I can just hang the controller up on the wall rather than leaving it on the couch or sitting on the end table. It also allows me to display my custom controllers where they'll be visible and easily accessible to me and my guests. I have also used the velcro strips to mount sensors for my VR headset. Sometimes I need to move the sensors and I need to be able to pop them off and return them later. On several occasions I have also used the velcro strips to mount up battery powered LED light switches in areas where I needed a light in case of emergency, like behind my bed or next to the breaker box. These particular Velcro brand strips have what they call Alfa-Lok fasteners. That is what makes them so effective. We have been using a similar style of industrial strength velcro at work for many years and it is very, very tough. Some of the strips I've used at work stick so well it requires a crowbar to pull them apart. These heavy duty strips aren't quite that effective, but they use the same technology. So, for inexpensive, commercially available velcro strips, they work extremely well. These ones claim to hold up to 10 lbs. per strip. I have tested them myself and from my experience, these heavy duty Velcro strips are definitely more reliable than any of the other brands I have tried. The only issue I have with these is they're not meant to be easily removed. These ones are designed to remain where you place them. I have been using Velcro strips like these for years, and they are very useful for a wide variety of situations. These Velcro brand heavy duty strips are the best ones I have used so far. I highly recommend them, 5 stars.

Okay if you wand to hang a heavy picture or something else that has a heft to it you can get these. They are heavy duty for sure. I am going to use them to hang my boot camp picture (there is nothing more sacred to an old Marine) it's my that what I looked like when I was young. In my case 17. So I'm trusting my picture to these strips.

When I first received this Velcro Strips set, I thought the company made a mistake in giving me only the "hook" sides and not the fuzzy fiber side. But once I read the info and instructions, I realized this set of Velcro tabs were indeed the correct set. The strips contain "hooks" on both parts; and when pushed together, form a very tight connection! The box stated they would hold up to 10 pounds; I'm sure this would work for items weighing up to 10 pounds of static load...not any swaying load. So far, I have used these velcro strips for a couple of projects where the items I have attached are not meant to be permanent; frequent on/off of the item is necessary. The first use was for mounting a battery-operated flourescent light on my work bench. The light fixture had magnetic mounting hardware; however, my workbench area is mostly wood. So, I fixed two sticky-back Velcro tabs to the light fixture, and two corresponding Velcro tabs to my workbench. Works great; the light fixture weighs about 3 lbs, and once the Velcro tabs are pressed together, the light fixture holds really well. My other project was securing my coffee thermos to a side wall on my boat; the thermos now sits firmly against an inside wall under the dashboard. Only used one pair of Velcro tabs for this project, and my thermos has not jarred loose yet, even with moderate speed on choppy water. When using these Velcro strips, make sure you firmly press both parts together to get a tight connection. Both parts of the Velcro strips have to "interlock" in order to secure the item. Conversely, when pulling apart, you need to firmly grip your item and slowly pull it apart. The sticky side of the Velcro tab that connects to your mounting area is very sticky; only time will tell if it holds up to regular off and on applications (like my coffee thermos and shop light.) But even if it does tear loose, extra strength double sided tape will repair this easily. Just make sure you clean the surface really good before applying a Velcro tab. And naturally, a smooth surface is better for adherence versus a rough or uneven surface. When you want to mount something that has some weight to it (under 10 pounds) and that object is not subject to movement or constant jostling, these Velcro strips are the ticket!

I have a mount for my fish finder that I interchange between my two boats. Not wanting to drill holes and unscrew the mount every time I wish to change which boat it is on I decided to try these velcro strips. I am now able to move the mount bracket between the two boats with no trouble at all and in seconds! It is very strong and I am confident that it will not let my expensive electronics fall into the lake.

I previously attempted to mount a motion detector light with the included tape strip. I cleaned the area with an alcohol pad and waited for the alcohol to evaporate and then mounted the bracket. After I allowed the adhesive to cure I attempted to mount the motion detector light. It fell down after a few minutes had passed. I then did the same mounting process with the VELCROu00AE Brand ALFA-LOK strip. I had to wiggle the strip to get it into a secure mount. It's going on about two hours and the motion detector light is staying mounted. I'm very impressed with the gripping power of the ALFA-LOK strip.

For eventual take down or removal mounting, Velcro really has come along on the consumer part of things. This Velcro product isn't like any of the other stuff we have been familar with. It is like hook & hook mounting, instead of hook & loop (the shaggy part). Lining them up is better, though different; be sure to press them together, not just mount or butt them up; like with the shaggy piece. Holding power (to itself), really hasn't been an issue with Velcro, staying in place once mounted has. Anyone who has used this stuff, knows that the adhesive part of this holding equation, is the weakest part. Well except for thin paint, it has been good for peeling that, paper & a few other things off the wall. So far, it seems like it has a better adhesive on it, but only time will tell, & this isn't going to drip or run on you like glue. I have used industrial Velcro with some top notch adhesive bindings that need a torch & a blade to remove. Something about halfway in the consumer world would be nice. I believe this is that gap filler. I do want to point out that the paint on your wall may be an issue. I have had some "trouble" with adhesive staying in place for stickers on that no mark/no mar paint. The no scuff, no fingerprint stuff. It's made to repel these things. So do keep that in mind when using this or any adhesive. If you can't change the paint, you'll have to scrub it with alcohol or sand paper to get a decent mount. I did a quick wash with regular rubbing alcohol on the wall & the device (router) I was mounting but it DID NOT stay to the wall. It fell in the night I am sorry to say. The Velcro was clamped together, the sticky stuff didn't stay on the wall. I may try mounting the phone holder in the car, that may be safer. For semi permanent mounting like the router I used, it works fine. Long term semi-permanent mounting too. It's not going to be that long term & isn't fighting the elements. The adhesive feels pretty strong too. Outside, on the walls, the soffit or things like that. This does very well. It is very strong & if you round the corners, you could get away with it being your go to temporary mount for small tools.
