OOK533704 Bendless Nail Picture Hangers, Brick and Concrete Hanging, Brass, 1-1/2" (10 Pack)

Title says it all. These nails will not bend easily or at all. I bought them to hang pictures (one per picture frame) and although they are a little longer than I needed they still work very well, even in drywall with no stud. A high quality product, not too thick to fit standard picture hangers that come on the back of most frames

Update: I found that drilling a small pilot hole works well. No probelms with these nails then. I was hoping to get away from doing a lot of concrete drilling, but at least it's a solution.A smaller version of this nail came in an OOK kit that I bought. It works fine. This larger nail bends for me before it is deep enough to hang the picture. If I needed the weight specs offered by a nail this size, I would use a concrete screw. Probably would be ok in wood...maybe concrete block. I have high density poured concrete walls. Just doesn't work in my application.

These worked great for my wall, hammered in with no issues and feel incredibly sturdy. My only complaint would be that I wish the head was flatter so that it would be a little easier to hang items from the nailhead that have sawtooth, or similar, hooks such as those that come attached to picture frames, etc.

I had these plus some hardened steel ones. I was hammering a hardened steel one in and it bent. So I tried one of these, it went in like a hot knife through butter, and I was sold....That was until I kept using them. Out of the 10, 5 of them bent! I was expecting a couple to maybe snap, but if sold as can't bend, then these are horrible!

I bought these to hang pictures in my house (I live on base overseas), but my walls are made of steel or something (they're actually concrete) and I could not hammer a nail into the wall to save my life. True to its word, however, the nail did not bend. lol

These nails are decorative and sturdy which is why they are my choice for wall hanging on the very hard lath & plaster walls of my house. Why Home Depot doesn't carry them in this size and packaging baffles me. But there is good ol' Amazon to the rescue.

I have tried every kind of nail for attaching my vines to my block walls. This nail was the cheapest and by far more sturdy than any other I tried. When it says that it doesn't bend, believe me it doesn't. Will go throught anything I have tried.

I drilled shallow pilot holes into a poured concrete wall, then drove these nails into the wall with a normal hammer. No problems! They didn't bend or break. I bought this as an "add-on" item to another Amazon order, and they did the trick. Saved me an extra trip to Home Depot!
