Sim-Pull Hangers


New Devices - Ron holding a new type of push pin


A standout product at this year's National Hardware Show is the Sim-Pull Hanger for wallboard. It's a very small pushpin-type hanger that uses a clever mechanical system to stay in place.

As it’s pushed into the wallboard, the hanger's legs flare farther and farther apart, biting into the wall. In this picture, a piece of clear plastic demonstrates what the Sim-Pull hanger looks like as it's pressing through a wall.

Wallboard hanger - Pushing the pin through a hook
To use this hanger, pass the pin through a hook, and into drywall with a finger or thumb.
This small hook uses a single hanger and is rated for five pounds.  The image at right shows the hanger holding twice that much weight.

Heavy wallboard hangers - Testing two Sim-Pull Hangers
A larger hook needs two hanger pins, and is graded for ten pounds.  More than twenty pounds can hang from two of these pins.

  Wall Hooks - Using the Sim-Pull Hanger for a plastic hook
Once it’s up, a plastic towel or coat hook slides over the top. 

Don't try this with a simple push pin. Make sure it's a Sim-Pull hanger.
