A ceiling hook that pulls out of the plaster when you hang anything heavier than a light fixture — by the time you've patched the hole and re-drilled, you've spent more time than the hook cost. The No. 6 hook with 3/8 x 3-inch dimensions gives you enough bite in the framing to hold what you actually hang up there. Steel construction with 3/8-inch thread diameter and 3-inch shank provides solid withdrawal resistance in plaster and drywall when used with the appropriate anchors — in wood ceilings, it threads directly into the joist. The No. 6 thread gauge is the right size for lightweight fixtures, plant hooks, and utility hanging in residential ceilings. Zinc plating fights corrosion in damp interior spaces like basements and porches. Standard in the hardware pouch of remodelers Stocked at Crofton Lumber and Akron Lumber.
