PolkHigh33: What really separates these from the junky versions is the padding - this unit has a much better foam padding that's more durable and is installed on the metal very tightly. The cheaper hooks have super thin pipe insulation type pool noodle stuff that comes off easily and rips. This unit, however, has a high quality foam protector.
To add to the chorus - make sure you screw these into a stud. Do NOT screw these into drywall. Throw out the included screws and drywall anchors, and use high quality wood screws.
I have approximately four feet separating the hooks (24" on center studs), and they hold my 10' kayaks just fine. These hooks are a great product, especially for the price.

Scott HaymondScott Haymond: Update: Customer support contacted me and said they would send the missing hardware for free, but I already had put in another order (third time’s the charm) so I returned the second package that was missing one of the hooks. The third package arrived, amazingly enough, with everything it was supposed to. I am surprised because the box it came in was not secured in any way (it was not taped shut). Looks like their QA and Shipping departments need some more training.
As for the product, I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and mounted the hooks with my own screws to the studs. The hooks seem sturdy enough and were easy to install. The kayaks sit in the hooks just right and don’t feel like they will tip out.
ORIGINAL: I ordered this and somewhere during the shipping process the package got returned to the seller (for some unknown reason) by the carrier. Amazon said I would get a full refund (instead of sending me a replacement). So it never arrived.
I ordered it again, and it arrived this time, but I only received 3 hooks and no screws.
They look like they will work well, but I'm not going to mount them because I didn't get what is in the description.

Adam B.Adam B.: I just installed these the other day for my two 10 foot sit-in kayaks. They were very simple to install with a drill being the only special tool I used. The kayaks fit well on them and they seem to hold the weight just fine. The only concern would be any side to side movements as too much would more than likely break them off the wall. I would recommend using caution when loading and unloading.

Amazon Customer: This is a great product for storing my kayaks on the wall. The supports are well padded and are reasonably sturdy. As many others have noted, the included mounting screws are poor quality--just throw them away. I used large good-quality screws and have had no problems. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because it would be so easy to provide decent mounting screws. Shipping was very fast. I would definitely buy these again.

Christopher Huber: I bought these to hang my 12 foot kayaks in my shed. They weigh around 45lbs and these hooks hold them with no problem. They are super easy to install and make storage so much easy. Great value for the money spent
