Anybody know anything about a product called InstaHang?

I ask, because whenever I see an ad on TV I think, "what a great
idea!", but then usually find out that the Competitor's Product to
what is shown works MUCH better.

Just one historical example, Dirt Devil vs Hoover where the TV ads
ran, and ran, and ran, the function shown on TV was great, but the
Hoover competitor product was about twice the product.

So, I ask the group, is this a good product? is there a competitor to
this product that will work better?

Do you mean better than a finishing nail driven in at an angle?

The problem with finishing nails, or any nails, by themselves is that
they can easily be pushed all the way into the wall while trying to
hang the picture.

Plus, the angle is NOT constant, AND the angle can be torn downwards
by the hanging pressure. It would seem there could be advantage to
having a widget that holds the angle of the nail in place, not letting
it tear down.

With these promos, I hate to pay the extra $20 to $40 just to
'reimburse' the vendor for trying to sell it to me.
Don't know about "insta-Hang" but the brass hooks that are fastended
to the wall by nails or pins pointed 45 degrees down work GREAT. We've
used them at the office to hang rather heavy framed pictures, with no
issues. I think they cost less than a buck a piece (Packiage of 4 or
5, if memory searves correctly, for about 3 or 4 bucks) Bought them
at the local Home Hardware store.
