Splash Home Metal Roller Decorative Shower Curtain Hooks, Roller Rings & Rust-Resistant Metal, Double Rolling Curtains Hook, for Bathroom Rod and Curtain Hangers, Set of 12 - Matte Black

The best part is how smoothly they glide. The roller balls make opening and closing the shower curtain effortless—no catching, no noise, just a smooth, easy slide every time. They’re simple to clip on, hold the curtain securely, and stay put once installed. If you want shower curtain hooks that combine style, durability, and super-smooth performance, these are an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I have had these for close to a year and they are holding up well. They look better than those junky plastic ones and were easy to attach to the shower curtain. They are not showing any signs of rust or deterioration in spite of daily usage. What else is there to say about basic functional shower curtain hooks? They were a good value and a decent product. I am giving them five stars not because I "love" them, but because I truly have no complaints. They work well and are inexpensive.

If you are looking for curtain hooks & you aren't too picky about it, these are a solid buy. They are a very simple design & they glide effortlessly across my shower curtain rod. Like the other reviewers, I worry about rust but it's too soon for me to tell you if they will or won't. But at the end of the day, I want more! On a strictly personal preference, I wish I shelled out the extra cash for the InterDesign York Classic Shower Hooks. I wavered between these two sets (simple & functional vs classic vintage look). I decided that there would not be much of a difference and figured I'd save a few bucks. However, now that I have these hooks up, I strongly believe the York hooks would work much better in my bathroom and balance out the shower curtain with the hooks. Right now, the shower curtain almost looks like it's hanging on threads because these are so thin (sturdy but thin). Am I now going to go order the other hooks? Probably not (unless these rust or wear out).

UPDATE 02/2014: During a recent move I noticed that these hooks did indeed rust. At least, the set in the bathroom that had the humidity problem did. The set in the other bathroom was still completely rust-free. The rust only occurred inside the little roller balls, but the hooks are still completely functional. I have even put the rusty set back up in the new home, and it still works just fine. I've been using these hooks for about eight months now and I have not had any problems. They were easy to install and they slide back and forth on the curtain rod as they are supposed to. They are not quiet, but not loud enough to make me shrink back in horror. I have not seen any rust as of yet, and I use these hooks in an environment that's humid enough to make shower curtains moldy in two or three months.

I have had these curtain hooks for about three and a half years. They have endured normal use in a household of two adults and have held up structurally very well. I switch the shower curtain at least twice a year, and none of the hooks have cracked or had any problems with this regular use. They have, however, gotten very rusty. I noticed the rust after about a year or 18 months, and it has progressed to the point where they look brown from a distance. The rust has transferred to the curtain rod as well as the area of the shower curtain and liner that contact the hooks. This is a common problem with metals used in high-humidity areas like a bathroom, but I had hoped these would not be so rusty after a few years' use. That being said, they are very inexpensive, so I do feel like I got my money's worth.

These replaced the decorative hooks that do not completely close ('2' or 'S' shaped). We wanted to use them, but the only bathroom with a shower curtain was the boys bathroom. They are not gentle opening and closing the curtain, so I needed something that would 'glide' across the curtain rod and not fall off. These work great for both needs. They glide very easily thanks to the tiny ball bearings (even though the previous 'S' hooks were starting to catch) and if you match the color (chrome, brushed silver, etc) to a similar finish on your curtain rod they actually look quite nice too. Very happy for the price.

I probably should have taken more time to research this item. It just seemed to me that anything made for the shower would have to be a corrosion resistant metal or why bother? Silly me...it is all about selling and profits these days so do not ever assume a product will be half decent. Within six months they were literally covered in rust! Functionally they work great...easy to install, stay closed, slide easily...but what is the point if they rust that badly?

I bought these because of the other high reviews. Most of the time, the high reviews are right but this was not the case. The hooks are such cheap quality. The construction reminds me of thicker paper clips with sharp metal burrs. If you are not careful opening and closing the hooks to attach to the rod, you will slice your finger(s). If you have a cloth shower curtain and need to take it down on a regular basis to wash, these hooks aren't going to work. Over time, they will snap and you will be out of one hook that might be hard to replace. I will wait until this happens and then replace them with the true and tried plastic hooks from the 99 cent store. Plastic is also quieter when sliding the curtain too.
