Choose from four sizes, 35 x 3.5mm to 60 x 6.0mm, in packs of 5, 8, 20, 50 or 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach hook is formed from a single length of hardwearing steel wire, bent into a right-angle (L) profile, with a sharp wood screw thread on the fixing end. That single-piece construction is the hook's defining feature: there's no separate screw, plate or fixing to lose or line up, because the hook itself is the fastener, giving a largely tool-free installation and a strong, open hook face that keeps hold of whatever you hang from it. The diameter quoted for each size is measured on the threaded (screw-in) part of the hook, so it lines up directly with the timber and pilot hole you're fixing into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets an open L-hook (square cup hook) apart from a screw eye is the hook face itself: because it's open rather than closed, loads can be hung and lifted off again in a moment, without having to thread anything over the end first. That makes it equally suited to a quick, regularly used hanging point for things you move around (tools, cables, hosepipes, buckets, seasonal lighting) and to a fixed, permanent fitting wherever a simple, visible hook is wanted, from a shed or workshop wall to a garden fence or ceiling joist. The square profile adds a neat touch, so the hooks look tidy on visible installations where appearance matters. Each hook carries a white zinc-plated coating over the steel body, giving a bright finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hooks come in four sizes, from 35mm (1.4\") up to 60mm (2.4\") in overall length, with the wire\/shank diameter increasing alongside the length so the larger sizes carry proportionately more strength. Full dimensions and diameters for each size, including arm height and thread length, are set out in the Specification table below, so you can match the right size to the job and the timber you're working with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy installation: the wood screw thread allows simple and quick fitting by hand, without the need for tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece steel wire construction: the L-shaped hook body and the wood screw thread are formed from one length of wire, with no separate fixing to lose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen L-shaped hook face, rather than a closed eye, so loads can be hung and lifted off again quickly without threading anything over the hook first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile L shape: hang items at the height you need, from walls, beams, fences and ceiling joists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, coarse wood screw thread on the fixing end bites directly into timber and can usually be driven by hand, or with pliers for extra leverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite zinc-plated carbon steel gives a bright, corrosion-resistant surface for lasting, reliable fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sizes, from 35mm (1.4\") to 60mm (2.4\") overall length, with wire\/shank diameter increasing alongside length for greater strength on the larger sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter is measured on the threaded (screw-in) part of the hook, so it can be matched directly to the timber you're fixing into\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeat square profile that looks tidy on visible installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits both temporary, regularly-moved loads and permanent, fixed hanging points, indoors or outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction throughout for a durable, long-lasting hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize (L x d)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall length (L)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWire\/shank diameter (d)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArm height (L1)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread length (Lg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 3.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm (1.38\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5mm (0.14\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12mm (0.47\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm (0.98\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite zinc-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 4.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45mm (1.77\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0mm (0.16\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14mm (0.55\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30mm (1.18\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite zinc-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 5.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm (1.97\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.0mm (0.20\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16mm (0.63\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30mm (1.18\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite zinc-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 x 6.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60mm (2.36\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0mm (0.24\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18mm (0.71\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm (1.38\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite zinc-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open hook face makes these L-hook screws especially useful anywhere you need to hang and unhook items regularly, rather than leave something permanently threaded on:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheds, garages and workshops: hang hand tools, extension leads, hosepipes, coiled cable or buckets where they're needed, and lift them straight off again without unthreading anything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarden fences, pergolas and outbuildings: fixed hanging points for garden tools, hanging baskets, coiled hose, wind chimes or bird feeders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeiling joists and rafters: overhead hanging points for light fittings, lanterns, potted plants or seasonal decorations;

Because the wire diameter increases with each size, it's worth matching the hook to the job: the smaller 35mm and 45mm sizes suit lighter, everyday items, while the 50mm and 60mm sizes, with thicker 5.0mm and 6.0mm wire, suit heavier tools and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward, and in most cases needs no more than the hook itself. The coarse wood screw thread bites directly into timber, so the hook can usually be driven in by hand, or with pliers for extra leverage, without pre-drilling in most softwoods. In hardwood or denser timber, drill a small pilot hole first; this makes the hook easier to drive home and helps avoid splitting the wood, particularly with the larger, thicker-shanked sizes. Drive the hook in until it sits flush against the timber surface, and orient the open face in the direction the load will hang so it's supported correctly and won't slip off sideways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these the same as square cup hooks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. L-hook screws are also sold as square cup hooks, square hooks for hanging, L shape hooks, L shaped wall hooks, right angle hooks or 90 degree screw-in hooks: a single steel wire bent into an open L shape, with a wood screw thread on the fixing end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need tools to fit them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The wood screw thread allows simple and quick installation by hand, without the need for tools.
