As an engineer we called it “slop.” As a advertising man I can more attractively call it “forgivingly tolerances.” As non-precision constructs all hooks have some “play” in mating to the display surface. Exaggerate that “loose fit” by using 1/4″ pegboard hooks on a thin-wall perforated metal surface and you can get the hooks to … Keep reading
Three frontwires of two different gauges, a welded rear cross pin, and rear bar grabs make this one of the most stalwart Bar Hook designs I have seen.

This tabletop Island Spinner hosts broad horizontal Safety Loop Hooks for retailing Gift Cards and such. But what is the purpose of the upright vertical Loops atop the structure?
