The teeth clamp against the top of the stone, and the tabs act as a spring holding the accessory in place. The product itself is very narrow, allowing your decor to rest flush against the wall. The clips hold 25-50 pounds, which makes it useful for most artwork and decor you want to display (even large scale art and wall hangings).

What are the best wall anchors for breaking up brick?
Before you break up your brick or mess up your masonry with wall anchors, there are a few amazing products you MUST know about. I tested two different products, one is the Brick Clip® Fastener (above, front) and the other is a block clip from The Hillman Group (above, in the background).
Do brick clips work on brick?
The brick clip that holds in the mortar space works on any size brick, which is great when you are at the store, and never thought to measure your brick before trying to pick them up :). This is a big bonus in my book, again… Who knew you might need to measure your bricks. Bricks are bricks…right?
While researching we ran into the question “How much weight can brick clips hold?”.
But things like the brick clips and masonry nails will be able to hold a lot of weight. Up to 25lbs for the brick clips which is more than enough for hanging things from. Instead of drilling, you might be looking at trying to ‘stick’ things to your brick wall to allow for decorations or the hanging of stuff.
This is what our research found. i don’t have brick on my home, but I know plenty of people who do. I bought the other product, the Brick Clip® Fastener to see if any of its sizes would attach to my stone. To attach correctly, I would have needed a very large clip, one in the 3-4″ range, to attach around the height of two horizontal flagstones and the mortar mashed between them.
Do command hooks work on brick walls?
