GRIVER Mounting Brackets One Side Waterproof Reviews Summary

Installation

Pros:

• "Super easy to use."
• "The drill bit being included was a great surprise. A little time consuming to attach these to the walls, but well worth the effort!"
• "Easy to install and very secure."
• "Easy to install once you get in the rhythm, more clips the better!"
• "Fast delivery and very easy and handy to use."
• "These were actually easy to use."
• "Easy to install and very well made."

Cons:

• "These were difficult to put on my project and they also did not hold down the tape once it was installed."
• "The enclosed mounting brackets and tiny screws make install very slow and difficult, possibly the worst for outside lighting I’ve encountered."
• "The screws are so shallow I had to use deeper ones and the plastic isn’t the sturdiest."
• "The screws are small and difficult to thread into the hole in the clip. the holes in the plastic clip were too small for the screws so it took much longer than should have been necessary to put the clips up."
• "Installing them took a while, but they hold the lights up securely and unless you're really looking- you cant even tell they're on."
• "The tip of the screws are not pointy enough and the screws are a bit too short so it becomes very hard to screw them on wood unless you use pliers to hold the screw in place."
• "The screws can be a little difficult as they sometimes don't snugly fit a normal screwdriver."

Product Quality

Pros:

• "Item as described. Screws of excellent quality. Sharp so they start themselves easily in the countertop bottoms."
• "fantastic to secure your strips and connectors, extensions from pulling against your LED strip. Will help keep the LED strip in place."
• "Good product. When my sons strip lights for his room came in the tape lasted a total of a few days. These worked perfect and were clear so they blended perfectly with the strip."
• "This product is simple and works well."
• "Threading is right kind and works very well with plastic soffits."
• "Plastic is sturdy and resists snapping or breaking when screwed down snug. 100 was sufficient to secure an 18' led strip."
• "Good quality screws with sharp points."

Cons:

• "Nice idea but poor execution. I measured my lights prior to ordering. I ordered the larger millimeter size and the version for silicone covered lights. These were so small and thin, I'm not sure they would have worked on the smallest LED light on the market."
• "Seems like a solid product but they did not secure my Sylvania Lightify Strips since the brackets were too tall and did not clamp down on the strip."
• "The screws are small and meant for like a hardwood wont work with drywall."
• "These screws are absolutely worthless. They don't screw into a wet paper bag."
• "The screws are so shallow I had to use deeper ones and the plastic isn’t the sturdiest."
• "The screws that come with this are not great."
• "The quality of the screws is average, I call them a One-and-Done kind of screw because the heads strip out so fast."

Design & Fit

Pros:

• "These small clips hole a weatherproof led strip fairly well."
• "They were the perfect size and are holding the strip with confidence."
• "I first thought these would be to flimsy but they snug down tight and work well, so far have secured more than 40 feet of LED strips."
• "They are perfect to anchor down your LED strip lights when the adhesive backing isn’t holding up."
• "They are curved so they hold 10mm water proof lights perfectly."
• "The little brackets fit my 8 mm strip perfectly."
• "These clips worked great."

Cons:

• "These are just Ok. Since the screw is only on one end, sometimes it doesn't hold well. I would recommend something with screws on each side."
• "They are OK, not great as when you screw down they don't pinch flat and it's not fully securing the strip."
• "These were milky white not clear as in the picture shown, I wanted clear ones for there more transparency and would be less visible and not stand out as much, but nope that’s not what I received..."
• "They work but are also too big for waterproof led strips and they slide everywhere."
• "When screwed in, the part that is supposed to hold the strip in place, doesn’t even touch it. There are better products out there."
• "They do not hold the light strips snug AT ALL. It takes tons of them just to keep the strips from sagging."
• "Because the clips are round the light strips would not lay flat against the wall."

Durability

Pros:

• "They have held up the lights so far but very difficult to manage the clip and putting the screw in while holding the lights great product so far though."
• "I have several strings of LEDs whose stock adhesive was insufficient to thwart gravity's pull; I bought these clips to hold the light strips, and they have worked very well in this role."
• "Have lights mounted underneath countertop of outdoor bar. Been in place for about a year. Still working and no problems experienced."
• "I was a bit concerned that these clips wouldn't hold the rope lights, but they worked great."
• "So I use these for a lot. I hung string lights with this. I've used for cords I needed to hide or just to keep in place it's a great product to have."
• "They work as expected. It's been more than a month and the combination of the adhesive backing that came on the led strip and these brackets has kept the strip straight and fully mounted."
• "Great product. A MUST for installing 10mm Weather Proof LED Lights."

Cons:

• "Super flimsy. Might want to predrill holes. Never used them and instead went with another brand."
• "I installed the 10mm clips about 2 years ago and they are starting to fail."
• "They are very thin. If you pull on them just a little bit they break."
• "These don't really hold an IP65 strip securely. Once you drill it in, the curved part bows out. Maybe they work better on IP67 strips."
• "ALL OF THE SCREWS WERE BREAKING as I attempted drilling them in."
• "Of the 100 screws, about 20% tore off the screw head during installation."
• "Very simple but they discolor in heat. They turned yellow and when the lights are set to white, the clips give yellow lines on the ground due to their discoloration."
