Product description of the manufacturer:
The ceiling hook from FENERO impressed in the test with its high load-bearing capacity and simple installation. With a load capacity of up to 400 kg, it also provides a secure hold on solid concrete ceilings. The safety catch, which prevents the suspended object from slipping, was a particularly positive feature. The stainless steel makes the hook durable and weather-resistant – ideal for hanging chairs, punching bags, swings, sling trainers and much more – both indoors and outdoors. Installation is simple: drill four holes, attach screws with plugs – done. One small point about the workmanship: the bracket is welded on at a slight angle, which does not impair its function, but a straight design would be desirable. The packaging could also be made more environmentally friendly by dispensing with plastic film . Overall, the ceiling hook impressed us with its robust construction, versatility and ease of installation – a reliable solution for a wide variety of hanging applications.

The packaging impressed in the test with its sturdy design and good protection of the contents. The ceiling hook and mounting accessories were securely stowed in a sturdy cardboard box and additionally wrapped in plastic film to prevent damage during transport. This protective packaging served its purpose, but could be optimised by dispensing with the plastic film and using more environmentally friendly materials. The scope of delivery was complete and included an eyelet, a hook, four screws and four metal plugs. The packaging included easy-to-understand assembly instructions in German.

The first impression of the ceiling hook is consistently positive. The simple, functional design in silver-coloured stainless steel blends unobtrusively into various environments and at the same time looks robust and of high quality. The workmanship is largely precise and the material appears stable and cleanly finished. One small point of criticism is the slightly angled welded bracket, which does not affect functionality but could be visually optimised. The load capacity of up to 400 kg and the solid screws with metal dowels ensure a secure hold. There is no specific information on sustainability, but the stainless steel used is rustproof and durable, which supports sustainable use. Another plus point is the 30-day money-back guarantee, which offers the buyer a risk-free test option.

The ceiling hook impressed in the practical test with its high load-bearing capacity and simple and safe installation. The robust stainless steel construction easily withstood a load of up to 400 kg without deforming or weakening. Installation was quick and uncomplicated thanks to the screws and metal plugs supplied. The hook sat firmly and securely in the anchorage, and the retaining nut provided additional stability. Even with jerky movements or sudden load changes, the bracket remained stable and did not wobble. In the long-term test over several days under constant load, the hook retained its stability. Neither the material nor the screw connection showed any visible wear, which emphasises the high quality of the product. Noise development was also minimal. The hook moved smoothly and without any annoying squeaking or creaking. Occasional lubrication could further reduce the noise and extend the service life. The smooth movement of the hook was also positive. Even under high loads, the turning and swivelling movement remained reliable without the mechanism blocking or jamming. This feature is particularly advantageous when used with hanging chairs or sling trainers, where flexible movement is required. Overall, the FENERO ceiling hook offers an extremely stable, durable and versatile solution for a wide range of applications. With its secure fastening, minimal noise and reliable mobility, it fulfils all the requirements for high-quality ceiling suspension.
