Hillman Fasteners 122416 Brass Swivel Ceiling Drill Hook

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122416 is a brass swivel ceiling drill hook designed for overhead hanging applications in residential and light commercial settings. The swivel design allows the hook to rotate freely once installed, reducing binding and load stress on the anchor point. Rated to hold up to 40 pounds, this hook is suitable for suspending plants, light fixtures, wind chimes, and similar overhead loads. Installation requires a drill to create the pilot hole before threading the hook into the ceiling substrate. Each package contains 5 hooks, making it practical for multi-point hanging projects.

This hook is commonly used in residential applications where a secure, rotating overhead anchor is needed. Typical installation locations include wood-framed ceilings, joists, and similar substrates that can accept a threaded hook shank. The swivel function is useful when the suspended item needs to turn or when alignment of the load is important. Electricians, general contractors, and knowledgeable DIYers regularly install this type of hardware during fixture staging, holiday lighting, or plant-hanging setups.

Installation Notes

Install this hook into a solid ceiling substrate such as a wood joist or beam to ensure the full 40-pound load rating is achieved. Drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the hook shank before threading in by hand to avoid splitting the substrate. Verify the anchor point is structurally sound before applying any load. Follow all applicable building codes for overhead hardware installations.
