Square hooks, also known as L hooks and square cup hooks, are made from A2 or 304 stainless steel and are useful for a multitude of jobs, both inside and outdoors. With their sharp point and woodscrew end, the square hooks can be turned straight into wood and can also be used in masonry and concrete when employed with a wall plug.
