Our checks

Nov 1, 2026: Visited the official website: it is working.

Hang Hero, from Michael and Ana Van Horst, is a picture-hanging tool that levels and drives a nail without a hammer. The product hit $851,000 in sales in 2024 under a licensing deal, but revenue collapsed to about $40,000 in 2025 after the couple ended that arrangement. On Shark Tank in March 2026, most sharks balked at the numbers, but Daymond John offered $150,000 for 25%. The company has since leaned on direct-to-consumer sales and social media marketing.
