Help with "industrial" suction-cup hook

My wife has a non-Camino need for the very same, industrial-grade, suction-cup hook that someone posted in this section. I have spent better than 2 hours looking for the post, but without success.

Please post a link to said hook? My wife absolutely needs it for use in the shower-stalls of her new health club.

Regards as always,

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Might this be it?
I'm doing a little talk on packing for the camino and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any quirky items to talk about that are useful but borderline justifiable in terms of pack weight. For example this is one item I have carried (up until I left it behind in an albergue). It's a suction cup hook/hanger that uses a camming action to hold like iron to any flat smooth surface and means that you are never without a place to hang your stuff in the shower for example. The suction cup is about 3 inches in diameter and it's plastic so pretty light - at least that's what I tell myself:

Hi, I bought one just the other day – in the kitchen section of the hardware store – apparently it’s useful for hanging teatowels (for drying dishes).

I carried for a long time, a black plastic hook that a pilgrim had left in our albergue. Lost it somethwere, though. A similar one in shape but much different in color is http://tinyurl.com/ybabrwwk

This one?

I bought it in the Netherlands, but it might be available elsewhere. Manufacturer is EuroTrail, and they have two choices of suction hooks, to hold either 2 or 6 kilo's.
 
If you are in the US, try your local Bed, Bath & Beyond store. they will have an assortment of suction cup hooks. I buy mine there.

If not in the US, try the Carrefour or local Brico. Failing that, I recommend Amazon.

I hope this helps.
 
and, if you are in Australia, try both Ikea and Bunnings....they both have these type of hooks....super strong suction - I use them both in my kitchen (to hang various bits and pieces) and in my bathroom......look in the Bathroom supplies section or, failing that, in the case of Bunnings, in the plumbing section. Cheers..
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
