Lets say i got this wire and hung 500 pounds off of it would it hold?

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but based on the specifications given in the description, I would say it depends. According to the description: Tensile strength - 303-333 ksi (min. - max.) Tensile Strength Max 335000 PSI Outside Diameter 0.051 inches So, the two tensile strengths are in slight disagreement. If you go with the lower value for safety, then it supports 303ksi (which I'm assuming means kilopounds/square inch). With a diameter of .051 inches, that works out to a cross section of: pi * diameter = 3.14 * .051 = .16 square inches Assuming tensile strength scales linearly with the cross section (it probably doesn't), then the total amount the wire should be able to support before failing is roughly: .016 square inches * 303 kilopounds/square inch = 48 kilopounds Which is far more than necessary to support 500lbs. The "depends" part comes from the fact that I'm not an engineer, and don't fully understand the forces at work. Be careful, and don't use it for anything safety-critical unless you get a real engineer to evaluate it!

Way more than strong enough. The problem I had was that they shorted me something like 8 inches so I couldn't use it for my application. Keep in mind that it will stretch when stressed. I used it to pull 250 lbs and at 25 feet it stretched several inches. For a couple of feet and with multiple strands stretching won't be an issue.

Thank you for you inquiry. As to how much weight can be hung, you may refer directly to the manufacturer for a more precise information. Please visit them at www.hiattmfg.com.-Bright Solutions Shopping Network, LLC

You would have to ask the manufacturer for the tensile strength, but besides using it for grapevines, I used to use it for various construction purposes. I believe 200 pounds is not a stretch of the strength of the wire. I also used it for support to espalier apple trees. It is rust resistant, but for indoor use that should not be a factor.

I believe it will hold from 300 to 400#. It's very strong and sturdy. I recommend it highly!

I would think that if you used enough of it that it would work. totally filled I would guess the weight to be around 10-12 pounds and there are mounting tapes to hold such a weight. Thats just my best guess. Hope that helps Masoumeh.

I used 500 feet of 50#. It could have held at least 1000 feet. It's a great product. I don't know how I did without it.

That would depend on what you screwed it into. However, I screwed it into Sheetrock with anchor supports designed to hold 50 lbs. on each support and I believe it would easily hold 35 to 50 lbs quite well.

I would say yes. On the description page it says the large hook will hold up to 5 lbs. I hang a large bath sheet on mine and I haven't had any problem.

I believe it's 500lbs but I would not exceed 300 due to the distance between the supports.

It'll hold a 50" work peice. The clamping strength doesn't change from the size of the clamp.

Yes it can. On mine I have 500yds 40 pound braid backed with 40lb mono. It holds a lot of line weather its 5 pound or 100 pound

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

I am not sure. You may want to call the manufacture. In my opinion I think if you had two people that weighed 200 pounds a piece.. it should hold.

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

Not sure if that would work or not. I screwed mine into sheetrock, and it works great holding 100lbs. You may want to check with the manufacturer to see if it is recommended. As long as you are not hanging something very heavy, it should work fine.

Yes, it will hold 50 pounds with ease. I have several of them with sledge hammers, post mauls, and other heavy tools hanging from them. They are only as good as the way you anchor them to your wall. You need long screws that go into a stud. I highly recommend them.
