I am planning on using them for the kids backpacks- how many pounds can the hook handle?

Hello, I actually purchased this item for the same reason. I have a first grader and fourth grader so their backpacks aren't extremely heavy. But this hook is really sturdy and long enough for shorter arms. I have also had up to four backpacks at one time weighing approximately five pounds each but I think it could definitely hold a little more.

Well first I hope you are looking for 3.5" hooks because these hooks are NOT 5" hooks. But to answer your questions, I suppose if you bend them enough they will break but generally no - I bent the hooks slightly to accomodate a 2" pipe and it worked just fine. You will need some strength and a pliers, though, they are quite strong.

You ay want to consider metal hooks for this or two of these. I have several of these hooks for clothes and have been very pleased. I am not sure if they would hold up to that sort of weight over the long haul.

Your children are likely too short to reach the coat hooks. Otherwise, backpacks that don't exceed the weight of a winter coat on each hook (4) would likely be okay.

Probably not. It is a pretty small profile hook. It would depend on the size of the handles and how full the bags were.

I wouldn't put anything that weighs more than 10 lbs which is a lot. You could use 2 f these hooks if you have something that weighs more than that. Something too heavy will pull out of the siding if not clipped properly.

It depends on how heavy they are and if they are evenly distributed throughout the rack. I would not hang 10+ pound backpacks as I used to carry in my day.

Hello there, If a hook can hold up to 5 lbs. Theoretically, 3 hooks should hold up 15 lbs. But there is no guarantee that it will. For the purpose of a hook is for a total amount of 5 lbs.Customer Support TeamBuyDMi

I see no reason why they can't b used as long as good stainless steel screws are used. Each hook can hold 115 pounds. Just make sure you use heavy duty screws and close the open end of the hooks to ensure the swing doesn't pop off the hook.

I believe each hook is capable of holding 5 pounds. I would use two for stability to hold the box, even though it most likely does not weigh 10 pounds.

I would not recommend using these hooks at a weight that exceeds their rating, given that they are plastic. And there is no good way to distribute the weight among 3 hooks. Maybe 2, yes, but not 3. I would recommend metal hanger hardware; for example this one, rated at 200 pounds: OOK 55099 Heavy-Duty Drywall Hanger Supports Up to 200 Pounds

The bare metal end that hooks onto the 2X4 is 1/4 inch and the the end with rubber over it is 3/8 inch. They are rated at a 20lb. capacity per hook.

I'm not exactly sure of the weight limit per hook however I would assume it would support 200 lbs if it is anchored appropriately.

It's 3" tall, I don't think the hooks would be big enough for a back pack, depending on the thickness if the straps. I happened to see these very same hooks at Home Depot if you want to take a look at them.

The hooks do not raise/lower reliably without some sort of weight on them. I usually have to reach up and grab them to pull them down. The hooks just aren't heavy enough on their own. You could certainly put more weight than a bike on these, but I think the lower quality and stretchiness of the rope will be a limiting factor. They are still working well for me for their indented purpose.

No, the hooks are not strong enough and if you are going to use it for that the persons weight is a big influence. I bought for exiting a second floor in case of an emergency. I recommend you purchase the more heavy duty ones for climbing. I hope this helps.

I have only put a minimal amount of weight on these hooks and just for hanging some thing on a closet rod but think that they will hold much more than I have been hanging. But in answer to your question I would say that you could hang 30 lbs with out them bending.
