What is the weight capacity of this wire? I plan on using it to hang paintings, pictures, etc. and would like to know the maximum strength limitations

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.

There is no weight capacity stated. From your question, this wire will work but is an over kill. Picture hanging wire in my experience is light and flexible. This wire can be compared to heavy gauge clothes hanger wire and is very stiff.

This is multi-stranded picture-hanging wire with a soft vinyl coating. Wire and coating measure about 1/16th of an inch or about 2 mm. Tomorrow, I can measure the exact diameter with a digital calipers and send you the data. Hope this is helpful to you. H. Slovic

Wish I could tell you but for lack of a better way I would say it is about the size of a #2 lead pencil lead only. I can tell you that it will hold over 40 Lbs. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT IN MORE THAN 25 YEARS i HAVE NOT FOUND A BETTER ,EASIER picture framing wire to use . I have been using this brand for many years. I hope this helps you.

It's kind of flimsy. The wire is about the same thickness and sturdiness of a wire coat hanger. I guess that's the best guideline I can give you.

i dont know what the maximum weight is, but it wont hold a very heavy tv. this closetmaid is not strong for that

I don't know if there is a weight limit. Sorry. When I started using this I was about 227lbs(about 102.96 kg) and it held me just fine. With that said, I needed cables that offered more assistance than the red provided, and I ordered the blue cables and used them for a month and then I went back to the red cables that came with the unit when I was stronger/lost more weight.

I don't know what the exact weight limit is. We just have a bunch of clothes hanging on it and it holds fine and looks very sturdy. I don't know if you could hang much more then clothes or heavy garments on it though.

It's easy to work with and I believe strong enough. Right now I have a bird feeder hung through pulleys, about 30 ft total of wire. Total weight of feeder about 8 lb when full. Know though that the "insulation" on the wire was not intended for outdoor use and will degrade from sunlight in a few months. Not a problem really since the wire itself is SS and does not degrade.

Don't really know, but I have hung pictures weighing 25 pounds+ with no problem. I believe they make different strengths.

10 pounds should be within the hook's limit. I hung a large Boston fern from one (15-20 lbs) without issue. Just make sure you find a ceiling joist to anchor into!

I have used a bit of it already, so I can't recall the exact length. I would say at least enough to do a few pictures. I hung two which were about 14" across, so with a little slack and I still have some left. If you are buying it for a lot of hanging, I would spend the extra cash and add wire to your purchase.

Depends on how you mount it. If you use the sticky tape option, it might not handle, but if you use the included screws, and use the proper hardware (for example, if hanging on drywall), then this should work nicely. My two are hung using the attached tape. I regularly hang fine art photo prints in my studio from it. 24X30 on heavy paper, two or three at a time. I love the ability to preview the prints I am working on in the proper wall placement, then easily swap them out as I move on. Hope this helps.

There are different load ratings for the plastic anchors that you insert into the drywall. I believe that these are rated at 20 pounds each, or thereabouts. There are three plastic anchors included with the hangers, but only two of them support any weight, so you should be safe at roughly 40 pounds or less. If you need more than that, I would screw the bracket directly into studs, or use a stronger drywall insert such as a threaded anchor (purchased at a hardware store). If you screw into studs (with long screws you will need to buy at the hardware store) you could probably hold over 200 pounds. The weak link would become the little screws mounted into the back of your picture, not the wall screw. You could beef these up as well, if your frame is thick enough.

I don't know the limit but I have hung a feeder full of seed that weighed at least 10 pounds with no problem. My guess is that it will handle 20 pounds as long as the item you clamp it to will not give way.

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

I do not think it will hold something of that weight. I think this product is suited for paper bonding of various weights. I think eventually gravity might pull it down, if you use this tape.

It is a very strong hook. My fixture weighs 10 to 15 lbs. It should hold fine as long as it's screwed into a 2*4 or other secure board.
