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!

I have it as packed as I can get it with clothes and its stayed intact. I also hung my weight on it to test it and it held me at 105lbs

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

Not as much as I tried to hang on it...had it pretty full and thought all was good until I came back down to the basement later in the day and it had fallen over and one of the poles bent :( (sorry for the somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer...I don't know exact pounds...I had pants and suits hanging in it. It wasn't bursting at the seams, but was relatively full.)

I work in a frame shop. We regularly use Security Hangers for 50-60 pound items. At that size, we generally upgrade to more robust drywall anchors, but the security hanger hardware does 50 pounds without any issues.

As long as it is secured to something that will hold it-I would say yes. It is a top heavy unit so the securing item has to be pretty heavy or solidly secured.

I am not exactly sure, but I am very confident with the right hooks it would hold at least 450lbs

Well, I think it would hold up okay on wire racks as this is pretty sturdy. But it depends on the spacing of the wires on the rack. I'd say no more than 1/4" spacing would be okay.

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.

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.

I screwed it to the studs; It has been holding my 55" TV for over 4 years. Hanging over 70 pound on a drywall, without studs, may bring the wall and TV down.

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.

This should hold you. I would recommend buying a stronger like 500 lb paracord to be safe, but this should hold you. My rope tore so I gotparacord but I also am 6"3 235 lbs. I hope this helped!

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.

I contacted XMark and the technician said "125lbs" which probably means the safe working load versus the static maximum load. Based on its construction and mounting I'd say it could probably hold 200lbs, but everyone has their idea of "risk".

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.

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.
