These are advertised as having steel hooks, but they're plastic so I assume the steel in inside. How substantial is the supposed steel inside?

The hooks are pretty strong and have withstood heavy use. I believe the hooks are held to the cord using tension, so there is very little risk of them snapping off.

The hook and bungee work great for me. I use to secure my luggage on my motorcycle for weekend trips. Longest was to Vegas and back with no issues. The weight they secure is maybe 20 lbs at the most and I use 4 straps to do this. The main reason I git these was the ability to adjust the length.

They were metal that you screw into the wood. Seems sturdy though, holds my 210 lb husband.

These are actual cup hooks, i.e. they are big enough to hold cups. Very sturdy with v substantial screw part. I've not got one to hand but they must have an opening of approx 3/4 inch. Probably 2 inches from tip to lowest point of hook part. Hope this helps

They appear to be pretty sturdy...slate tops and metal frames. I use them inside but you could have a problem with rust.

The hooks on mine are metal, however the item I see pictured here is different from the item I purchased and reviewed. I am unsure why that is. I also posted a picture with my review of the item that I no longer have access to and is no longer here for some reason. My apologies I am a little confused as to why that is!! I am not sure this is the same item!

they are metal hooks that have a plastic coating on the out side that I would think is vinyl but can't say for sure

They are metal I'm pretty sure. I didn't find them to be really supportive when I used this in bed. I would not purchase this again.

Answer here...Can't say if "solid" brass, but they definitely have plenty of heft and are not plastic. Very pleased!

I'm sorry, but I don't remember. I ordered them a long time ago. The hooks work really well, though.

The hooks are about 4" long and appear to be chrome plated. They are attractive and have a small ball on each end so that it is easier not to have things catch on them as you hang pans on them.

they are not stainless steel, a magnet sticks to the metal. Probably chrome plated steel. Easily replaceable with stainless. Otherwise well made.

They are steel! Not sure why you would want Al ones? Mine came with three long inserts.... two middle length inserts.... and only one small. Which was fine by me.

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).

they actually dont come with the typical "J hooks" you would find at an actual gym. they're more like "L hooks" if you ask me, but they're pretty solid and can hold some serious weight. i've personally only put about 250lb on them several times and the hooks work well. the only thing i would say bad about them is that they are kind of long so the bar seems to roll around a lot.

I haven't used the hooks for anything very heavy but they seem to be quite strong and sturdy. I believe they could easily handle things maybe 40 or 50 pounds.

Remember they are aluminum. ........... quite sturdy and heavy enough for aluminum.
