I would like to use 2 of these to mount my husband's ceremonial Navy sword on the wall. Are they strong enough for that? Thanks

I would definitely invest in something sturdier & more appropriate for that, these mounts would not suffice.

Yes, they are strong enough for a sword as long as they are mounted into a strong surface. Isaiah 53:5

The brackets are pretty heavy duty and can support not only a sturdy shelf but also items on top if it. As long as you can get the screws secured, preferably into studs, they'll hold quite a bit of weight (like books).

I intended to anchor it securely enough for incidental grabs with larger screws than provided- into studs. I think it would have been strong enough, but I would not want to routinely put much weight on it. You can set the space between the support brackets wherever you like, which should help with bending of the rod. It is not a solid rod and is maybe 3/8" diam.

I'm glad you asked, because I have a similar rapier. No it wouldn't. This was a terrible purchase. I would recommend something else such as a stand. Or if you really want to hang it on your wall, go for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Supplies-Fleur-Finish-Adjustable-Hanger/dp/B00EB86E20/ref=sr_1_54?ie=UTF8&qid=1401304995&sr=8-54&keywords=sword+hanger

I'm Not sure if command strips will be strong enough to hold this thing. The issue is that for the knives to attach and detach nicely the mount has to be firmly attached with no wiggle or play. I used 3M outdoor tape to attach mine which worked fine but that stuff is strong and difficult to remove so it might not be applicable for you. You might be able to put the large command strips across the entire length and make it work. Also keep in mind the weight of the knives you are hanging.

If you buy a wall rack. They don't come with a rack. I would only use them a display swords.

It's definitely strong enough to hold all those things as long as you mount it correctly on your wall. I suggest that if you are going to hang things that have some weight to them on it, that you mount it on your wall with toggle bolts.

This mount is ridiculously sturdy. It is very made if very strong steel. As long as you mount it on the studs if the wall properly you are good to go. When you open it out of the box that it comes in you an tell immediately because of the weight of the materials...

For that you'd want a lead anchor with a screw, and washers to secure it. You'd measure where the screws go. Then drill holes in the cement or brick. Place the wall mount up on the wall. Then screw in the lead anchors with the washers and it should hold up fine. I would think you'd want 2" lead anchors just because that'd hold the weight a little better. And if you talk to someone at Lowe's, home depot, or Ace, etc. They should know what you're looking for and be able to help you out. And get a friend to help you mount it. So one person can hold the wall mount while the other screws in the lead anchors.

I don't know how strong the mount is, but a backing and thru bolt would work. I mounted two of them for a BBQ, one on each side of my boat, in addition to fishing. Wayne

Well, I can not say how strong the screws are, but it would depend on if you are using the supplied wood shaft which would break first before the screws would. You could use a different shaft to attach to the spearhead. The spearhead edges are very sharp and make sure you protect your dogs from getting near it. If you do not think the screws are strong enough for your purpose, you can alsways change them out with something else. Good luck. JP

They work great for holding old glass tube TV's on stands to the wall. It attaches to the item you want to attach to the wall with think adhesive on nylon straps. I dont think they could be depended on to hold onto a smooth glass aquarium weighing a hundred pounds with water. I would not do it. The other end attaches with wood screws in studs. Though it would be better than nothing, I would not trust it.

I don't see why not. These stands are universal and as long as you can balance it anything can be displayed. Lightsabers, Shinai, Katanas and it's smaller and larger counterparts, I've seen people display European longswords on these. I think the only weapon you might have trouble mounting on this would be a fencing foil and a rapier, as their weight distribution is kinda odd.

I agree with Darrell B. If they are mounted securely they would hold. It would also depend where the main point of the weight was placed and how long your shelf is. A normal shelf with a regular weight spread would cause no problems.

Hi. If you're dealing with drywall, I used WingIts MAWSD35B24 Master Anchor Super Duty for Drywall, and they work like a dream. They can definitely handle the weight - no problem. Good luck!

I have these brackets and use them for a 15" x 21" extension table in my camper to provide extra kitchen counter space. We load them with as many pots, pans, dishes, condiments as the space will allow. Very sturdy for this application. Now if you are gonna load bricks, anvils, car batteries, then these might not be suitable.. I wouldn't put more than sixty pounds on em. Hope this helps.

I have see the large silver hooks used AS the brackets for a curtain rod. They were on a wood and glass door (attached to the wood part) and were holding up fine. If your brackets are flat on the back where they attach to the wall they could work. The weight of everything is the issue. If the rod and curtains weigh a couple of pounds or less and no one is tugging on them then it should work.
