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!

It'll hold a 50" work peice. The clamping strength doesn't change from the size of the clamp.

Yes, but I'm not sure about the weight. It would probably hold just droop a lot. Hope this helps!

Agree with below responses. It is difficult to work with. It does NOT tie like string as it advertises. I would use wire or other line meant to hold 100 lbs.

How much does it weigh? If you spread the weight out with a wire then it might hold a 10lb item.

Depending on how you distribute the weight, probably well over 50lbs. If you put a bottom inon the lowest wire rack it will go much higher.

As long as the weight limit is not exceeded and you are able to securely mount it, it should hold.

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.

Yes, I believe. I put the pieces in a small container so I tossed the packaging. The larger hooks and wire can hold 100lb.

Yes it can. On mine I have 500yds 40 pound braid backed with 40lb mono. It holds a lot of line weather its 5 pound or 100 pound

No problem for the wire to the holder. More important make sure you have the correct fuse for the rating of the wire.

I would say no because, while it suited to its intended purpose it does have only so much tensile strength, it does stretch some when animals get caught up in it and have had to restring my wire a few times. It seems to be made of a softer aluminum that wouldn't stand up to vines hanging from the wire.

the piece of holds very well. I believe if applied correctly, it will withstand about a pound of weight.

I don't know how much weight will it hold. But we always hang our clothes in all hooks. We are using this hanger more than a year. Very reliable and shiny.

I dont think it would hold it, by weight or the curve in the 's' isnt big enough either. these are to hang pots from a rack

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.

That would depend on what you screwed it into. However, I screwed it into Sheetrock with anchor supports designed to hold 50 lbs. on each support and I believe it would easily hold 35 to 50 lbs quite well.
