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

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.

I hung a picture frame that was at least 5 lbs. it depends how much tape you use

I have 12g in mine. I think it will hold 10g. I'm talking about the grounding wire though? Not the coax.

They will hold onto 26 ga wire. But you need to have space on either side of the wire to place them around the wire.

The information on the Amazon webite says 5,000 lbs, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. This device is not a rapid link, so it is not designed to hold weight constantly (like in a crane setup). I use mine to hook up a tow chain, which means that one of thej chain links will likely fail long before it reaches the 5,000 capacity of this clip.

There is an internal wire framework with a wire across the top for hanging, so that might work for you.

Probably not. The brackets used to hang it on the wall probably wouldn't support much weight

I'm not sure, it looked kind of flimsy but I've got 400 plus lbs on it and have had no problems.

I would say no. unless you have powerful anchors it might hold half that weight.

I would say about 5 pounds you hang something heavy and a wind comes up it might break

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

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.

It was very heavy duty so yes if anchored correctly I believe it would hold that much. I sent it back because it was too large for my application.

Most likely.....the hangers are extremely solid and strong and can hold up to 50 pounds each these are the best little wall hangers I have ever seen! SOLID.

Folks, I know instinct tells you to install this on studs, but the huge drywall anchor system really can and does hold 500lbs as advertised as long as you install it right and the drywall is not later damaged. Its good engineering (I am a professional engineer) and a good solution where you don't have two studs at the perfect places. I weigh over 200 lbs and it holds me up just fine.
