I'm looking for hooks that can hold up the weight of two school kids' backpacks. Are these hefty enough to do it?

My husband used bigger screws than what it came with and made sure they went into the studs not just the drywall. In that case I'd say yes.

The construction itself will allow for more weight than I imagine you will be putting on it. I am using them for a tall footboard. I am not sure if the design is a little off or if there is no "universal" size for the hooks but the footboard has a slight wobble. This hasn't been a safety issue but I wish the wobble didn't exist.

I hang my heavy purse and a small backpack on it. It would depend on heavy the three backpacks are. Also, the hooks would be high for kids. I have been quite happy with it but it really use mostly for coats.

I would guess the most weight I've put on these hooks is 20#. The hooks are very strong...I'd worry more about the (pull of the weight on the) rafter than the strength of the hook. Be aware though, the "lip" on the hook is not very tall. I would suggest using at least 2 hooks per tire. It helps keep the hook from "leaning" sidways.

They might not hold them tightly enough and may fall off and annoy you. For that, I might recommend a larger climbing carabiner. Hope this helps.

All depends on how heavy the load is that you want to put on there. They're not "heavy duty" but should hold moderate load.

Yes. Should hold. At its widest, the hooks can accommodate something around 2.25/2.5" across, and it's deep enough to hold something around the same. The flatter the tube, perhaps there's some chance of wobble.

I used them to hang some metal sculpture outside. I used 2 hooks and think it should support at least 7-8 lbs.

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.

These hooks would be much too small to cover a 2 inch rafter and much too weak to hold the weight...I would not hang anything over 5 to 7 pounds from one of the hooks. They are ideal for pots and light plants etc.

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.

Yes these will hold them. you can also get the HEAVY DUTY version of these ASIN: B0037KMSSW for heavy weight clothes for just a few pennies more per hanger.

yes. I put my kids backpack on the hooks and heavy stuff on top from time to time. I did put strong screws on it.

Yes, they are quite strong, I use them to hold out going mail, stacks of Trucker Permits, Purse, I even bought some ans sent them to my children.

I would not recommend using these hooks at a weight that exceeds their rating, given that they are plastic. And there is no good way to distribute the weight among 3 hooks. Maybe 2, yes, but not 3. I would recommend metal hanger hardware; for example this one, rated at 200 pounds: OOK 55099 Heavy-Duty Drywall Hanger Supports Up to 200 Pounds

They will however if your hooks are broken like mine are you will have trouble with them staying I'm place. They are very light weight.

I have mine hung up with stick on hooks that you can find just about anywhere these days. They seem to be plenty strong enough for the weight of the product. I used wire to allow the board to sit flat if that is important to you. Hope this helps.
