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!

My stone weighed about 100 lbs. at most. IMHO, I don't think it could support a 500 lb. stone.

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.

As long as it is secured to something that will hold it-I would say yes. It is a top heavy unit so the securing item has to be pretty heavy or solidly secured.

You're safe. I drop my squats on them, and I promise it's more than the 500lbs they say it holds.

Depends on weight mine held my loaded 500 with 18.5" barrel I was curious one day

I would guess that it would hold that...my first one arrived un-assembled, and one of the chains didn't have a clip, so I couldn't put it together...after my bad review I was sent another one, but have not used it as I had already come up with an alternative that I preferred by the time it got here...it also seemed like it had come straight from China, which made me a little weary, but I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that :P :)

Yeah it will hold it, I was unsure of the strength when I ordered it but its actually pretty strong and sturdy, I also thought it was the best choice for the price

Not as much as I tried to hang on it...had it pretty full and thought all was good until I came back down to the basement later in the day and it had fallen over and one of the poles bent :( (sorry for the somewhat tongue-in-cheek answer...I don't know exact pounds...I had pants and suits hanging in it. It wasn't bursting at the seams, but was relatively full.)

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.

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

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

I believe it will hold from 300 to 400#. It's very strong and sturdy. I recommend it highly!

Yes. There is a set screw that will hold 12 wag wire. I used monster cable and it has worked great!

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

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

Yes,certainly. Refer to the UL rating. In fact i tested it by hanging on it and i weigh 175 lbs. So for a static load, it is good for almost 2.5 times more than its rated capacity.
