What is the realistic minimum bend radius? (realistic meaning movable hooks around the bend) Thanks!

Hi, I did a 90' bend, hooks are movable BUT it has to be done carefully has hooks are made of plastic. Other idea is buying rings that can fit around the tube and will make it easier to hook a curtain a move it around. Hope this is helpful :)

Well honestly speaking I was not able to bend the rod as it was specified online. But the texture of the rod is acceptable for movable hooks.

My shower curtain rod has two 45 degree bends and it's pretty tight, when opening and closing the curtain. Still workable, but tight. I wouldn't want to go more than 45. I hope this helps.

Hello, Tom from the ShowerAuthority team here. You can bend the curtain rod profile 90 degree as long as you maintain a minimum of a 6 inch radius. It is helpful to bend the profile around some round object and make "babysteps" while bending. The profile will spring back a little and it's best to do it in small increments until you reach the final shape.

I just measured a lever that I had loose. I tightened the screw all the way down to stop. The smallest the clamp will pull down is about .850-.860" which is about 21.84mm. On the wide side you can stretch it open to about .890" which is about 22.6mm. At those extreme dimensions the hole is no longer round. It was kinda sketchy going that tight, you might induce unwanted stress into the aluminum clamp that could fracture later when in use. It might work ok on an alloy bar within those dimensions but might pinch and crack carbon.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

I have had 90 lbs on each hook and they do not show any remote sign of failing. I have heard these can hold well over 100 lbs each and probably even double that to be honest. Unless you're throwing weights and pressing over 200 lb dumbells like Spoto I wouldn't even worry about these hooks failing at all.

My unit doesn't bend easily. It is very rigid and has a good handle to grip. I use it a lot, and I've never had an issue.

I'm sorry but without the full ad I don't know what they're referring to. My guess would be circumference. You can make any sized loop by using the round part starting at the end working your way up the pliers which will make bigger loops. This tool makes the best loops of anything I've tried. I use it for loops for earrings.

I agree with Molly, 10 pounds would be my max for one hook. Consider there are others of thicker gauge that will hold much more.

The edges fold around and around again to make a rigid box shape (a U shape on each vertical edge). If it were flat, it would be flimsy and you couldn't put hooks thru it. However this edges are about 3/4" wide and if you use good quality double sided mounting tape, it should hold just fine. Better still, just put a couple of screws in it. It is no big deal to do and that way you can be sure it won't fall down.

THE HOOK/CURVED AREA IS 1.5 " WIDE. However, I have to amend my initial review regarding the stability of the bottom rack. My initial review addressed that the "holders" for the bottom rack did not support the weight of the clothes, and I used duct tape to reinforce them. That did not work. I suggest when you determine the length of the bottom rack, that you drill a small hole and use a screw to hold that rack in place. As I am not really proficient with doing that, I am going to try fiber-fix, which is stronger than duct tape. Hope this is helpful.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

Yes that would work. You have to Physically bend each piece a little to open up the radius.

They do not bend. You can place them around a bend on angles. They are very stiff and strong.

one may possibly be able to use for that purpose, but it is more springy then most of the hooks I have seen of this diameter. it will also rust with water, so would need to be dipped after bending.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

The angle of the T-Post will have marginally affect the performance of this tool. We have some T-posts that were driven it at an angle and others that were severely bent. Whilst this posed some "hooking" issues, the end result was the same. The posts were removed with minimal to moderate effort. I hope this helps.

The capacity of each hook is approximately 100 lbs. The further out on the hook the less capacity. It is important to use metal screws (not wood screws) to attach. Make sure you are securing to at least two (2) inch material (2"x4" or 2"x6"). Put in a number screws per hanger.

About 1/4", little thinner than a #2 pencil. I've got several (50lb. plus) surplus duffle bags hanging on 2 hooks, for awhile now, no failures, the hooks themselves have not bent or anything. Garage looks like an Invasion of the Body Snatchers set, w/ a dozen+ "pods" hanging from the rafters... but it works great for me.
