How much weight can the tool hangers hold? Can this be modified to hang bikes?

The supplied hooks are probably not strong enough to hold a bike. I think you might be able to modify to hold a bike if you attached a piece of wood (e.g. 2x4 or 1x2) to the ceiling "rafters". Run the wood across the width of the ceiling (about 7 feet) and attach hooks to the wood. Maybe you could get two bikes hung. By the way, outside dimension of footprint frame is 27.5" x 85.5". Max height at highest peak is 81.5" You would have a bit over 6' of hanging height to work with for the bikes.

Not at all. This rack can handle almost anything you can hang up. Won't sway and won't bend

They are too small for a plastic hanger, though a wire hanger would fit. It will only hold 1/2 lb so that may limit what you could hang on it.

I think they would be OK for a small kids bike but wouldn't hang a full size bike from them. They support the roof and I wouldn't want to risk damaging them

I'm using it with a full sized road bike. I have the rear tire on the ground, so this hook holds the front wheel. Distance from the wall to the inside of the hook is 4.25". Because I have this going into drywall anchors, I take the weight off it by having the rear wheel on the ground. If the rack was screwed into wood, then you could suspend a bicycle in the air easily.

These are rather well constructed hangers -- though designed to hold weight bearing upon the mounting plate. Not supporting hanging weight. My speakers may weight about 25 lbs each. Using and mounting them as designed they work perfect for me. I would not attempt to hang my speakers placing the mounting assembly upside down. You can make anything work -- actually.

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.

I hang all sorts of stuff - but never tires...... but I am pretty sure they will hold them. I hang a 20ft extension ladder off of them with zero problems. I don't think you could bend one with your hands, just a FYI. YMMV

In the mfg. rating it says maximum weight 200lbs. It also states for bicycle racks only!

I do not know the weight limit on the hooks themselves. In our car(s) they have held backpacks full of books and school stuff, as well as my computer bag. I'm guessing easily can hold 20lbs. if using both "appendages" of the one hook. I can not imagine what one would hang from these hooks that would be too heavy.

It seems there is nothing on offer that will hold a large frame up to 10 pounds. The highest weight ones that are available (according to 3M) hold up to 8 pounds. These are their "Sticky Nail Wire Back Hangers" which are designed to allow you to hold up a fairly solid frame. The large ones only support up to 4 lbs. Amazon sells the highest capacity ones here:Command Sticky Nail Wire-Back Hanger

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

I guess if u have a higher cieling and lighter bikes (35lbs max of each bike) but I suggest just get 2 of these and put it against the wall and hang your 4bikes in twos and u will appreciate it.

There are better and cheaper ways to store a bike by hanging it on a wall. I think you risk damaging the frame or finish repeatedly clamping the bike into this tool.

Hooks are adjustable and it was easy. I have a trek road bike on top and a ladies bike with a basket from Japan on the bottom. No issues for me at all. I would post pics, but the response section wont let me.

Not unless the sell some type of different adapter/holder than what comes with it. They will only hold bikes. I would say, this seems like a bit of an overkill for boards. I have mine hanging on my walls and they sit pretty flush to the wall. Neat and out of the way. They sell a lot of different options for this, and they'll be much cheaper than this stand.

not the way I use it. Maybe you could fit 30 wire hangers bare but in practice I doubt if I get 15 you could remove wheels and it will workIn addition I omitted one lower branch and was able hang long items such as trousersIt is very sturdy and that is it's best featureadw
