Are these straps durable? I see the plastic on the ends and worry that might snap under a significant enough force.

Very. The factor that you may have to determine is can you find a stud to secure it. I had to move a dresser a slight bit to one to ensure my screws would be effective. Each plastic piece is solid with two screw holes that when fastened to a stud it will be flush to the wall and in essence part of it. I've test the strength on all of my dressers. If the dresser is close to the wall and you have fastened it properly. Before the dresser can fully tilt, the strap catches it and is impossible for the full weight of the dresser to even put tension on the strap and plastic.

We have a full wall unit entertainment center and have a straps on either side and they work great. We also have one on our sons dresser. We have 3 little ones and one is a climber. Needless to say everything is still attached to the wall and kids are all intact as well. ;) I love these things

I've never had an issue. I have 2 straps supporting a tall desk of mine that is very very heavy and our cats are constantly jumping on top of it. The straps have held it very well. The plastic pieces are very thick and well made.

They go so tight that only a significant force could get enough force to pull it apart. We use it for our tv and two tall narrow bookcases without problems.

I found my twins on there dresser this morning. Didn't move a muscle. Top notch!

The ends are plastic, yes; but I feel that they are very durable. I have not experienced significant force, but I believe they would withstand since the screws are 1.5 inches and into wall studs and into the frame of the bookcase or dresser. I believe the weak spot in my particular case would be the frame of the bookshelf...that is just my guess.

Yes they are more durable than regular plastic plate but you should still be careful.

They can, just remember one end is permanently longer. Unlike other straps where you can tighten it down to 6" long.

Hi Dave.They are very durable. I use them for hauling two full size touring kayaks to the lake. Each kayak is @ 70 lbs plus the rack alone is another 20lbs -no flexing at all. good product.

So far they seem fine. I have had over 150 lbs on them so far and no problems. The metal rings on the stops were a problem until I super glued them. The ones on the low cable were so loose when I was doing low rows the metal ring got stuck and stripped some of the coating off down to the wire. Didn't like that but since the glue I have had no problems.

Seem to be very strong, however I always use a tether to my helmet strap "just in case". I use them on my whitewater kayaking helmet and have not it fail yet. This includes capsizing and rolling up in my kayak

Yes they are very strong and durable. Depending on how you stack them, they will interlock too.

the clips that attach the strap to the bag are metal (yea) so I don't think they would break easily. the neoprene shoulder part(half inch) is quite stretchy- (cushy, but stretchy) I stretched mine and it stretched a good couple of inches. So your bag might hang a little lower.

I have used them multiple times and they seem to be very durable. Of course if you rip them apart every time that you use them anything will wear out in time...

They are pretty strong. I have been using them for over 8 months. No problems. I am going to buy two more soon.

I don't know the answer to the technical questions but the straps were plenty long enough and worked well to hold a large van on a car hauler trailer for over 3000 miles. One strap did slip off on a very bumpy stretch of highway but I may not have had it tight enough. Once I really sinched it down it was fine.

They seem pretty durable to me. I'd say they'd hold up. They don't work very well for inside use, just an FYI

Yes. Definitely. The straps and rings themselves are very sturdy and reliable. The hard part is finding a solid place to hang the rings from. I have mine hanging from the rafters in my garage so the real weight challenge is on the rafters, not the rings/straps.

If it is just the metal and not anything broken off you should be fine. They are quite tough!

My only concern are the tie down points. I wrap my tie downs around the support bar. The welded rings are probably fine, but the weak link in my opinion.

The stability and any sharp edges would be my main concern. Another factor is what you're hoisting and the danger of injury if something fails. The strap has a 10,000 lbs breaking strength but a torn strap would be my fear.
