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!

This should hold you. I would recommend buying a stronger like 500 lb paracord to be safe, but this should hold you. My rope tore so I gotparacord but I also am 6"3 235 lbs. I hope this helped!

Agree with below responses. It is difficult to work with. It does NOT tie like string as it advertises. I would use wire or other line meant to hold 100 lbs.

I have my set of cast iron (#4 - #12) set hanging from mine, which weighs about 40 lbs. With a few miscellaneous pieces on top. As long as you drill into studs and it's a sturdy setup you should be fine.

Yes. Mine was 18 or 20 gage solid wire. I was told stranded wire will not work because it carries a radio transmission. I have it around 5 acres and it works perfect.

In my experience it will hold the weight if mounted properly. I currently have a stainless set, one large cast iron pan, and several heavy text books on mine to test its durability. It's been almost a year and no issue! If you've got it mounted to studs, I think you're smooth sailing.

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.

Way more than strong enough. The problem I had was that they shorted me something like 8 inches so I couldn't use it for my application. Keep in mind that it will stretch when stressed. I used it to pull 250 lbs and at 25 feet it stretched several inches. For a couple of feet and with multiple strands stretching won't be an issue.

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

I would think that if you used enough of it that it would work. totally filled I would guess the weight to be around 10-12 pounds and there are mounting tapes to hold such a weight. Thats just my best guess. Hope that helps Masoumeh.

the piece of holds very well. I believe if applied correctly, it will withstand about a pound of weight.

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

You should be able to. Just make sure that you use the correct weight command strip to hang it.

If you anchor it to a stud, it will and should hold substantial weight. If it's just screwed into drywall, I would think it would hold a jacket or two but I would use screw anchors in the drywall to provide a more sturdy hold.

Well, I think it would hold up okay on wire racks as this is pretty sturdy. But it depends on the spacing of the wires on the rack. I'd say no more than 1/4" spacing would be okay.

Think of it like a hollow-wall anchor that might hold a picture hook. Not so much weight, but when properly installed can certainly accomodate wiring and/or "wall wart" style plugs if you're running electrical.

I have 12g in mine. I think it will hold 10g. I'm talking about the grounding wire though? Not the coax.
