Will the clips engage in a double hung 1/2 drywall (1" total) ceiling?

No, it will not clamp down to secure the recessed light housing. The drywall is too thick.

Probably not. We had trouble getting the clips to stay in place with our standard thickness drywall ceiling.

The bracket holes are wider than 1 1/2 inches apart so you would have to use then in line with the stud, or (because of the direction I needed to run the bikes) use a piece of 1 x 2 mounted to the ceiling first crossways, then screw the brackets to that.

Theoretically, yes. You would be balancing something that is 48-72" wide on a 1 1/2 apex. A better solution is to use two clips spaced on the headboard in thirds. There are clips based on the same technology that are 6-9-12" in width. They would be more appropriate, easier to level, and spread the weight over a larger area of the wall. Hope this helps.

Yes, that will,work fine. The only thing to bear in mind with drywall anchors is that they are not quite as strong as if you screw the support into a stud. These are not too heavily loaded rhough so should work good with an anchor. You may have to cut the rod down in size if you put the two ends too close together. That is also an easy fix with a hack saw.

Yes, it will! The hoist is adjustable. It works well with all sizes of drywall.

If you drill into the studs, yes. However, the holes that are pre-drilled are not 16" apart, so you have to find the studs, then line up and put an extra hole into the hanger. No big deal, but it does tale a bit of time. I have had two of these in two different houses. Put both into the studs... Plenty of strength that way.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

They'll likely adhere around the screws but these honestly will fall right off your ceiling. They won't even stay on our floor if the sheers hit them and the magnet has full contact with the metal grate

Screw activated hooks that spring out to catch around drywall or drop ceiling

If you have a low ceiling you could have issues inserting longer handled tools into center the holes. However if so, you could place those longer tools into the front or side storage clips without a problem.

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

We have only hung a 3/4 and a full, but I see no reason why a 1/2 wouldn't fit at all. It should be just fine!

I would say no. One and a half inches would be a bit too much of a stretch for this clip. Too bad, great light otherwise.

Yes, but they will be snug. I would get a few extra just in case a couple snap. Have to say, though, thess clips worked very well.

Probably not. The cable I used with these clips is 1/4" wide and it was a tight fit into the clip.

If you're seating this directly into the drywall, I'd say yes. Although, if I recall correctly, the pre-drilled holes are spaced roughly sixteen(16) inches apart, so if you have flexibility in where you place the hanger, you can simply drive a screw into the stud on one end, level it, and the other hole should line up with the other stud.

Use the screws. Drills easily enough and won't come off. The clips will work. Just don't trust them.
