Farthest I've gone was 95. The hooks handled the weight fine. It's very awkward using them. If you're maxing at 125, I'd strap in some 80s to get used to the feel of them. The size of a 125 would offer very little room for error when you rack them. Haven't used them lately due to injury, they weren't the cause though. They have some negatives to them, but I still think they are useful. Also, the added grip thickness is something to think about as well. I do think they will handle the weight.

The answer is no. The most they will handle is 100lbs. Above 100lbs all bets are off! I returned my pair for a refund. They bent after the first use. I was very disappointed.

Should be able too. I put 100# on mine with no problem but that is some serious weight.

I use 45lbs regularly and they have not bent. Have had as much as 75lb on with no bend. They have been great!!

I'd call them (Powerhooks). They have gym grade Powerhooks too for a few bucks more. I know they have done contests w/ 150+ lb dumbbells.

I think you should be OK I was using 85 with them and I never felt like I was anywhere close to their max weight

I have a sportsman 570 and it is 700lbs dry so with fluids and me on it i am pushing over 900lbs and i have had no issues but like you I can see and feel them Flex. I wouldn't be concerned considering they are made of aluminum and by its nature has a lot of give and go compared to steel.

probably not. this is just like peg board so if you can get one into that then you could, but I think the "S" bend will not allow you to be able to get the end of the hook started except for the holes on the edge

I wouldn't trust it for that! It's not a steel hook. I'm careful not to let mine fall by accident.

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.

When putting between 50 and 75 lbs of load on one prong, it will bend and not support anything. This is a LIGHT duty unit, not suitable for human life support.

Most definitely. These hooks are generous and you decide how far apart to set them. We bought 2 sets, one for 10' flat water and one for 12' one. Extremely stable. BUT, like others, we used better screws. Hope this helps.

The hooks are only 1 1/2 " tall. They do not cause any problems with loading the trunk.

I used wall anchors on a brick wall with these hooks and have an 80s Japanese Lotus that is roughly 30 lbs. They are completely secure and I have a tendency to bounce my bike around a bit on the hook when hanging it up because I'm short. I would be hesitant to put anything over 40 lbs on the hooks, but it may be ok with anchors.

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

I would say yes. On the description page it says the large hook will hold up to 5 lbs. I hang a large bath sheet on mine and I haven't had any problem.

I wouldn't use it for anything too heavy. Also if what you are hanging on the hook gets too heavy you will need to install backing in your wall no matter what hook you use.

You can hang a bar from one hook and then hang the trapeze from the bar. I doubt it would be as stable as two hooks

5,000 lbs is the maximum weight the hook can sustain. I use them as tie-down hooks and would not recommend using them as a tow hook that would endure a surging pulling force that could exceed 5,000 lbs.

Thats actually a good idea! And yes I feel they would. I bought 4 packs of these hooks and maybe 3 of 40 of them were bent. Its a strong metal so unable to bend back but the ones that were useful were strong enough to hold anything.

They will however if your hooks are broken like mine are you will have trouble with them staying I'm place. They are very light weight.

The construction itself will allow for more weight than I imagine you will be putting on it. I am using them for a tall footboard. I am not sure if the design is a little off or if there is no "universal" size for the hooks but the footboard has a slight wobble. This hasn't been a safety issue but I wish the wobble didn't exist.
