V HOOKS and S HOOKS

[Guest]

does anybody know how much weight the different size v & s hooks hold? it gives the dia. of the wire but not how much it can hold.

Re: V HOOKS and S HOOKS

I believe the shape of the hook falls under preference. And both of the same diameter will hold equal weight.

.044? diameter 5 lbs
.062? diameter 10 lbs
.076? diameter 25 lbs
.120? diameter 50 lbs.
.180? diameter 80 lbs
These are the "weight rec`s" for our "S" hooks???
If we hear a "crash" we know you have gone over weight

Re: V HOOKS and S HOOKS

Depending on how you clean the hooks, if you burn the powder coating off the hooks, they loose their strength each time you burn the coating off. Especially the lighter gauge hooks, one burn off make them useless. I use the bigger paper clips for small jobs, then I just throw them away.

I throw them in a small bucket of DZolve 1012 after use. A quick water rinse the next day and they're ready to use again with no weakening.
