How much weight can these handy hooks support? It depends, especially on what type of surface it is sticking to. As described in How Much Will a Magnet Hold, it depends very much on the friction between the two surfaces, which is difficult to predict. Here are the results from a few measurements we made:
Surface | Supported Load [lb] |
Thick (1") steel plate, cold rolled steel | 10 -12 |
Steel Door, Painted | 5 - 6 |
Refrigerator (painted steel) | 4 - 5 |
Filing Cabinet | 7 - 9 |
