Thanks guys.
Steve, I have bent 1/4" alternator bolts in it to make hanging hooks, so you will be fine. I probably should have listed the capacity at 1/4"
I would imagine using thicker studs and increasing the spacing would allow larger capacity. The failing point might be the stud in the handle. However, this could be strengthened by adding a small gusset at the rear.
As I said, I simply used what was on hand and there was no real thought or planning. It was a try it and see approach.
