So how much weight can these things hold? I've put some shelves up using
them, and am now concerned they're gonna fall down onto my head! Been up for
a few years now though and don't appear to have moved.


Don't worry - the use here was for hanging something from a ceiling
rather than a wall, and the loading is rather different in each case.
