I used the proper hooks.
This stuff, specifically, is crap. Breaks and tears out
very easily.
The brown stuff they have is the same.

I'm estimating the TrU pegboard can hold easily 10x the weight on a double-hole hook. Using a 1' long 3/16th diameter hook, it takes quite a bit of downward force on the end to get the holes to think about tearing out... the hooks are
bending.
Just did a quick weight test. Full gallon of water at the end of a 1 foot hook, no problem.
The HD stuff tears out long before that.
