They are Worth rings. I think the #5 are 150lb plus for the super strong rings. I have tested them with a lb scale and they opened a little above 150lb for me but that was a down and dirty test.

LOL you should have seen me test those rings. I put a pair of pliers into the wall when the ring opened up and fell on my ars at the same time. Just glad the wife did not see it
