They were however (IMHO) NOT strong enough to use as he is.  I don't think they were marked with a Maximum or Working load.  They were stocked in the bins above the chain.

No, but the link above it is and the largest I've seen at Lowe's was 
1200# (they may carry larger).  They have a manufacturer's or 
distributor's tag that lists the permissible working load.  I use them 
for temporary stuff that doesn't require a lot of strength.
