How Much Weight Can A Wall Anchor Support. One 2″ x 4″ x 8′ #2 spruce pine stud is good for about 3000 lbs of compressive load, when held in place by drywall. They can be threaded anchors, straight plastic anchors and winged plastic anchors.

Not much, maybe a couple of pounds. I'm trying to find out how much weight a stud can hold. Can the metal studs support the weight? Keep the manufacturer's guidelines for recommended weight.
