This is one hack of a metal Germans got there. This little strip of new invention can withstand up to 35 tons without sweat. You can also hang a 5-tonne load from your window if your window can with stand that. Regarding the temperature, this piece can stand a full 800 calcium or 1472 Fahrenheit.

For all its usefulness, Velcro hardly inspires excitement. But German engineers have taken inspiration from the mild-mannered fastener to create a version of the hook-and-loop concept with enough steely strength for extreme loads and environments.
