The screws they use are small enough they fit right inside the cylinders ATI uses for hanging, and the cylinder head is large enough it hides the plastic. Each one is rated for 75lb, should be plenty strong enough. Been holding mine for a little over a year, and I move them up and down weekly for maintenance.
I would not recommend these. The 75lb weight is sheer strength, not pull out strength. It even says "Do not use for ceiling applications".

The regular toggles are going to be far stronger since they distribute the weight over more drywall vs those.
