Does anyone know the limits on these STC'd hooks? They claim to be better than Schweizer hooks, but don't list any numbers to substantiate it. (I've emailed an inquiry to them.)

I just heard back from Pacific Aerial Towhooks.

#1200 glider weight limit using AC 43.13-2B, 804(d). Their release handles look to be at least 5:1 by design.
