Like I've said, I've been using my clipa hooks a lot lately on my train commutes. Yesterday I was carrying my large Coach Zoe which is a heavy bag with a lot of hardware. The clipa had no problem suspending my bag.
I have used it with other heavy bags including a large Isabella Fiore leather hobo with big solid brass rings and a coach Kristin Pleated Satchel with a big chain strap - so far the weight has not been an issue.
I love purse hooks! I'm using one from Luxe Link http://luxelink.com/ Their designs were the best!
Those designs are fabulous, I just have a cute frog hook I got at Macy's, he looks cute sitting on the table.
I just got a Clipa, after using the more basic ones, and love how it'll fit most table widths and unusual situations, but it's heavy! I don't really need the 45lb load, since I usually carry smaller bags. Too bad they don't have a lighter model!
You must carry a pretty small lightweight bag - (and good for you, it's better on the back and shoulder) - but the Clipa only weighs 2 ounces .... 
not IMO.. I love mine and it comes in handy a LOT. I'm with you..NO WAY do I put a designer bag (or any bag, really) on the floor.. YUCK!

So we have a postage meter at work and I weighed the Clipa and you're right, it's only 2.2 oz! I'm so embarrassed, I'm a total wimp! Time to work out!!!
But, it's honestly, the single most heavy thing in my bag, aside from my wallet. My old hook was probably less than an ounce then. I do love the Clipa though, it works everywhere on anything!I came across my purse hook earlier today. Yes, it does look a bit weird, but I think I'll stick it inside my new Burberry messenger bag. I've a feeling though that all purse hooks don't accommodate all bags. I want to try it out on my Alexander Wang bag. Not sure it'll suit...
The Clipa does.
Aha! My puirse hook isn't a Clipa. It's a thing called Myhooky, or it seems to be. I think it was made in the UK. The writing has been rubbing off the cover so I can't make out all the words. I think it came from eBay :wondering
I've been using a purse hook for a few years now and converted all my friends 
It's fantastic especially as I need my lap/bench space for my baby. Only negative - I've found a few places where the tables were too thick for the hook so try to buy one with the longest hook possible. I have both types - the clippa style & the fixed hook style.
