Yep. When you use any hook on a garage wall, throw away the screws they come with
and use at least 3" bolts. It's a good idea to drill the joists first that way
you don't split the 2x4 with a bolt. Just make the hole slightly smaller
than the solid center on your bolt.

Never trust anything anchored to just sheet rock unless you use a molley-bolt or
toggle bolt. Those plastic push-anchors and not good for heavy loads.
