Calculations for a lifting tool for a bar

[QUOTE="oblong-pea, post: 6850051, member: 670528"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] Is the analysis for this lifting tool as simple as? I'm designing a lifting tool for a bar with a flared head. The bar is say 10m long and 10mm in diameter with a head on the top that is 20mm in diameter and 10mm thick. There is a fillet from the head to the bar of 2mm (for reducing stress concentrations). The bar will be lifted vertically and then transported to the side. Therefore i'm not expecting transverse forces such as torsion or shear. I'm trying to do some FEA and hand calcs on designs for lifting tools and the below seems too simple? I tend to second guess myself but is it as simple as: P=F/A Where F = the weight of the bar x 9.81 for a force and A = The area under the flared head which is engaged with a lifting tool? Much appreciated [/QUOTE]
