I think the way the hooks are attached is fairly normal for this kind of rack, I believe it's referred to as a gun rack (obligatory).
I posted a pic in bb.com craigslist thread, I think it's actually the Body Solid Multi-Press Rack. It's a well reviewed rack as far as stability and all that, the obvious concern is safety. Like I said, I'm an experienced lifter in terms of experience under a barbell. I haven't had to bail on a squat since max day in freshman football, and I'm almost 30 (I'm totally over it though...).
At this point, the real question for me is whether I would rather just drop the extra $ for the PPR200x and whatever olympic set I end up with (Dicks or Craigslist, lets say $150-200). The power rack gives me the option of a dip attachment, and MAYBE pullups, if I feel safe sticking my big dumb head between the joists. On the other hand, weight storage is always a nice bonus. On the other other hand, the rack actually has a smaller footprint. I'm not incredibly strained for space, but it's always nice.
I'm a little confused about your concern regarding the hook spacing. Do you just mean I might not be able to rack exactly where I would like, like having 3" holes on a rack vs 2"?
Is it safe to hang/pull up from a barbell resting on a rack? I have a home gym with a half rack and I'd like to try to do pull ups. Is it safe if I place the bar on the highest notch and use it as a pull up bar? Here's the rack I have: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Solid-GPR370-Body-Solid-Multi-Press/dp/B00HAURYRK
I have the Body-Solid Multi Press rack and it is extremely sturdy and well-made. Definitely recommend. It also has built-in plate storage, and strong 17" safety rods that could catch the bar if you drop it, so it's a great all-in-one solution.
The only downside is that you don't have as much protection from accidents as a full power rack, where you're essentially lifting inside a cage and it's virtually impossible to drop the weights on yourself. Body-Solid also makes one of those, and it also looks very sturdy. It's larger and more expensive, and doesn't have plate storage, but if you have the space and money it looks like a great choice.
