Review on πŸ”§ Efficient 64-Inch Garage Hooks Tool Organizer: Wall Mounted Adjustable Storage System for Garden Tools, Rakes, Mops, Brooms, and Yard Tools by Veronica Fermin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

ATTEMPTED BRIBERY - and - Tool holder dropping tools (and some suggestions on how to fix it)

UPDATE This company has emailed me 16 times in the last two weeks and given me Revain gift cards offered. of increasing value to remove my honest and accurate review. I replied with a list of specific improvements they could make to their imperfect product design, but they ignored my reply and started pestering me with emails offering me more gift cards again. In my opinion this is highly unethical and casts doubt on Revain's entire rating system. If they improve their product design I will revise and update my review accordingly. Until then, my rating will remain as it is. FIRST OVERVIEW I'm going to go straight to the main problem I had with this tool holder and the solutions I found to deal with it. After installation, this tool holder doesn't work for about half of my tools. The hooks didn't hold them in place, otherwise I would have to give them a specific shape to hold them in place. However, if I bump the rack or instrument lightly or remove an adjacent instrument, one or more instruments will either fall out of the rack or "fly" out of it. This can be dangerous with some sharper tools like picks or shovels. Hooks use leverage and friction to hold tools. Leverage is the angle of the hook relative to the axis of the tool handle. Friction is caused by the "sticky" rubber-porous coating on the hooks. This is ideal for tools with thick or rough handles. It didn't work for my smooth surfaced tools or those with powder coated metal handles. These tools either slipped off the hooks immediately or "thumped" outwards even with light blows. Sandpaper for roughening tool handles. I had to use a rasp on some of my wooden handles to get a rough finish to create friction to grip the hooks. 3) Place a ring of tape around the handle where you want to hook the hook. Some people have complained that the little plastic pins don't stay in the rack. Here's my solution: 1) Use a mallet or mallet to drive the pins in. It is almost impossible to "snap" the pins by hand. I installed this rack in just a few days. I'll see if my solutions work in the future, but I suspect this stand will annoy me enough to replace it with a more robust solution at some point in the future.

Pros
  • PERFECT TOOL STORAGE SYSTEM
Cons
  • Factor set
