We bought this for a walk in the pantry where there was always a mess in the corner with broom, mops etc. This thing solved our chaos problem perfectly. We filled all the slots and cleared 3 out of 4 hooks. It's as strong as a rock against a wall. I've found that the small balls aren't that strong so the handles tend to slip until they reach a point where the tool is too big to go through. Nothing fancy but make sure you hang it high enough on the wall for your tools to slide down a bit.
