Big Regret - Towel Rack

Some idiot thought they should create a hanger that tightens as the bracket slides down the wall mount. The problem is that the back of the binding isn't flat like a pair of skis like it should be, the firing pin is recessed and so the sharp edges make immediate contact with the wall. The result is that the fitting will stick to the wall before the fitting has moved far enough into a permanent rest position that they will dig into the drywall and scrape off the new paint. Then when you try to rock them to fit them better, they just bite into the drywall, leaving a ring of indentations. There is absolutely no reason why these mounts couldn't be standard mounts where you simply place the mount onto the wall piece and tighten with an Allen key. This is an excellent example of an engineer with no installation experience developing hardware. They may work well on hard plaster that hasn't been freshly painted, but it's hard to tell.

Pros
  • Zinc Die Cast Metal for Stability
Cons
  • Small Items
