I love this rack for hanging shovels, rakes, brooms, etc. in our garage. The included handle mounts work well for heavier items like shovels. I've used 1/4 inch hooks to hang other items and they work too. Slotted mounts attach more securely to the band than 1/4" pin hooks. The dowels supplied with the strips were not sufficient. I had to remove most of the strips and reattach them with heavier dowels. Finding the right anchor is a little tricky due to the 3/4 inch gap between the wall and the screw head. This would be a five star rating if the correct anchors were supplied with the planks.
