Review on ClosetMaid 35543 Hanging Utility Organizer by David Herman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very strong, holds my Stihl FS75 trimmer, a curiosity when fitting.

This is a metal trimmer holder with plastic handles on the fork. The metal is quite thick, doesn't move, and holds a lot of weight. I like it. However, I noticed something strange. The fork and stylus are actually slightly off-center and not fully vertical. If you attach the bracket strictly perpendicular (lower) to each other with the two included screws, the fork will be slightly off-center and tilted about 5-8 degrees to the left. If you want to center the fork (like me). Install the top screw, then rotate the holder until the fork is vertical, then insert the bottom screw. You will notice that the two screws are not aligned vertically. Looks weird, but holds up great and I don't care. However, if you use a right angle tool, you'll notice that the fork isn't straight at the top and bottom, it's tilted to the left! So pay attention to the orientation of the plug when attaching it. Otherwise it will be quite difficult. I'm glad I chose this one. Does the job well.

Pros
  • Clothes and wardrobe storage
