"supports" long tools leaning against a fixed member, within a triangular enclosure, with most of the tool weight bearing on the floor. Most other devices "hold" the long tools, which either places them precariously on small pegs or balances them within an enclosure, which can be prone to top heaviness and tipping. |
| Q. |
What installation hardware do I need to buy? |
| A. |
None, in most cases. If you have a hammer and a screwdriver, you are all set. You don't even need an electric drill as we provide a proper sized nail to create the pilot holes. |
| Q. |
How long does it take to install? |
| A. |
About five to ten minutes. |
| Q. |
How can you guarantee forever? |
| A. |
This product has been in development for several years. It is designed for permanence and is made of the finest galvanized steel available, not plastic or vinyl, which can deteriorate. |
| Q. |
Will my pruner and trowel fit into the Special Tool Holder? |
| A. |
A great deal of research went into the Tool Shelf and each dimension was carefully determined, based upon the hand tools available on the market. This unit will hold about 95% of them. |
| Q. |
How well does work for mops, brooms and waxers? |
| A. |
The principle of storage is the same and it works extremely well. For example, a wet mop is stored with the head up and the strands hang free from the shoulder, permitting maximum air circulation for drying, to help avoid sourness. Brooms stored properly, with bristles up, will not become warped and curled, will sweep better and last much longer. |
| Q. |
What other items will store? |
| A. |
It's great for sports equipment; hockey sticks, oars, fishing poles, Tiki torches, flag poles, even lumber, pipe and building materials. |
| Q. |
Can I install in a broom closet? |
| A. |
Yes, as long as there is sufficient clearance to insert and remove the brooms and mops. You can check your space by stretching a piece of masking tape from one wall to the other, near the corner, for a distance of 19 inches or longer, 35 inches from the floor. Then see if you can conveniently insert and remove tools within this temporary triangular enclosure. |
