Grook Tool Holder

We generally dig in for a little fall cleaning this time of year. Which reminded us to share how much we like these Grook Tool Holders, which can be found, among many places, at the Container Store...

Grooks store handled tools for everything from cleaning to gardening. Their non-slip rubber hooks grab tools at the hook and between hooks, which makes for a lot of storage in not-very-much space.

Do you have one? How well does it work what with putting stuff in the loops and on the hooks and in between the loops? It seems like it wouldn't quite hold as much stuff as I would want. I might have to try it anyways though, it's better than just having stuff all over the place leaning in the corners...

Its a totally awesome little rack -- and it can hold a lot -- you just have to sort of layer some of the things if you are doubling up. works like a charm. my parents have one too.

would it work in the kitchen, too? It looks like it might be good for pots of cooking utensils if it's sturdy enough.

i have one in the garage for all of the brooms and swifter and it is holding up really well. my husband wanted one that really would grip the broom handles and we finally decided on this one and have been really happy with it.

Like Signe, the husband and I use one of these in our garage. We've had it for about 2.5 years now and highly recommend it.

I work at a Canadian equivalent (or rip-off) of the container store and 10 to 1 we outsell the Casabella Grook racks with the "Magic Holders"

while it doesn't come in pretty colours that the Grook holders do, it's easier to use. You just click the broom handles in and out, instead of having to shove them in the bottom. I much prefer it.

Funny. I just installed one last night in our utility room. I was a little worried about pulling out the screws when I removed brooms/mop etc., but if you sort of pry them off rather than yank I think it will hold up. The hooks on the outside of the grippers are really useful, too.

Only drawback is that since things are layered once it's fully loaded, you have to pull things off to get to what you want.
