Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rubbermaid 5A47 30-Tool Corner Tool Rack
Customer Review: Durable Enough....But Photo Misleading
Summary: 2 Stars
I picked up one of these Rubbermaid racks at a local home center just this past summer. Its sturdy enough and well made in my opinion. And for what Amazon is asking for it, its reasonable enough for what you get. However, there are two things that I feel one should consider as to this units design before ordering. The first is to take note that this is a corner unit only. It cannot be placed in a shed or garage against a flat surface without it sticking out and taking up needless room. Make sure you have a corner in mind or planned for it. The second thing to consider is the units low profile that pretty much prevents it from holding and storing the very tools that it is pictured with. This unit is under two feet in height, making it very inefficient and unsteady for storing tall rakes and brooms with heavy heads on them like the ones pictured. Fill this rack up with just what is displayed and you would be just fine. As long as you don't ever go near it or touch it. Then it will tend to spill and fall over on you. The unit comes with a hook that is supposed to "anchor" it to the wall. Anchored meaning it is merely held to the wall, not screwed or bolted to it. Anchoring this unit as suggested with an S hook makes it no where near secure enough to handle the tall heavy tools that it is pictured with. It will still manage to move, bend, twist around, etc, with every removal and replacement. Its very corner design makes it quite difficult to solidly attach it to a corner wall or floor. This rack is a good choice if you have a corner for it in mind, and if you have a series of low profile yard tools and such that would not tend to overload it. The S hook anchoring system is efficient enough for that. (I found enough tools and implements that fit that description to make it worth keeping). However if your collection of tools are similar to the ones displayed in the photo here, I would suggest seeking out a higher profile rack. This one is unfortunately just not high enough for what the picture suggests in my opinion...Customer Review: EASY!

This product was SO easy to put together and worked perfectly to organize our tools in the garage. We previously used nails on the wall to hang rakes, shovels, etc. but since we now have a toddler, this was a much better and safer option. So far, there's no way she can remove anything from this rack...I think she'd need to be at least a foot or two taller to maneuver a tool out of it. This is a great organizational rack and fit wellCustomer Review: Excellent garden tool organizer
Summary: 5 Stars
It cleaned up the clutter in my garage.
Pros:
Very Easy to setup
Neatly arranges most of my garden tools, specially my broom
Fits nicely on the corner so it is out of the way
Inexpensive
Cons:
It is plastic so just like any Rubbermaid or plastic rack, do not put heavy tools on top. The long Rakes are ok because they do not sit on top of the rack. The heavy motorized hedgers should probably be put somewhere else. I only put my electric hedger since it is light.
Summary:
Just use your common sense and this will help clear and organize your garage.
Customer Review: Fabulous Organizer!

Easy to assemble, durable Rubermaid construction.The garage and house tools tend to be top heavy, mops and brooms,so either mount it to the wall or put some weight on the base to keep it from tipping.
