Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are the holders made of?

The holders are made of bright zinc-plated steel.

Do the holders come with screws for mounting?

No, the screws for mounting are not included with the product.

How many tools can one holder store?

Each holder is designed to store one long-handled tool.

Are the rubber caps replaceable?

The rubber caps are permanently attached to the holders for optimal performance and protection.

Can these holders be used outdoors?

Yes, the zinc-plated steel provides resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for use in outdoor or shed environments, though regular cleaning is advised.

What is the primary use case for these holders?

They are designed for organizing long-handled tools such as forks, shovels, rakes, and brooms in sheds, garages, stables, or workshops.

What is the benefit of the rubber-capped tips?

The rubber caps protect the handles of your tools from scratches and damage when they are stored in the holders.

Troubleshooting

Holder feels loose after installation

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screws for your mounting surface. Verify that the mounting surface itself is robust. Tighten screws securely but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the screw hole.

Tool handle does not fit securely

Check the diameter of your tool handle against the holder's opening. These holders are best suited for standard handle sizes. Consider if a different type of tool storage solution might be more appropriate for unusually sized handles.

Rust spots appearing on the holder

While the zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh, damp conditions may eventually lead to minor surface rust. Wipe the affected area with a soft cloth. For persistent issues, consider applying a protective coating or relocating the holders to a drier environment.

  • Protects tool handles with rubber caps.
  • Easy to install on various surfaces.
  • Helps reduce clutter in sheds, garages, or stables.

Cons

  • Requires drilling and screwing for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To install the Stubbs Fork and Shovel Holders, you will need a suitable mounting surface (e.g., a wooden wall, a sturdy pegboard, or a panel). Use appropriate screws (not included) to securely fasten each holder. Ensure the surface is strong enough to support the weight of the tools. It is recommended to space the holders according to the length of the tools you intend to store.

Compatibility:

These holders are designed for tools with handles that can rest within the U-shaped bracket. They are generally compatible with standard-sized garden tools, stable forks, shovels, brooms, and similar long-handled implements. Very thick or unusually shaped handles may not fit securely.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the holders, wipe them down periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the zinc plating or rubber caps. Ensure the rubber caps remain intact to provide optimal protection for your tools.
