bottoms up
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The thing falls over if you don’t have the tools properly spaced with weight even out! Pain and my husband doesn’s like it! Wasn’t a good gift and I think I will drill it to the wall so it doesn’t bottom’s up again!
Better than I had expected
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I wasn’t totally convinced that the plastic would be strong enough to hold all of the yard tools I had piled in a corner. But it’s working like a charm! I made sure to put the heavier items like shovels towards the back to prevent tipping. But I think even if I hadn’t done that, tipping probably wouldn’t be too much of an issue. I was pretty amazed at how much more space I have now that all of the tools actually have someplace to go. Wish I had bought this a long time ago!
Nice rack!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This rack was very well designed to hold garden tools. It fits very neatly in the corner of my garage and is easy to store/remove items. It appears to be made of a durable plastic that should last for years.
Great idea? Warning.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This looked like a great way to organize the tools in my garage. I set it up and later that night heard a crash. It had fallen over with the top half separating from the bottom. We set it up again, this time putting a brick at the back for weight. It fell over again! A few days later I discovered dents and scratches in my car caused by the longer tools falling into it! Do not use this for many long items or anything heavy. I bought it mainly for snow shovels and rakes, which was the majority of clutter in my garage. It should be mounted to the wall (Rubbermaid does not suggest this in the instructions) or used for smaller lightweight items which, in that case, is more practical to just hang up.
Very Functional
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Much more functional than the rectangular ones. Could use some hooks but metal S hooks work great. Very sturdy.
Durable Enough….But Photo Misleading
Rating:2 out of 5 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…
Can’t handle the weight
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I purchased this item to use in the unused corner of my shop. The rack is not tall enough to be stable, and frequently spilled the tools onto the floor. Could be used for small tools, but not with tools with long handles, like those in the picture. They must have taken the picture in the moments before the unit fell over. It now resides in an unused corner of my dumpster.
Does the job
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This corner tool rack does everything it promised to do: sit in an corner and hold tools. Assembly was intuitive, and it took less than 5 minutes. I’m pleased that tool clutter has been resolved.
great for corners
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Our garage is small, and we are trying to use the space wisely. We purchased this corner tool-stand-er-upper to keep rakes, shovels, brooms, hoes, etc from the usual pile-up, fall down in the corner space. It holds even the heavy shovels, and does not fall over.
Does the job, but expensive for what it is…
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The rack does the job perfectly, but 25-30 bucks for five simple pieces of plastic? Plastic shelf systems sell for this price and are more complicated in design and have more pieces..
Good concept
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
One big problem – you’re putting stuff in front of other stuff. Peg board is still more practical.
Nice product

Bought this to organize my tools and it does an effective job. Puts together in seconds and makes a great corner tool holder in my garage.
HANDY STORAGE ITEM
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I use this corner tool rack for storage of brooms, mops, Swiffers and other cleaning tools as well as shovels, rakes and other outdoor gardening tools. It holds allot and my only complaint is that it’s assembly requires nothing to hold it together….the pieces only slide into each other…..and it’s difficult to move if you decide you’d rather have it in another space. Everything must be taken out if you want to move it.
Practical Product

Happy with my choice. The unit is very practical for storing and keeping garden tools off the floor of my shed.
Fabulous Organizer!

Good Product

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.
Tackling Clutter

I LOVE this little tool rack! I don’t have a lot of stuff, so it’s perfect and fits snugly in a corner of my back porch near the door; keeps everything within reach. The price was right too! Thanks Rubbermaid!
very impressed!

I bought this for my husband and we liked it so much that we turned around and bought it for a male grab bag gift! The directions were simple and clear to put it together. and it really fits a lot! I was pleasantly surprised! I definately would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to clear out the shed/garage or just looking for a great male gift idea!
EASY!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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 well
Just what I needed
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got this item to organize a garden tool mess. I had it opened and put together in 5 minutes, put it out in the storage building and put 20 or so tools in it from shovels to axes. Wow did it make a better way of doing things than hanging stuff on the wall. A real space saver and you can access your tools easily since the plastic unit keeps them up and separated from each other(unlike a barrel).
Great storage

Great Garage Organizer
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Trouble finding storage for those long-handled yard tools? This is the ideal product for limited space. Fits in the corner of your garage and it organizes up to 30 tools. The only question is it’s durability. A Rubbermaid product with a great concept and compact design but I am uncertain how long it will hold up, which is the reason why I rated it 4 stars.
A Great Solution

I bought this product for my Stepfather for his garden shed. He and my mother spend a great deal of time caring for and nurturing their garden. This unit was a great idea and fit perfectly into the spot in their garden shed to hold the implements like shovels, rakes, etc. He was very pleased with it.
Great concept but durability is an issue
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I originally bought this item @ a local store, after going aha! all my tool storage problems solved. It was easy to put together and use, saving me tons of space. After a years’ use the item seems to sag a bit more than usual and the base where the tools sit is breaking through more frequently. I guess what I need for my use is the same design in metal and fastened to the wall stud. Overall its a great design that is limited by the material its made of.

I love this corner unit tower. It holds all my shovels, rakes and such. I bought it with the robbermaid storage shelves on amazon. They work perfectly together. My garage is organized finally thanks to rubbermaid. The price is great from amazon and it comes straight to your door.
