MOUNTS, HANGERS & KNOBS

Hang it all with this set of (10) magnetic hooks. The 1-3/16" long x 9/64" hooks screw into 1-3/8" dia magnetic bases with an approx 8-lb pull, which is heavier than most jackets and keys. Good for horizontal or vertical mounts, and dandy for adding hooks to gym or school lockers.

Now you can have a good, strong hook without drilling any holes. This plated magnetic hook sticks to any ferrous metal surface via a 2" dia alnico magnet with a 10-12 pound pull. Handy gadget to hold a tool, towel, broom or key ring (and if the ring is too heavy, consider throwing away the keys to your 1983 Chevy, and maybe a few more). The 3/4" long J-hooks have threaded ends and are removable. Our each is a package of (2).

Like your cousin the state senator, this N42 neodymium magnet has a lot of pull—an estimated 90 lbs on flat steel surfaces. Ideal for holding, hanging and retrieving objects. Measures approx 1-1/4” dia x 1/4” thick with an M6 eyebolt that has an approx 3/4” inner and 1” outer dimension and serves as a pulling (or hanging from) handle. Nickel-coated steel cup protects the magnet from damage, and concentrates the force on the magnet's surface.

Skivvy-sewing lessons? Nah, just go commando. But if you want to make your own drawers, as in places to keep stuff, try this small drawer slide. Measure 7” long, and extend to approx 12”. Drilled with a plethora of holes to screw it to the sides of the drawers you made. Or the ones you already have and want to slide. Note, this is a single slide, so unless you're replacing a broken one, you'll need to order two.

Our 3/4” wide x 2mm thick foam mounting tape is sticky on both sides, and we’ll send you a roll of close to 200 inches of it (that’s about 5-1/2 yards). Use it to mount pictures, or decorations for parties and holidays. Just make sure your drywall, plaster, wooden or tile wall is clean, dry and smooth. Use 4” of tape for each 1/2 lb of weight to be mounted—and hang only 2 lbs max.

These standard pegboard hooks fit, wait for it, standard pegboards, with 1” spacing on the legs, and made of 7/32” steel.

This Velcro® strap is strong enough to hang your bicycle, golf clubs or anything up to 200 lbs from. In other words, it puts the Velcro® flap that closes your messenger bag, or stands in for laces on your walking shoes, to shame. It’s 1" wide x 7" long and loop-able because of the Velcro®. It’s attached to a 3” heavy duty carabiner, which hangs from something else while you attach the Velcro® strap to your bike, clubs, hoses, ladders, wheelbarrow or what have you.

Pictures crooked? This Professional Picture Hanging Home Toolbox Kit has been “used by museums and art galleries since 1964,” according to the box. Before that, museums and galleries must have used a different kit. Either way, this is one’s nice, and it’ll hang up to (38) works of art, including the dogs playing poker. Comes with a compact, sturdy hammer/screwdriver-nesting multitool, plus a bunch of hangers and nails, including “blue steel!” For hanging objects of up to 100 lbs, so no juries—artwork and picture frames only.

We’re into hygiene around here (it’s the Science in us), and if we didn’t already have foot grabs on our restroom doors, we’d be installing these in a hot second. They look like little soap dishes, with up-pointing serrated edges. Made of 14-gauge silver/grey powder-coated steel and include (5) #10, 1-1/2” long stainless-steel screws. Attach the 5” x 2” back to the bottom of a door, set your foot on 3-1/8” wide x 3-1/4” long toothed platform and gently pull. Way easier than it seems. Made in USA.

Forget basketball and put up those shelves like you've been promising since Dartmouth beat Duke. These are standard, industrial L-brackets for garage, basement and storeroom items—not the sort to hold your bookshelves, unless you're into that look. The longer arm usually goes on the wall for stability, but for really lightweight shelving you could flip them. You pick the 6" x 8" bracket in light gray steel or the 8” x 10” in light gray steel. No weight rating, but the bigger the stronger. Go ahead, check around for prices on shelf-standard hardware. Then order these.

With  a brass wire hanger that is set under the insert flange and extends 1" to the side. The hanger is bent to hold a 1/4" dia wire.

Brass L-shaped shoulder hooks (Why aren’t they elbow hooks?) are handy to have around. Each has a thread about half as long as the hook itself, and a small plate that fits against the wall. You get (2) packages, for a total of (6) 1” hooks, or (4) 1–1/2” hooks.

1-7/8" dia. brown and orange hard plastic balls with a 1-1/4" ID x 1-1/2" deep hole on one side.

You will get all of one color.
