Since the corner of a door has only so much real estate to hang stuff on, we all need to expand at some point. We do it with these durable, stylish, chrome-looking over-door hooks. No screws or drills needed. Just slip them over the top of any door up to 1-5/8”—bathroom, bedroom, entry, craft room, workshop, garage—and watch how much stuff ends up hanging from them instead of piled in a heap. They hang down 9” and stick out about 7” from the door, with a nice round ball on the end, and require a mere 1/16” clearance at the top for the door to close. That’s not a problem for most doors. Our each is a (3)-pack.

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; the 8” x 10” in light gray steel; or the 10” x 12” in a white finish. No weight rating, but the bigger the stronger. Go ahead, check around for prices on shelf-standard hardware. Then order these.

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.

A quarter of a football field of 1” wide genuine self adhesive Velcro® brand hook and loop sticky stuff. 25 yards, hangs on at 8-lbs strength and is good for general outdoor use from 110 to -30 degrees F. Can also be nailed, stapled or screwed. In (2) reels in a box (1 hook 1 loop) with a dispensing slot and a measuring ruler on the side. We're thinking it's time to make that AstroTurf wiffleball field in your backyard.

These standard pegboard hooks fit, wait for it, standard pegboards, with 1” spacing on the legs, and made of 7/32” steel. Not really hooks, these are the long straight thingies with a slight upward angle to approx the last 3/4”. You pick the 3-1/2” long or the 5-1/2” long ones. Very handy in pantries, basements and garages. And isn't it time you finished that organizing project from last year? 

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.

Pulleys? You need pulleys? Step right up and pick from our selection of single-sheave zinc-plated steel pulleys, mounted on swivel hooks with the axles held in by a cotter pin for easier rigging. We’ve got 2” dia pulleys for ropes up to 3/8” dia with a 480-lb max load, mounted to a 2” x 5/8” ID swivel hook; 2-1/2” dia pulleys for ropes up to 3/8” dia with a 550-lb max load, mounted to a 2-1/2” x 3/4” ID swivel hook; 3” dia pulleys for ropes up to 1/2” dia with a 650-lb max load, mounted to a 2-1/2” x 3/4” ID swivel hook.

A rubber grommet, 7/8" dia x 11/16" thick, with a brass insert that forms a flange over one face and lines about 3/4" of the length of the 1/4" dia bore. Use it as a grommet, a shock mount, or both. 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.

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. Use them as slippery chair feet, as knobs on the ends of levers or tops of canes or even as protective caps for sharp pole ends. The tapered inner veins will provide a tight friction fit. You get an assortment of the colors.

Large plastic hook, pointed on one end, blunt on the other. We have no idea what it was made for. Some suggest a meat hook in a pet food factory, which the shape supports. But the red or white plastic suggests not. Maybe it is for veggies? A loyal reader is convinced that it goes over a door and bananas are hung from it. Sounds good to us. The blunt end is shaped to hang over a square beam, 1-1/4" or so thick. The other pointy end, when the hook is so hung, will be 3" from the beam top, and will point out 3" and up @ about 15°. The whole is made of 3/8" dia plastic rod. You figure out what to do with it.
