"These are what I had been hoping for. We were reorganizing the garage, and it was long past time to get tools out of the bins and drawers. I asked at the local hardware store and they suggested a slat wall. Note that the slats are PVC. They are easy to scratch (and gouge with a drill, etc.) during installation. The instructions recommend two people to put them up. This is good advice, but really, one person can manage on their own. The hooks are plenty strong, and the wall is stable (as long as they are anchored into studs). We put up hand tools on one wall and hung electric yard tools on another. We used two to hang the ladder, not because we had to, but we really thought that would be safer over the long term. One downside: We thought we might put some wire mesh baskets or shelves up on them. People sell them, but it wouldn't take many to cost more than we paid for this set." - Review posted on Costco.com
