Finally, a way to keep long tools organized

The Washington Post

Isn't it about time someone came up with a better way to corral tall, skinny things like rakes and shovels, brooms and tiki torches, fishing poles and flagpoles that topple over no matter where you put them?

Jack and Paul DeLorean of Bloomfield, Mich. — brother and nephew of the famed car designer John DeLorean — collaborated to design and patent the Tool Corner, a why-didn't-someone-think-of-it-before galvanized steel rail that attaches to adjoining walls to keep long tools and sports gear upright and out of the way.

Tool Corner comes with a smaller tool holder that can be mounted high on a wall to keep sharp tools such as pruners, hedge clippers and trowels out of small children's reach. It is available online for $19.98 plus $6 shipping at www.toolcorner.com.
