Getting sick and tired of re-standing the long handle tools, sledge hammers, axes,
***'t threaded rods, ....and tripping over the gas weed-eater

3" or 3.5" ID PVC drain pipe ....cut into 4" pieces...and screwed vertically to a stud in the corner, or to a 12" X 24" plywood strip along the wall holds everything upright and steady:thumbup:

The weed-eater...might have to first mount 2 short lengths of 2X4 (stacked one on top of the other) to the wall about 48" up from the floor to "build out some clearance for the motor top and string end"..then..
after you screw the pvc pipe vertically to the wall or 2X4..cut a verticle strip about 1" wide out of the side of the pipe..
the shaft of the weed-eater fits perfect and doesn't fall out.. or crack the pipe

If you don't have overhead clearance to drop the stuff down into the pipe, another strip cut from the side of the pipe will still let you put stuff in and it will hold it up

Get them out of the garage completely. I built a rustic "outhouse" that is next to my garden for all my long handle garden tools.

I have exposed studs so I just screwed 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood (6" x how ever long 14"-2') on either side of the stud. Mount slightly out of level so tool does'nt walk off. You could also run a short D.W. screw on each end so there is no chance of tools walking off. I have 3 sets, the 20" setup (16 1/2" working) holds about 5 different tools.
The draw back is having to take down a bunch to get to the last one.lol

My sledges, mauls and axe stay on the ground.
