Paper towel holders

[d65]

Hi guys,

Show me what you use in your shop to hold your paper towels. I use plain white paper towels.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

Nothing fancy! Straight from Princess Auto. Towel and chemical holder.

 

[damon18]

I use two of these in the garage.

The cheap plastic ones you can buy for a few bucks practically anywhere. They do the job and I've never had one fall apart.

I use the magnetic setup from harbor freight. Works great.

 

[FANTM58]

Yep , another HF magnetic fan
I’ve stuck it to my 2 post lift .

An old paint roller. Paper towel roll fits on it, perfectly.

 

[MileHighRover]

Got it at the local Restore for $15.

 

[didit]

Free, from my junk pipe fittings. Hangs over my bench. Not pretty but works OK.

Old paper towel holder for me.

 

[BearsFan315]

just picked up one of these for the work bathroom. works great with all the guys snatching on it and working it to death. easy to load and unload. mounted it on the wall. just push new roll up until it locks in and push up until it snaps out to remove it.

no issues so fr, and for a few bucks, works great. either Wal-Mart or Lowes.

I think a worn-out camshaft would make a good addition to a shop. Your choice of brackets: wood or metal.

 

[Randy in Maine]

I use a dead camshaft from a Type 4 VW Bus engine. Fits perfectly.

 

[Ilikeike]

3/4" copper.

 

[torqueman2002]

Timely topic. I just made a couple for the basement shop.

 

[Plump]

I love the Rags in a Box and just built a holder out of scrap laying around.

 

[d65]

I went with the HF. Cheap and seems to work well

 

[iSpark]

Towel holder you say?

...then at the end of the day, champagne.

 

[SGKent]

piece of wooden dowel, one hole in each end and some parachute cord hanging under a shelf. White paper towels from Sams or Costco, and a second one with blue denim towels. Clothes pins on them when the fan is blowing to keep them from unraveling. The cord hangs from a larger dowel like in a closet that has coat hangers on it and a couple other things hanging there.

Should have known.

After trying many different styles ... I finally have these mounted in my several shops .. Search Prodyne on Amazon.

 

[aka Larry]

I have this one from BB&B, which is mounted to my HF 5-drawer tool kart. I like it because it doesn't actually "roll". It has ratcheting-type action, so if you yank it, the roll doesn't keep, well, rolling.

 

[niget2002]

I have one of the gladiator cleanup caddies. I only have it because I got it at a white elephant gift exchange. The guy had gotten two for Christmas, so instead of returning one, he gave it away.

Torqeman could have taken a picture of my setup. Exactly the same.

That is our toilet paper holder but on a bigger scale. Great minds and all that haha.

Haha.
I was too lazy to snap my own picture. That's from Google.
I had all the parts 'on the self'.

 

[sberry]

If I was going to buy something its that rubber maid thingy but usually have wanted it NOW.

 

[QwikKotaTx]

I'd love to have a bumpstick as a towel holder. The only ones I have are still in good shape but are the stock ones I pulled out of my Dakota.

+1 here, they work as advertised

 

[couch67]

Made a double roll holder that fits between the upper cabs. 24" dowel, right side fits into a hole drilled into the side of the cab. The left end fits into the support as shown in the pic. A magnet epoxied into the left end of the dowel keeps it in place.

 

[fsae0607]

Harbor Freight magnetic here.

 

[Evilunclegrimace]

this is what I fabbed .

 

[TheOtherChris]

I used the HF magnetic for quite a while but now use a Sofpull dispensor that uses those giant rolls that you pull down from the center. Got it off Amazon for $15 with 2 rolls of towels.
Really like it because it is easy to use with one hand.

Wife liked it so much she bought another and had me mount it on the back porch / mud room.

I was just going to post mine - I did the same thing. Purchasing a 10 pack of all of the parts was cheaper than buying and shipping one of each.... so now I have WAY too many of them. Oh well.

 

[iowa4x4dieselman]

+1 on the HF magnetic on the side of my top hutch

 

[ALinCarolina]

I made mine with galvanized pipe also. Use some loctite at the elbow and flange so it doesn't sag over time. After this photo was taken I added another longer one to the right to hold a regular towel too. It cuts down on paper towel use when I am just washing hands. The white board is a PVC board.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

^^^^ Are the controls with the red and blue markings to control the faucet on the left?

 

[sberry]

I like that, looks easy.

 

[ALinCarolina]

Yes. Good eyes. I bought this sink at an auction of equipment of a grocery closing down. But I also bought a small hand sink that had knee controlled valves. I removed the valves and faucet, drilled a hole for the faucet and mounted the valves underneath. I glued the plate holding them to the underside with thickened epoxy so as not to make holes in the sink. It worked out great, makes it handy if my hands are really greasy so as not to mess the regular handles.

 

[sberry]

Yes, I change the laundry tubs a little to use a single handle kitchen faucet. There is the typical gage in the well pit but the one at the sink is a thing of beauty.
