New storage solution secures long-handled tools

The New Racor SecureHold hooks provide safer storage, protecting children, cars and valuables.

Schaumburg, Ill.-based Racor’s newest product line “SecureHold” effectively tackles the challenge of storing long-handled tools safely and conveniently.

“Consumers have told us they wanted a better designed hook -- one that is easy to use, holds their tools securely, and won’t fall hurting their children, cars or valuables,” said Craig Zurko, marketing manager for Racor. “We think safety and security are very important in the garage.”

“SecureHold” is 30% stronger than traditional hooks and has a patented retention feature that is an industry first, according to the company. The long-handled tool passes through the “spring” opening of the steel construction and then sits in a deep v-groove to help prevent the tool from accidently being removed from the tool holder.

Racor is a brand of ITW.
