Heavy Duty Universal Tool Mount (1.5" Max Handle)

I designed this heavy-duty wall mount to hang my DeWalt pole saw, but it's a universal hanger that works great for any long-handled tool like shovels, rakes, or brooms. It will fit any pole or handle with a diameter of 1.5 inches or less. 

It mounts using two #8 flat head screws.

I found that many designs had sharp angles where stress could build and lead to an eventual failure. I wanted to focus on really reinforcing strength - the arms are gusseted and have radii where stress is most likely to build.

It’s a very sturdy and practical design:

• 2x4 Fit: The base is designed to match the width of a standard 2x4, making it simple to line up and mount securely.
• Stud-Mount Compatible: Vertical mounting holes allow for mounting straight to a stud if needed.
• Secure Catch: There's a small retaining catch angled at the end of the hook to prevent tools from getting knocked off or slipping out.
• Reinforced Holes: The design is reinforced with 100% infill around the mounting holes for maximum strength when bolting to the wall.

I'd recommend printing in at least PETG for use in a garage. For even greater strength, you can print oriented on the side with supports so that the layer lines are aligned with the holding force. For most use cases, this isn't necessary though.

## Changelog

11/4/25 - Updated main profile to use two screws mounted vertically for use on studs. I've retained the original design as a secondary profile if you prefer the horizontal mounting.
