FOUND ONE! After freeatlast posted about magnetic paper towel holders, I did a little internet search and saw that Harbor Freight had these: Magnetic holderSo, I stopped by the one on my way home from work and picked one up (and used a 20% off coupon). The magnets on this thing are strong. I can put them either horizontally on a bin, or vertically on the side posts. Love it! I am liking the vertical orientation more now, when originally I was thinking of putting it horizontally. ************* Does anyone have any ideas on how to put a paper towel holder on the outside of a Raskog cart? I thought I saw images on one before, but I haven't been able to find any. TIA!

But, I'll go to the store and check out one of those.

I like the idea of the towel holder on the side of the cart. Makes it more stream line. Just get 4 tie straps and you are done in 3 mins.

Looks like the one in the photo might be held on with zip ties.
Amazon has some magnetic paper towel holders.

A stick and a string. Use S hooks to hang off the cart. I would drill holes in the top tray and install 2 small eye bolts. It is simple, secure and not plastic. When not in use, just place the roll on top the cart.

I found something at Harbor Freight! It can work either vertically or horizontally, and the magnet is super strong. Magnetic holder

That is a great update, did you see all the other things that are magnetic? That can/screwdriver holder could hold your drink in one spot and a jar in the other with scissors, paper piercer, rulers etc. That might be kind of fun too!

They had an extension outlet that is magnetic. I was thinking about that for a little bit, but didn't buy it. If anyone goes looking for them, they are with the big red rolling tool chests. And there is a 25% off coupon for this coming weekend.

I recently noticed a Harbor Freight near me. Looks like a good spot for new scrap room resources. Thanks for sharing your find. That paper towel holder is the bomb!

We have a new Harbor Freight just 45 miles from me. We went last month and I got a few things. It is in the same parking lot as the new Hobby Lobby! They had just put up the Hobby Lobby walls the week we went.
I have a magnetic paper towel holder that I've had for YEARS. It is just a plastic white one that I keep on my refrigerator. I've wanted another so I'll be checking next time we go to that town AFTER Hobby Lobby is open!

I assume you are actually using this for paper towels. Does it have a rod in it such that you could use it for washi or ribbon?

There is just a knob on each side that you put inside the paper towel roll. If you can find a hollow rod that fits over the knobs I don’t see why it couldn’t be used to hold other things.

I went to check it out and ended up with a trigger nozzle for the hose and an electric fly swatter/zapper - you know, essential items. I might go back for the paper towel holder ($7) even though it’s fire engine red. The organizer ($19) looks nice and big. Might have to find a place for that, too. Their prices are really good, but I had a hard time getting past the tire store smell (I swear, they must pipe it in) and overall guy vibe. I like to check out curtains and lamps in between my tool shopping! Still, I would go back for the prices.

I don't think pastel pink would work but I think rose pink or violet should cover that nicely! : ) I thought about the carousel but DH was with me. I would have had to tell him right then WHERE I would put it and what I'd put it in. Wanted to decide FIRST what I'd do with it!
