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!

OK, enablers, that does it. I'm going to Harbor Freight at lunchtime. It's not even 5 minutes away.

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! |
