product innovations Store tools securely


Tough, durable and superbly built, the Bruns Tool Tidy secures tools safely, carefully, and with precisely the right amount of grip! An innovative securing mechanism applies grip evenly, with the level of grip decided by the weight of the individual item. It’s simple to remove an item from its holder: when the tool is picked up, pressure and grip are released and the item can safely be removed. Jeroen van Drunen, Homespares’ managing director says of the Tool Tide, “Not only does it hold items so that they can’t fall or be knocked off, the tool-friendly


plastic-coated holders grip items so that they won’t be damaged in any way - plus the Tool Tidy works equally well for garden tools and household items made of a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, wood or rubber.” Easy to mount on any wall, the Bruns Tool Tidy comprises a premium-quality aluminium rail plus stainless steel plastic-coated grips. Stored items can be up to 50mm width, and each individual holder can support a tool of up to 10 kg in weight, with a total load of up to 80 kg per track.
