Why the 6” Double Prong Tool Rack?
Not everybody has a 20-foot garage wall to work with. Some people have a 3-foot corner of a shed, the back of an apartment garage, or a narrow strip next to a workbench where the good tools keep ending up in a pile on the floor. The 6" Heavy Duty Wall Mount Tool Rack is the one for that spot.
It's cut from 16-gauge steel — real steel, not the flimsy stamped metal that bends the second you hang a real shovel from it. The double-prong design clamps a tool by the handle instead of dangling it from a hook, which means it holds a wet, heavy shovel at the end of a long day the same way it holds a dry broom. We tested it in-house to over 210 pounds before we called it done. Most tool racks on the market don't publish a weight spec at all, which tells you everything you need to know about what's inside them.
The 6" size holds two long-handled tools — most buyers go with a shovel and a rake, or a push broom and a snow shovel, or a pitchfork and a spade. Mount it to studs with the included hardware, and it stays where you put it through every season.
Also called a compact tool rack, a wall-mount broom rack, a garage tool organizer, or a shovel rack — the 6" does all of it in one piece of American-made steel.

Compare Tool Rack Sizes
Who It's For
The 6" Tool Rack is the right call when space is the constraint:
Apartment and condo garages — limited wall space, but the tools still need a home
Tool sheds — the classic "too small for a full rack but too good to leave in a pile" problem
Single-corner installs — the one spot on the wall that actually has room
Basement workshops — between the workbench and the stairs
Small workshops — woodworking shops, home garages, hobbyist spaces
Rental properties — landlords outfitting garages for tenants
Tiny houses and cabins — outdoor tool storage without dedicated outbuildings
Garden sheds — shovels, rakes, hoes, spades, edgers — the everyday tools
Starter kits — the first Tool Rack most buyers install before adding more

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The 6" Heavy Duty Wall Mount Tool Rack is in-house tested to over 210 pounds — far beyond what two long-handled tools will ever weigh in real use. The 16-gauge steel and double-prong design don't flex under load, so you don't have to worry about bending or drooping even with heavy equipment hung on it.
-
The 6" size holds two long-handled tools. Most buyers use it for a shovel and a rake, a broom and a snow shovel, or a pitchfork and a spade. If you need more capacity, the 12" holds four tools and the 20" holds six or more.
-
The double-prong design fits any long-handled tool — shovels, rakes, brooms, pitchforks, hoes, push brooms, lawn edgers, snow shovels, squeegees, and mops. If the handle fits between the two prongs, the rack holds it.
-
Yes — the 6" ships with the hardware needed to mount it to a standard wall. We recommend mounting into studs for maximum hold. The included hardware is sized for typical residential drywall-and-stud construction.
-
The powder-coated finish is built for garages, sheds, workshops, and covered outdoor storage. For fully exposed outdoor use, the powder coat holds up well but any steel product in constant weather will eventually show wear. Covered or indoor use is ideal.
-
Pick the 6" if you have a tight space or you only need to hold two tools. Pick the 12" for standard garage, workshop, or home use — it holds four tools and is the most popular size. Pick the 20" for serious commercial or facility use where you need to hang six or more tools on one rack. Or get the Complete Set to cover every wall in the garage or shop.
-
Yes. All Advantage Outdoor Products Tool Racks use the same 16-gauge American steel and double-prong construction, in-house tested to 210+ lbs. The "heavy duty" rating isn't about size — it's about the steel and the build. A smaller rack built to the same standard is just as heavy-duty as a larger one.
-
Pegboards and hooks dangle tools by their tip or loop, which means anything that gets bumped falls off. The double-prong design clamps the handle between two prongs, so the tool stays where you put it. Shovels, rakes, and brooms — tools you actually use — need the prong design, not a hook.
-
Yes — contact us directly at sales@advantageoutdoorproducts.com for bulk pricing on orders of 6 or more. We work with facility managers, landscapers, parks departments, schools, and commercial buyers regularly.
