Looking for non screw in mounts to hang things
I was looking at 3M's Command Broom Gripper's, but I'm pretty sure a few things I want to hang don't have big enough handles, and I think a few others might be too big. I have a Keter plastic cabinet and I want to put some mounts on the inside of the doors so I can hang my Wheel Woolies, fender brush and some other light weight detailing tools with handles. I have 8 things I want to hang, and at around $9 a pop the 3M ones would be kind of pricey. Plus I have things that might not fit and the OCD side of me for aesthetics would rather not have 2 or 3 different mounts if at all possible.
I know something exists, but I can't find it on Google. What product am I overlooking here? The brushes all weigh next to nothing, so I don't need anything heavy duty, just something I can mount without screws that will hold and keep my brushes securely in place when I open and close the cabinet.
I won't be at home for a few days, so if anyone's bored and has Wheel Woolies around maybe you could measure the diameter of the handle? Not the small one, one of the other 2, I think the medium and large have the same size handles (not length) if I'm remembering correctly? The 3M mounts holds 0.8"-1.0" diameter handles. I was absolutely horrible with math so I can't visualize that at all lol.
Any ways, happy new years and if anyone has any help here for me THANK YOU!

The medium is about 3/8", and the large is about 9/16", so too small for that mount. It would be nice if the Wheel Woolies had holes in the handles for hanging.

Hummm thanks for checking that something out there similar that'll work with my brushes has to exist. I will find a solution.

You could always drill a hole in the handle and then put a string through it.

That would work, except I don't have a drill. The hack job work around I came up with is to use strips of Gorilla Tape to make the grip part smaller. I'm not very mechanically inclined but it's simple and seem like it should work.
Guess I'll find out tonight

Wow, I just can't imagine life with out a drill in my possession. LOL. Being a mechanic by skill set and trade it is almost like if I didnt have one of my feet.
Bring your stuff up here to NY and Id be glad to help you out! I have plenty of drills, and even have an older Dewalt cordless I would prolly give ya.

LOL you read my mind, well I went to buy the one I wanted and they had nond. So I bought the Velcro picture hanging strips. They work great for my fender & leather brush. But they're too big for my Wheel Woolies. They make a smaller size picture strip so I'll go find those.
