Foxhole Really like the pull downs really neat idea

Hi Foxhole I tried some screwdrivers on them but they didn't hold as well as i would like. I think the magnets are really a great idea for storing my paint brushes. Do you have anymore storage tips?

Came across this idea while browsing Magnetic knife holders ( the sort you see in a professional kitchen) used for storing you brushes I sourced the magnetic strips cheaply off amazon http://www.diynot.com/network/barcabod/albums/
