If you’re trying to clean up your garage, garden shed, or utility room, there’s a good chance you’ve got a few shovels lying around. Snow shovels, garden spades, trenching tools, even folding avalanche shovels—they all take up floor space and don’t store well on traditional wall hooks. That leads to a common question:Can Gravity Grabber hold a shovel?

The short answer is yes. In fact, Gravity Grabber may be one of the best shovel storage solutions available thanks to its non-damaging grip system, wall-mount design, and all-season versatility.

Let’s break down how it works and why it’s a better alternative to standard garage or shed hooks.

How Gravity Grabber Holds a Shovel

Gravity Grabber uses a padded cam-locking mechanism to gently clamp onto cylindrical or semi-flat items. When you press a shovel handle into the open arms, the internal system closes around it with just the right amount of pressure to hold it firmly without slipping or scratching.

It works on:

• Wooden handles
  
  

• Metal poles
  
  

• Plastic or composite shafts
  
  

• Textured or rubberized grips
  
  

Because the unit mounts to the wall and operates vertically or horizontally, you can store the shovel flat against the surface or angled depending on your space.

The grip adjusts automatically based on the handle’s diameter, making it easy to swap in different shovel types without any reconfiguration or brackets.

What Types of Shovels Can It Hold?

Gravity Grabber is compatible with nearly all common household and outdoor shovels, including:

• Snow shovels (plastic or aluminum)
  
  

• Garden spades
  
  

• Trenching or digging shovels
  
  

• Round-point or square-point shovels
  
  

• Folding avalanche shovels
  
  

• Post-hole diggers (with slim handles)
  
  

• Multi-use or military-style shovels
  
  

It even works if your shovel has a D-ring handle, as long as the shaft or neck can be gripped securely by the padded arms.

Why Use Gravity Grabber Instead of Hooks?

Most shovel holders on the market rely on metal or plastic hooks. While these work for some tools, they present a few problems:

• They can damage wood or scratch metal handles
  
  

• They often don’t support odd shapes like D-handles
  
  

• They don’t adjust to different thicknesses
  
  

• They’re easy to knock gear out of
  
  

Gravity Grabber solves these issues by:

• Using soft, padded arms that won’t damage your gear
  
  

• Gripping securely without relying on friction or gravity alone
  
  

• Holding items vertically or horizontally based on your layout
  
  

• Working across seasons—use it for a shovel in winter, then a rake or broom in summer
  
  

Smarter Shovel Storage Starts Here

So—can Gravity Grabber hold a shovel? Absolutely. It’s designed to hold a wide variety of tools and gear with different shapes, weights, and materials. If you’re tired of leaning shovels against a wall, tripping over them in the shed, or using a hook that only sort of works, Gravity Grabber is a cleaner, more reliable option.

And the best part? When you’re done using it for shovels, it’s just as ready to hold a fishing pole, paddle, ski, or skateboard. That’s year-round storage that adapts with your lifestyle.
