- Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location that is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Consider the height for easy access to tools.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall mount against the desired location. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the two mounting hole positions with a pencil.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your wall mount.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount feels loose or wobbly. | Screws are loose; wall anchors are not secure; wall material is insufficient. | Tighten mounting screws. If still loose, remove and inspect wall anchors; replace if damaged. If wall material is weak, consider using different anchors or reinforcing the wall. |
| Difficulty hanging tools. | Tools are too large or heavy for the hooks; hooks are obstructed. | Ensure tools are compatible with the hook size and weight capacity. Clear any obstructions. |
| Stainless steel shows stains or dullness. | Water spots; residue from cleaning agents; lack of drying. | Clean with mild detergent and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner. |
