Favbal Mop Broom Holder: A Straightforward Review
The Favbal mop and broom holder is a wall-mounted storage rack that holds up to 5 long-handled tools with spring-loaded clips and gives you 3 to 6 hooks for smaller accessories below. It's a solid budget option that installs with screws or adhesive strips and keeps mops, brooms, rakes, and dustpans off the floor without taking up much wall space.
I've looked at a lot of broom holders in the $15 to $40 range, and the Favbal comes up regularly in garage organization circles because it packs real capacity into a compact rail. Below, I'll cover exactly how it's built, how it compares to similar products, where it makes the most sense, and what to expect from installation.
What the Favbal Mop Broom Holder Actually Includes
The Favbal comes as a wall strip, typically 23 to 40 inches wide depending on the version, with adjustable spring-loaded clips spaced along the top and fixed hooks along the bottom. The clips grip handles from 0.4 to 1.3 inches in diameter, which covers almost every broom, mop, rake, or hoe handle you're likely to own.
The Spring Clips
Each clip uses a spring mechanism to grip the handle. You push the tool handle up into the clip and it locks in place. To remove it, you tilt the handle slightly and pull. Takes about half a second once you're used to it. The clips swivel in some versions, which lets you store tools at slight angles when you're space-constrained.
The clips hold most handles firmly. A standard corn broom or Swiffer WetJet handle snaps in with no wobbling. Heavier metal rake handles also hold well. Where you'll hit limitations is with extra-large diameter handles, say a thick snow pusher handle or a wide foam mop grip. Those may not fit the 1.3-inch maximum.
The Bottom Hooks
The hooks below the clip rail handle shorter items: dustpans, spray bottles, small handheld brushes, or a squeegee. Most versions include 3 to 6 hooks at fixed positions. They're S-shaped and hold moderate loads, fine for a dustpan or a small bottle of cleaning spray but not rated for heavy items.
Installation: Screws vs. Adhesive
Favbal sells the holder with two installation options on most listings: screw mounting or adhesive strip mounting. The screws are the right choice for garage use.
Screw Installation
You get two or three mounting points depending on the rail length. Pre-drill into wall studs for the strongest hold. In a standard garage, studs run every 16 inches, and you can usually find two studs within the 24-inch width of the smaller Favbal models. Screw mounting handles far more weight than adhesive and won't fail in hot or humid garage conditions.
The included screws are fine for drywall into studs. If you're mounting on concrete block or a masonry garage wall, you'll need to grab concrete anchors separately.
Adhesive Installation
The adhesive strips work in a climate-controlled utility room or kitchen pantry. In a garage, heat and humidity in summer will weaken the adhesive bond over months. I wouldn't trust adhesive alone for a garage with 4 or 5 heavy-handled tools. If you've mounted anything with adhesive in a garage before and had it fall, that's the same risk here.
How Favbal Compares to Similar Broom Holders
At around $15 to $20, the Favbal sits in the middle of the budget broom holder market alongside products from Rubbermaid, Sunix, and Wallmaster.
Favbal vs. Rubbermaid FastTrack
Rubbermaid's FastTrack system costs more (the hook pack alone runs $25 to $40) but integrates with a full wall organization system. If you already have FastTrack rail on your garage wall, buying compatible hooks makes more sense. If you're starting fresh and just want broom storage, the Favbal's standalone rail is cheaper and installs faster.
Favbal vs. Generic Amazon Holders
There are dozens of near-identical broom holders on Amazon for $10 to $13 with similar specs. The Favbal version tends to have better-rated clips that don't loosen as quickly with repeated use. The finish is also slightly better, which matters if you care about rust resistance in a humid garage.
Favbal vs. Pegboard Hooks
A full pegboard system gives you more flexibility to rearrange everything, but it costs 5 to 10 times more to set up properly. For dedicated broom and mop storage, the Favbal's dedicated rail is faster to install and more convenient because you don't have to reconfigure anything.

Where Favbal Works Best
The Favbal is right at home in these situations:
Garage utility wall. Mount it near your cleaning supply shelf so mops, brooms, and the dustpan all live together. This is the most common use case and it works really well.
Mudroom or laundry room. The screw-mount version handles indoor use perfectly. The smaller 23-inch model fits neatly on the wall beside a washer/dryer.
Garden shed. Long-handled garden tools like rakes, hoes, and cultivators fit the clips. Mount it on the shed's interior wall to free up floor space.
Closet rod alternative. Some people mount one inside a deep closet to hang brooms vertically.
Where it's less ideal: outdoors in exposed locations (the clips will rust), on textured surfaces where the adhesive version won't bond, or in very high-traffic areas where you're pulling tools in and out many times a day. The clips are durable but not commercial-grade.
Load Capacity and Durability
Favbal doesn't publish a specific total weight rating for the rail, which is a minor knock. Individual clips handle approximately 2 to 4 pounds each based on user experience. A standard corn broom weighs about 1.5 pounds, a wet mop head runs 2 to 3 pounds, and most rakes fall in the same range. Five tools at once is well within what the clips manage without issue.
The metal construction on most versions uses steel with a powder coat finish. It won't rust immediately, but in a garage with humidity swings, some surface corrosion can appear at the mounting holes after a few years. Nothing structural, just cosmetic.
The spring clips do show some wear after heavy use. If you're grabbing a broom twice a day every day, the spring tension loosens slightly after 12 to 18 months in my experience with similar clips.
FAQ
How many tools does the Favbal broom holder hold? Most versions hold 5 tools in the spring clips and 3 to 6 smaller items on the hooks below. The 40-inch version holds one more tool than the 23-inch version in some configurations.
Does the Favbal work with mop handles that have a wide grip end? As long as the handle shaft (not the grip) is under 1.3 inches in diameter, it fits. The grip doesn't need to fit through the clip. You insert the handle from below and let the clip grab the shaft.
Can I mount this on drywall without hitting a stud? You can use drywall anchors, but I'd limit the load to 2 or 3 lightweight tools if you're not hitting studs. For a full load of 5 tools, stud mounting is better.
Is the Favbal worth it over a cheaper version? The $5 difference between Favbal and the cheapest generic equivalent usually shows up in clip quality. If you're installing in a low-traffic spot, the generic works fine. For daily use in a working garage, Favbal's clips tend to last longer without loosening.
Bottom Line
The Favbal mop and broom holder does exactly what you need at a reasonable price. Mount it with screws into studs, load up 4 to 5 long-handled tools, and you've permanently solved the "brooms falling over in the corner" problem. It's not a premium product, but at $15 to $20, it doesn't need to be.
If you want to pair it with a full wall organization system that handles everything from tools to bins to bikes, the Best Garage Top Storage guide has options for overhead storage that complements a wall-mounted broom rail nicely.
