Paper towel holder, mirror, tools, etc. ...I realize this is way early but, having just gone through the product search myself, let me pass some information along.On most towel holders, if you give a pull the roll will rotate and spill paper towels out in a stream onto the floor. Similarly, if you give a sharp tug to tear off one towel, the thing will vomit towels everywhere. Through dedicated research aided by a really good hint, I came across this...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024AKCTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The roller has a built-in light-duty ratchet. As soon as your pull force stops, it stops the roller from further rotation. At that point, a sharp tug will remove what you've unrolled without starting another towel vomit. It's all stainless steel construction so it will outlast any cheap plastic towel rack.I bought one and installed it in my shop and I'm pleased which, you can imagine, is no easy thing to do. The only problem is that now my wife wants one.

The only problem is that now my wife wants one. We have one of those, but with a weighted base so that it just sits upright on the counter. It works great! The only down side is when I get up early for work, and I make coffee and such, and I need a towel, the ratchet wakes my wife up.....having said that, it says more about how much of a light sleeper she is , than how loud the ratchet is....Dave
So, are we having a "forum member only" open house?Eric
Don't think I could stay that long: my boys would miss me and Zee doesn't have any castings Jo
What about a voice-actuated paper towel dispenser?
