Quick verdict
A broom and mop holder with a powerful magnet base and a stainless hook that sticks to any steel surface, a metal shed door, a steel garage door, a fridge side or a metal cabinet, and holds up to 9 pounds per hook without drilling. Steel sheds and metal doors are hard to screw into and this uses the metal instead. It moves when the layout changes. It needs a flat, clean, ferrous surface; aluminium doors and painted textures weaken the grip.
Strengths
- Mounts on steel doors and sheds without drilling
- Nine pounds per hook holds brooms, mops, rakes and light tools
- Removable and repositionable
- Stainless hook does not rust
- No holes in a rented garage
Weaknesses
- Only on ferrous steel; aluminium and stainless doors do not hold
- Textured or dirty paint weakens the magnet
- Nine pounds is brooms, not shovels

Hooks Where You Cannot Drill
A steel shed, a metal garage door and a rented garage have one thing in common: nobody wants to drill them. A magnetic hook uses the metal instead. MagitcSee’s broom holder is a strong magnet base with a stainless hook, rated to 9 pounds, that sticks to any flat ferrous steel surface and comes off without a mark.
This review is based on the listing specifications and on how magnetic tool hooks perform on steel surfaces generally. We have not used this holder ourselves and the brand is a generic importer.
Where It Works
Steel garage doors, the walls and door of a metal shed, the side of a fridge or freezer in the garage, a steel cabinet or a workbench leg. The test is a fridge magnet: if that holds, the broom hook holds. Aluminium doors, fibreglass and stainless steel are not magnetic and nothing sticks.
Holding Power
Nine pounds per hook is a broom, a mop, a dustpan and brush or a leaf rake. Magnets hold best on clean, flat, smooth paint; dust, grease and textured finishes reduce the grip and a load can creep downward over weeks. Wipe the surface before placing it and check it after the first day.
Moving It
Slide it off sideways and set it where the brooms live now. No holes, no filler, no landlord. Owners of metal sheds describe lining the inside of the door with several for brooms, rakes and the dustpan.
Limits
It is for light long-handled things. Shovels, hoses and a full mop bucket belong on screwed hooks in a stud. On a door that opens, hang only what will not swing into the car.
Who Should Buy It
- Metal shed owners with brooms on the floor.
- Renters who cannot drill.
- Anyone with a steel garage door and nowhere else to hang the broom.
Common Owner Complaints
No grip on aluminium doors and creeping on dusty paint. Test with a magnet; wipe the surface.
Technique Tips
Place the holder, press it firmly and then try to slide it down with the heel of the hand; if it moves, the surface is dusty or textured and needs a wipe or a different spot. Hang the broom with the head up so the bristles do not splay, and mount two holders a foot apart for a mop and a broom side by side. Check the position after the first warm day, since a magnet on a sun-heated door grips a little less.
Where Else It Works
The side of a steel filing cabinet for a dustpan, a metal workbench leg for a hand brush, the inside of a steel tool cabinet door for a brush and a cloth. Anywhere a fridge magnet sticks, so does this.
Alternatives to Consider
Screw-in broom clips for wooden walls. Over-the-door hooks for a wooden shed door. Adhesive hooks for light items on smooth surfaces.
Verdict
On a steel surface, a magnetic hook puts the broom on the wall in a second without a drill, and this one holds a sensible load. Test the surface with a magnet, wipe it clean and keep the shovels for a stud.

MagitcSee Upgraded Heavy Duty Magnetic Broom and Mop Holder, No-Drill, 9 lb per Hook FAQs
Test with a fridge magnet. If that holds, this holds. Steel garage doors and metal sheds take it; aluminium, fibreglass and stainless do not.
Nine pounds per hook on a clean flat steel surface: a broom, a mop, a dustpan and brush, a light rake. A spade or a wet mop head exceeds it.
On smooth clean paint, no. On dusty or textured surfaces the magnet grips less and a load can creep; wipe the surface first.
Yes. Slide it off and set it elsewhere. It leaves no mark.
