The product consists of a mounting strip with extra space for a sander, two individually adjustable battery holders and three hooks for additional hanging options. The high-quality design and simple installation of the wall bracket are outstanding. The sustainability of the packaging should also be emphasised. GRAFT deliberately avoids plastic packaging for the sake of our environment and uses environmentally friendly alternatives. Customer satisfaction and customer support also play an important role for GRAFT. This battery wall holder from GRAFT is the perfect addition to the magnetic strip set for storing every DIY enthusiast’s tools.

The first impression
The packaging and labelling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product not sufficiently protected | 70 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Unnecessary packaging waste was avoided, items were packed compactly Plastic-free packaging | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | High-quality packaging, also suitable as a gift | 100 points |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
In our case, the battery wall mount from GRAFT arrived with other products in a matching shipping box . The shipping carton was undamaged and easy to open without any additional tools. In addition to the other products, the shipping box contained the magnetic strip set in a visually appealing paper product box. The product packaging was protected from slipping by paper filling material. Unfortunately, the mounting material scratched the battery wall mount in a small area, as the packaging of the screws was torn. In this case, the product was not fully protected and the battery wall mount therefore already shows signs of use.
The packaging of the battery wall mount is fully recyclable. The filling material and the shipping carton are fully recyclable.
Nevertheless, the battery wall mount from GRAFT makes a good impression overall. The wall mount was not damaged and the parcel was in very good condition.

The product box contains the magnetic battery holder with a holder for angle grinders, battery holders and hooks. The mounting material is also included, consisting of four dowels and the corresponding four Torx screws. The screws are black in colour to match the strips. Four black spacers and a Torx spanner are also included. The wall brackets themselves are wrapped in paper again.
The address information is printed in full on the product box. A telephone number for the company, which would have been desirable, is not provided. The customer is kindly referred to the support with reference to the e-mail address.
The assembly instructions are also printed on the box. The instructions are very clearly explained with pictures and should leave no questions unanswered. A short personal introduction from Stefan (founder of GRAFT) is printed on the box, wishing the customer lots of fun with the battery wall mount. All information is printed on the box in both German and English. All in all, this is an exceptionally well thought-out and customer-friendly way to send a product.

With its simple, black design, this 43 cm long battery holder fits into any workshop. The powder-coated wall mount matches the GRAFT magnetic strips perfectly.
The wall bracket has an extra holder for an angle grinder, cut-off grinder etc. and also has holders for two batteries. Three hooks for hanging tools or protective equipment provide additional hanging options. The wall bracket is made of 2 mm thick powder-coated steel sheet. The associated spacers have a total width of 3 cm, so that the wall bracket has a space of approx. 3 cm to the wall.
There are four holes for mounting, through which the wall bracket is attached using the screws supplied. Suitable wall spacers and screws with plugs are provided for fixing to the wall. Alternatively, you can also use your own screws to attach the mouldings to other surfaces. Due to the high quality, a long service life can be expected.

The battery holders can be adjusted quickly and easily using the Torx spanner supplied. Both battery holders are adjusted in parallel by moving the mounting plate. This allows the battery holders to be perfectly adjusted to the respective battery type. The battery wall holder is therefore suitable for a wide range of different battery sizes. Among other things, it is suitable for batteries from many brands such as Bosch batteries, Makita batteries, Dewalt batteries, Parkside batteries and Einhell batteries. Our batteries are held securely in the GRAFT battery wall mount.
The angle grinder also holds securely in its intended position.
Mounted on the wall, the GRAFT battery wall holder keeps the workplace tidy and the tools clearly organised.

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.5 stars. One criticism is that the battery holders are not individually adjustable.
