The Perfect Tear paper towel holder eliminates waste by allowing exactly the desired number of paper towel sheets to be torn off the roll with just one hand. The secret lies in the secure, horizontally wall-mounted base and the ratchet system inside the towel holder. By allowing the roll to make incremental turns in just one direction, the ratchet holds the roll steady during pulling and tearing, thus preventing unraveling.
Three parts come with this towel holder: a weighted chrome arm that protrudes five inches from the wall (two screw holes are on a two-inch center; two 1-1/8-inch screws and two plastic sleeves are included); an 11-inch metal dowel that screws into the arm and features a bullet-shape tip; and a flexible wire cage through which the central dowel passes that conforms to the inside cardboard tube of a paper towel roll. The dowel and cage attach to the arm without tools, but a Phillips-head screwdriver (and possibly a drill) is needed for the wall-mounting. Both standard and oversized rolls slide onto the holder. --Ann Bieri

You'd think it would be hard to get excited by something as inane as a paper towel holder. I originally saw this product in several mail-order catalogues, priced at 30 - 40 dollars. For the 10 bucks it's priced at here, it is WELL worth it! I work behind a bar and have two of this item back there - being a bartender I'm almost constantly wet from being elbow deep in the sinks. I hate handling things or making drinks with wet hands, so on a busy night I probably go through 7 or 8 full rolls of towels. I use so many, a customer recently asked if I was Obsessive Compulsive - not quite, but I like clean and dry surfaces everywhere around the bar. These holders have held up well, I thought the ratcheting mechanism might be cheaply made and eventually give out - no sign of that yet. The ratchet is well made and well balanced - not so much resistance as to force you to dispense a single sheet at a time, but enough that you can tear whatever you've pulled off at the perforation every time. It's also solidly built and handles abuse really well - when busy, I won't fuss with a delicate mechanism - everything gets slammed around and knocked around with considerable force. Towel rolls remount quickly and easily. I'm pretty rough on equipment and have broken most things behind that bar at least once. This product definitely holds up under the toughest commercial abuse. If you're a big fan of the oversized rolls, they may rub against whatever surface you mount this too, but it still works.

Initial Review Posted 2-26-10: With my family having the wasteful habit of tearing off 2 to 4 sheets to wipe up a few droplets on the counter, this holder is one of the best investments I have made in awhile. My family was going through $30 per month in rolls and now the usage is down to less than $15 per month. Made my money back in less than 2 weeks!4-3-10 Update after using the product: I purchased 2 of these and now find that although initially these holders worked excellent and as advertised, I now have no recourse but to downgrade my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars. The problem with this product is not the design - in fact the ratcheting/tension mechanism is pure genius. The problem lies in the materials they used to manufacture the product. After disassembling the broken holders I found that the internal ratchet that produces the tension on the spool is made of the cheapest thin brittle plastic I've seen. The plastic spline on the ratchet on both units broke with normal use within a month. After they break, all you have is a normal roller without tension. Had they thought of upgrading the material to metal for the ratchet/spline and charged a little more for this product, I'm quite sure people would be happy to pay a bit more for this product, as it was very useful before it broke.

Hold the cardboard tube, not the towels, as you press a roll onto the spindle or the towels will "telescope." No yanking off 20 towels by accident and true one-handed operation. Solid construction and unobtrusive footprint. Great product!
