LAUCO Omni Tool Multiple Paint Spray Gun Holder, Paint Gun Holder - Holds 7 Guns Without Cups or 4 Guns with Cups, Stable and Scratch-Free Design

A tidy paint area saves time. After too many sessions of juggling spray guns on improvised hooks, I added the LAUCO magnetic spray gun rack to my mixing room. It’s a simple accessory on paper—just a bent-steel holder with magnets—but it changed how I stage, store, and protect my guns between coats.

Build and first impressions

The rack is built from thick, formed steel with a clean, durable finish. The contact points—the “forks” that cradle your guns—are rubber-coated, so you’re not dropping chrome bodies onto bare metal. The coating is substantial enough to resist nicking and doesn’t feel gummy or fragile. Edges are smooth, bends are even, and the entire unit has a reassuring heft that suggests it’ll handle shop life.

Along the back is an array of neodymium magnets that provide the holding force. These aren’t gimmicky fridge magnets; the rack snaps to steel with authority. The beauty of a magnetic holder is flexibility—move it, reposition it, or pull it entirely when you need the wall space. But with a rack this stout, you also need to be mindful of surface, load, and leverage (more on that below).

LAUCO rates the rack to hold up to seven guns without cups or four with cups, and a total load of 20 lb (9 kg). In practice, those numbers line up with the spacing and geometry of the hooks.

Layout and capacity

The spacing is thoughtful. I ran a mix of gravity-feed HVLP guns from different brands and had no trouble docking them quickly without the handles or air caps knocking into each other. The hooks are angled to settle the guns into a predictable position; they don’t teeter or scissor when you nudge the rack. With cups attached, I comfortably hung four guns without crowding. Without cups, seven fit neatly, but I prefer to leave a little breathing room because overspray and shop grime find any tight gap.

A detail I appreciate: the hook profile doesn’t mar the gun body. The rubber coating feels more like a durable dip than a thin sleeve, and it has enough give to keep the finish pristine. If you’re particular about your equipment (and if you’re reading this, you probably are), that matters.

Magnet performance and mounting choices

Let’s talk about the magnets, because that’s where the real-world variables come in. I tested the rack on three surfaces:

• A painted steel mixing-room wall panel
• A heavy, powder-coated toolbox side
• A thin, painted cabinet door

On the mixing-room panel and toolbox, the rack locked on firmly. With four empty guns or two with cups (lacquer thinner cleaned, no wet paint), the rack didn’t creep or wiggle over days of regular use. On the thin cabinet door, however, the extra flex and the slick paint finish let the rack “walk” down slowly when I loaded it up. That’s not a knock on the magnets; it’s physics. Thin sheet metal offers less magnetic grip and bows under torque, and a glossy coating reduces friction.

If you plan to fully load the rack, especially with cups attached, here’s what worked best for me:

• Degrease the mounting area thoroughly. Wax, silicone, and overspray drastically reduce friction.
• Mount to a thicker, structural steel surface where possible. If you’re using a cabinet wall, find a rib or reinforcement.
• For permanent placement, use the screw holes and hard-mount it. The rack has provisions for mechanical fasteners, and once screwed into a studded wall or heavy panel, it’s rock solid and the magnets simply assist with positioning.
• Avoid hanging fully loaded guns during booth bake cycles; high heat and vibration are not ideal for magnets or wet cups.

In short: the magnets are strong enough for intended use on a proper surface with reasonable loads. If your mounting surface is thin, flexible, or dusty, screw it down and stop thinking about it.

Day-to-day use

The biggest benefit is workflow. My guns now live in a predictable, safe spot, and I can grab the one I need without shuffling a tangle of hoses or bumping tips against each other. The rack makes staging between coats easy: I hang the gun, cap protected, wipe the threads, and get back to mixing. Because the hook angle is consistent, you’re not fighting gravity to settle the gun.

I keep the rack in the mixing room rather than inside the booth. Overspray builds up on anything that lives in the booth, and cleaner plus solvent mists eventually find their way onto magnets and coatings. Outside the booth, the rack stays cleaner, and I’m not tempted to hang fully loaded guns between passes.

Protection, finish, and solvent resistance

The rubberized ends are worth calling out. I intentionally tested with a lightly solvent-wet gun body and dripped a bit of thinner on the hooks. The coating didn’t swell or turn tacky. That’s not carte blanche to soak it in acetone, but it suggests the material choice is appropriate for shop solvents. After a few weeks, the hooks still look and feel new, and the steel hasn’t picked up rust or edge wear.

Weight rating and safety

Twenty pounds is a sensible limit for a rack this size, but it’s easier to hit than you might think if you stack heavy metal cups and multiple guns. I weighed a few setups and landed around 3 to 4 lb per gun with cup and leftover material. Four loaded guns can get close to the rating. My approach:

• Store guns empty when possible.
• Keep cups off the rack unless you’re actively moving between coats and need them staged briefly.
• If you regularly hang loaded guns, hard-mount the rack rather than relying on magnets alone.

Those simple habits make the rack feel like a forever solution rather than a convenience that occasionally bites you.

Who it’s for

• Professional body shops that want quick, clean organization in mixing rooms.
• Hobbyists who want to corral a growing stable of guns without drilling lots of holes.
• Mobile techs who benefit from a movable rack on a service cart or toolbox.

If you prefer a dedicated, permanently mounted bar with fixed spacing and no magnets, there are simpler welded racks that do that job. The LAUCO’s advantage is flexibility and protection.

Limitations

• Magnet-only mounting is sensitive to surface thickness and cleanliness; on thin or glossy panels, creep can happen under heavy loads.
• While the rack fits most gravity-feed guns well, extremely large cups or oddball handle geometries can crowd neighboring spots when fully populated.
• The coating is durable, but anything rubberized will eventually show nicks if you’re rough with threaded collars or metal cup shelves.

None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re worth understanding before you hang your most expensive guns and walk away.

Tips for best results

• Clean the mounting surface with a wax and grease remover before you place the rack.
• Test-fit with two guns and check for creep over an hour before fully loading.
• Consider a strip of thin, high-friction tape between the rack and glossy surfaces if you must use a cabinet door.
• Use the screw holes for a permanent install in high-traffic or high-load scenarios.
• Keep the rack outside the spray booth to avoid overspray buildup and heat cycles.

Value

Given the build quality, protective touches, and the convenience of magnetic placement with the option to hard-mount, the LAUCO rack represents solid value. Cheaper racks exist, but they often skimp on steel thickness, coating quality, or hook geometry. More expensive options don’t necessarily add functionality. This one hits a practical middle ground.

Recommendation

I recommend the LAUCO magnetic spray gun rack for anyone who wants organized, protected storage with the flexibility to reposition or hard-mount. It’s sturdy, thoughtfully laid out, and the protective coating treats your guns with the respect they deserve. Use the magnets on a solid steel surface for light-to-moderate loads, or bolt it down if you plan to hang it heavy. Set up that way, it becomes an easy, dependable upgrade that keeps your paint workflow cleaner and your guns safer.
