Paper Towel Holder

If anyone is looking for a great paper towel holder that allows you to tear off sheets with one hand, try the Umbra Tug. About $18 from Amazon. I bought two for the Super Saver Shipping and gave one to a neighbor. Just slip on the paper towel (no unscrewing end caps), and you're ready to 'roll'.

Thanks for the tip. I was looking at the Kamenstein stainless steel towel holder, but heard the ratcheting mechanism fails after a few months. The Umbra is sold out at Amazon right now, so I'll have to wait a few weeks.

Just what I was looking for! Amazon only shows four color choices... Is that 'smoke' pictured? I'm looking for the one with brushed nickel finish.

Yes, choose 'smoke' for brushed nickel finish. Here is the wall-mount version:

Wo...this is so way cool! I need a neighbor to get me this one. I love the round design & how it'll clear all the counter space!

I've actually found myself shopping at Home Depot and City Mill and going onto Amazon and buying the exact same items for 15-20% less. And there's no sales tax! And free shipping! And now that we can get mail delivered downstairs, it's so easy. I will be ordering this paper towel holder. It looks great and it's cheaper than the Simplehuman one I was considering . . .

For those of you who can't find it, here's the amazon link for this "Umbra Tug" that everyone's talking about:

They actually have a 'wasabi green' on Amazon that seems to have the same brushed nickel finish, but sold through another vendor so no free shipping...

Thanks for the link, can't believe how much $$ I've spent since moving in!
