Today's product got off to a bad start. Anchor Sarah Schwabe actually got injured by it!

Let's see how our test goes with the Hanky Tanky.

Infomercial: "Are you constantly fighting for more closet space? We have the solution for you."

Let's hope that solution doesn't involve getting hurt!

Infomercial: "Introducing the Hanky Tanky Hanger."

The Hanky Tanky claims you can hang 12 tops or bottoms on one hanger.

Sarah recovered from her injury and we were back to putting this thing together. This is definitely a two person job.

"It's not easy is it," asks Sarah Schwabe.
"No it's not," replies Tommy Noel.
"See, it's not just me," says Sarah.

The Hanky Tanky is all put together. Since tank tops were listed first on the box, Sarah grabbed a dozen tanks to hang up.

"Luckily my closet is organized, so I can find them easily," says Sarah.

She didn't seem to have any problems putting them on the Hanky Tanky.

"Looks organized," says Sarah.

Sarah was worried about slipping and sliding, but all the tanks stayed put. Looks good right now, but what about in the closet? So far, so good.

"Well, that's nice. It definitely saves a lot of room," says Sarah.

Taking a tank top off the Hanky Tanky was easy, however...

"It's definitely not as easy to put it back on," says Sarah.

To compare, Sarah grabbed 12 regular hangers and put them next to the Hanky Tanky, with a noticeable difference.

"I do like how much space this saves," says Sarah.

Now this is the second time we've seen Sarah's closet. Back in March, she tried out the Wonder Hanger, which was a major disappointment.

"I do like the Hanky Tanky better than those [Wonder Hangers]" says Sarah.

To sum up the Hanky Tanky:
"Definitely a space saver, but not a time saver," says Sarah.

Now for Sarah's Spud-o-Meter rating.

"Three and a half," says Sarah.
