Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Storage Utility Hooks 5 Piece Black All in One Rail Hook Kit and Tool Organizer Heavy Duty for Home/Garage/Shed/Garden

1. I have a reasonable IQ, but when it comes to home repair / projects type of stuff, I admit it, I have some limitations. But like most people, I could always use some reorganization in the garage and thus after trying this and that over the years, I came across this product in the store and then purchased it via amazon (by the way, as some folks have mentioned, you can actually get better prices on some of the items at your local store and thus it pays to shop around). 2. My bottomline impressions: * In terms of it being almost dummy proof, no matter what the marketing people state, the achilles heel of any storage system where you need to mount something on the wall is finding the elusive stud. I won't go off on a tangent re: how lame stud finders are, but suffice to say, I've owned at least 3-4 of them and they are all hit / miss in actually finding the stud. More frustrating is the fact that although home builders supposedly follow some convention in terms of how frequently apart they space the studs, every home I've lived in doesn't follow that rule. Thus, when the Rubbermaid folks state that the ends of the rail must be attached to a stud, well... that may or may not happen depending on your wall. * The pragmatic bottomline is that despite the above, you're going to have at least one or likely two studs to utilize and then you can then use a decent drywall screw in the other holes. Note: the drywall screws that come with this product are so huge that it'll create a massive hole in your wall (I just advise getting a metal drywall screw; ie the one without the plastic sheath). * Other tips: get a bubble level (cheap) and having a powerdrill is handy (it's good to have one anyway). * Once you get the rail up, it is really solid, sturdy and equally important (unlike other systems) very very versatile; you can add or take up various attachments so as to hang up other stuff as per your needs over the years. Furthermore, Rubbermaid makes various rail lengths. 3. All in all, a very excellent, simple and flexible organizational tool for the garage... that is fairly easy to set up. Highly recommended.

Perfect size. Holds everything. Durable, sturdy and easy to install

I love FastTrack system. It's easy to put up and once the tracks are in place, you can move the hooks wherever you need them without screwing more holes in the wall. This kit was perfect for organizing the wall in my garage and the included hooks worked great.

Great for small spaces. This was exactly what I needed for a basement wall to hang garden tools. Easy to hang & very sturdy.

Exactly what we needed for garage and trailer organization!

Rubbermaid seems to be the Apple of garage storage -- stylish and pricy. I committed to Fasttrack ecosystem for a garage refinishing project, and I like it a lot. It is the classic "give away the razor and sell the blades" pricing model... the rails are quite reasonable but the accessories range from expensive to exorbitant. This particular kit was one of the last items I purchased. It includes 3 smaller, lighter weight hooks, one heavier weight multipurpose hook, a 32" rail and a mounting kit. In retrospect, I should have started with a kit... the kits seem to be the only items that ship with instructions. I bought this kit mainly for the smaller, lighter weight hooks. The are extremely useful in some cases, and the pre-packaged hits are currently the ONLY way to get them. They do not even appear on the Rubbermaid web site. I can't even guess what they are thinking, unless they are trying to keep the price of the kit down, but would prefer to sell heavier-weight $10-$20 hooks to folks who would really prefer to buy the lighter ones for $5. Unfortunately this kind of predatory pricing seems to be typical of an otherwise excellent product line. The rail consists of a metal backing that mounts to the wall, and a black vinyl front surface that snaps or slides onto the backing and actually supports the hooks and other accessories. I used the 32" rail to fill a 30" gap between my garage doors. I trimmed the rail itself to fit with a reciprocating saw and metal cutting blade. A hacksaw would also have worked fine, but I am running a continuous strip around all 4 walls of my largish two-car garage, and so am doing a lot of trimming. The hacksaw does does do a fine job on the vinyl, though. Rubbermaid's videos show the vinyl simply snapping over the mounted rail. That is a little optimistic. If one end is open, it will be much easier to slide the vinyl over the backing, rather than snapping it on. In my case, both ends were flush against the garage door frames and I was forced to snap it on. It is possible to do this with some potentially heavy open-hand blows, but I was doing a total of about 90 feet and that was going to be no fun even for a trained martial artist; I resorted to a heavy rubber mallet. The kit includes Genuine Rubbermaid (i.e., expensive) mounting hardware consisting of a handful of screws and a smaller handful of butterfly-type drywall anchors. This is my first experience with the Rubbermaid hardware - it is not included with the standalone railing - and it works fine; 2-1/2" #8 wood screws and any kind of substantial drywall anchor (for use only where there may not be a stud available) work fine as well, and for about 5% of Rubbermaid's price. I do not have any experience with the compatible shelves yet. The shelves themselves are currently in short supply and seem to be priced accordingly -- $10-$12 for a single 48" shelf where they are not in stock, $28-$30 where they are! The other accessories seem to be quite useful and intelligently designed. Do not underestimate the usefulness of the long-handled-tool s-hooks. They are the best (and often the only way) to hang many items other than long-handled tools.

I have used this product to hang yard and beach equipment in my garage. Easy to hang with cement walls and wall board alike. I try to use at least a couple of 2X4's when hanging on a wall board. But using modern wall sinkers will do the trick. I do not worry about the weight but I am sure there is a limitation suggested. The various hangers that are available work for many types of bags and tools. Moving the hangers is easy and quick and connecting them does not require a tool to remove or fasten them to the bar.

I purchased this short version to extend my current installed Rubbermaid FastTrack. Good price and highly recommend.

This system worked really well in my shed. I bought this with the bike attachment. The hooks are easy to attach to the rack. It was easy to install. It is sturdy enough to hold the bike. I would recommend it.

Adquirí el paquete de 5 piezas en 608 pesos, los acabados del metal son muy buenos, el plástico que cubre el riel se marca al mover de lugar los ganchos, lo uso para colgar mochilas, incluye 4 taquetes y 8 tornillos para instalación.

This product is fantastic. It was very easy to install and all parts fit perfectly. I bought 6 sets and the only suggestion would be that they offer a wider variety of hooks with each set because I now have 10 small hooks of the same type sitting in a box that I can't use at this time.

Work great. Have used them for years.

Supports a lot of weight and super easy to install. The anchors provided are not great to work with, I would rather see a toggle style but they did work.
