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

I bought a number of Rubbermaid FastTrack system pieces to help organize my garage. This kit contained a number of useful hooks and was a better value than buying them piecemeal at a hardware store. Installing the FastTrack system is very easy if you have exposed studs. Simply run a level along the studs at the height required and then use wood screws at every stud. With a wood screw every sixteen inches, I have no issues hanging full size mountain bikes at intervals along the track. A few cons: 1) the plastic covers for the tracks slide freely to the sides. You cannot fix them in place unless you glue them and then theyre stuck in place. Rubbermaid should remedy this by providing a means to clamp them in a fixed position. 2) the rails come in sizes that dont play perfectly with 16 stud increments. You always wend up with an end of the track hanging over the edge of the stud. Also, they dont have a means of connecting two adjoining rails to make a continuous run of track. You can butt the two edges together and it works, but theyve provided no means to connect them with hardware for added stability and strength. Those two issues aside, the FastTrack system works great and has freed up a lot of space in my garage. With our bikes, rakes, shovels, and other miscellaneous items mounted off the garage floor, it makes the area feel more spacious and allows us to park two cars inside without it feeling cramped.

Ive had this product in all my homes, best slim garage storage you can get, in my opinion.

Very good kit, comes with the basics for what you need to hand hoses/rakes/shovels or any other item you need in your garage. Currently have three up, two for basic household stuff and one for my bicycles!

Very easy to install. They keep my garage organized and clean. The holders work great. I am going to buy more and fill my garage with them. It screws in with 8 screws and has a cover to slide over so it looks nice. I have added a lot of weight to the rack and it held fine.

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 wont go off on a tangent re: how lame stud finders are, but suffice to say, Ive 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 Ive lived in doesnt 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, youre 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 itll 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 (its 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.

Good product but hooks slide too easily horizontally along the bar and since there are no end caps, they can slide off completely. That includes the plastic sleeve. For the steep price of the individual hooks, they should clamp down better to prevent sliding.

Easy to cut in half and install. Very sturdy

This is a great system,easy to install and the hangers can be placed where you need by sliding or quick unatach and place elsewhere.It gave my garage more space and makes it easy to find stuff.I recommend buying your own anchors,the ones provided are crap,i purchased the drywall anchors that are rated for 50 pds and used 8 of them on each section,holds my electric grinder,anvil vise attached to a 2x6 board which i placed tool sets and whatever on making a lot of weight,holds it up well.This is a great system

BEST garage organization kit you can buy for the money! Highly recommend.

So awesome for garage organizing
