Review on πŸ”§ Rubbermaid 5A47 30-Tool Corner Tool Organizer: Maximize Space & Efficiency by Beth Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Roller holes too big

I just built a shed and wanted something that would keep my tools together in my yard in a more organized way. I wanted something I could easily move outside the shed using the casters that are on the bottom. In this review I will try to answer some of the questions asked. The tower post was pretty solid and easy to assemble, aside from the fact that the rollers went into holes at the bottom but wouldn't stay put. (They are in the picture because they stay there, but as soon as you move them they fall out) The casters are designed to simply fit straight into a pre-made hole. As if the holes were too big for the rollers. As far as I know you can put tools there in two ways. A path straight from above. Just slide in. This isn't the best way to do it if it's in a barn due to lack of height. The other way, if I'm not mistaken, is to go sideways. Walking on the side is a little difficult. Maybe my instruments are (preferably) too wide in diameter. It was hard to break the board. It's advertised as 40 tools, but I think that's handy, I could probably fit half of them. (See posted photos) This tower measures 20.5"L x 38"W x 34.4"H and was designed for indoor use, but could also stand outdoors. The only problem with it I think will be the sun (lives in Arizona) will eventually degrade/weaken the plastic over time. When applied internally, heat will not melt the plastic, but exposure to the sun will weaken the integrity of the structure, which can cause it to fail breaks or bends.It doesn't seem able to be attached to walls.It may fall over if it's too heavy,but it seems pretty solid to me.

Pros
  • Best in the alcove
Cons
  • Angry
