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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pulley holes too big

I just built a shed and wanted something that could keep tools in my yard more organized. 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 is meant to be indoors but could also be outdoors. The only issue with it I think is getting the sun (live in Arizona) can degrade/weaken the plastic over time. Heat applied internally will not melt the plastic, but exposure to the sun will weaken the integrity of the structure, which may cause it to crack or bends.but just as important, it doesn't seem to be able to attach itself to any wall, if it's too heavy it can fall over, but it seems pretty solid to me.

Pros
  • Home storage and organization
Cons
  • No productivity
