The Rubbermaid FastTrack storage system is one of the best garage wall organization products you can buy. As with any organization system, you need to understand the big picture before picking out the pieces you want to purchase. Here's what you need to know.
You can buy pieces individually, and you can get one of the kits Rubbermaid sells. I would start with a kit unless I knew exactly what I needed. There's a huge FastTrack hook and storage item reference in the Reboot My Garage article (opens in a new window): A Complete Guide to the Rubbermaid FastTrack Storage System
Quick Look at How Rubbermaid FastTrack Works
- Screw the strip into the garage wall studs
- Once the strip is mounted, you don't need a drill and screws anymore
- Place the hooks on the strip
- Hang the tools from the hooks
- You can easily unlock and move the hooks around
