Ah yes, Ree-obi vs Rye-obi. I've actually had people try to tell me I was pronouncing it wrong! 😂

So you're essentially just leaning it against the wall, and the S-Hook just keeps the handle upright?

LOL, that's pretty much what happened to me. I figured I wouldn't buy any more than what Ryobi originally sent for review. Then I saw a few deals, and a few more deals... If you sign up for the Home Depot deal of the day email, they've had the 4 pack of rails for $35-40 a few times the last few weeks.

Oh man, I do get the deal of the day, but have never saw that pack cheaper on there, but I will be looking now! Thanks

It was all the way at the bottom both times I saw it.

Thanks! 🤣 I figured if I had a criticism about it not holding together and couldn't make it happen on camera, then that clip deserved to make the final cut even if I looked like a fool.

@@DoresoomReviewsyou didn't look like a fool at all 👍...it happens to all of us . Glad u left it in .

@Doresoom Tool Reviews First, why would anyone want to "stand up" their Ryobi (ree•obi) flat toolbox? Secondly, you seem to complain about small or non-existent issues with things (foam insert, rails, etc). Why are you having a baseball bat on the rails? Your tool belt? Your ladder? I prefer to lay down my ladder(s) against the wall for safety reasons. Also, why in the hell would a tradesman pick up his flat toolbox and shake it upside down (parts bin test of yours)?

LOL Ted. From your comment it sounds like 1) You aren't interested in a wall hanging system and 2) You don't like reviews that have any critical points against the product. Why are you watching this review?

@Doresoom Tool Reviews 1) I am interested in Ryobi's (Ree•obi) Link wall system. How naive of you to assume that I'm not? Rhetorical question there. 2) I didn't see one critical or constructive point about any major issues with said products. All you did was nitpick the setup of an empty flat tool box and piss poor management of hanging items on the Link wall system. I mean, hanging a tool belt and baseball bat on the LWS? 😆. Why don't you actually put items into the flat tool box with the two parts bin and see if they [bins] move around? From your whiny response to my comments, it sounds like you cannot take any constructive criticism and/or suggestions on how to actually test these tool accessories out. Do you actually work in the trades?

Part of me thinks that's why they raised it too. 🤣 50% off sounds way better than 33% off!

@@DoresoomReviews Confirmed, the four pack is 50% off today.

I also agree that the price is a bit high but I usually get them when they’re on sale…I currently have all of my tool on cleats so I’m just collecting the rails as I go and will eventually transition over to the link system fully. I do however have a full set up in my garage for all of my outdoor power tools. Home Depot recently had an insane deal on the rail system where you got two 2-pack rails for $34.99….That’s less than $10 a rail! I got 8 total…Not sure we will ever see anything that good again. Also, Direct Tools had the standard 2pack of them for $20 for a little while. Just gotta be on the look out for them and strike when you can.

Ryobi came out with those reversible hooks about 6 months after releasing the Link system, if I'm remembering correctly. I hadn't seen a good deal on them yet so I didn't have any to review. I can see how they'd help maximize usable space though! As for the foam, are you using the small toolbox, or the medium one, or the wheeled one? Yeah, I bought 4 rails for $35 one week on the HD deal of the day, and then another 4 at $35 the next week!

I haven’t purchased the reversible hooks yet only because I don’t have a need for them at this time. But I do think the product itself is pretty neat. I use the foam in my medium tool box. And my use I mean I store it there but haven’t cut it out for tools yet. (I can’t decide on what tools would be best) I may or may not get another insert but the fact that the tool holder takes away so much usable space drives me crazy.

Ah, that means my hypothesis about the foam was right. The deeper toolboxes must have a narrower interior at the bottom, since the molds all need a slight draft angle to release the parts once they've cooled.

Glad you found something that it works for!

I think it would handle most loads without the extra bracing that the drywall provides. But I don't think I'd load it down with a 50 lb ladder on a hook not directly over a stud though.

A whole new world of possibilities! 😂

Ryobi: "That's kind of our thing though..."

@@DoresoomReviews sadly.

It's been years now - still wish they'd go back to the blue.

Personally I do think it looks a little better with a solid wall, but I think it looks fine how I did mine too. It's so inefficient to stack them immediately on top of each other, since you usually can't use that space anyway since whatever you hang on the rail above it is in the way. If Ryobi made the rails significantly cheaper, then I'd probably fill in the gaps I left.

@@DoresoomReviews IMO it's a 50% space waste concept in general. Every other space is lost to it's filled one etc... Thank you for the detailed review.
