Summary: 4 Stars
I am rating this 4 stars because I think it is a good product, it just is not working for me in my anticipated location.
I bought this design because the tool supports were much higher. I figured that this would be more stable. What I hadn't accounted for was having to be able to lift the tool high enough to get it into the holes. I have a covered area for my lawn equipment, and the roof is lower than standard. It does have some pressure clip style holders where you need not lift the tool into the support, but some of my shovels have handles too large to force in there. It is well made, a cinch to put together (like a minute), and rolls just okay with a full load. My concrete was broomed fairly rough though, so that it was not slippery, so that is probably the issue there. For me, it is such a pain to get things in and out, that I find I am now beginning to just lean things up against it. Kind of defeats the purpose here, but overall has lots of storage and would probably be great inside of a garage, or something. I think even in one of the full size detached tool sheds, the 'headroom' problem would be an issue. So beware. :-(
Customer Review: Super solution to storing tools
Summary: 4 Stars
We got this just before moving to consolidate lots of tools from wall racks to something we could handle at a house with no garage (yet). It was so easy to assemble I did it in the kitchen and it took only about five minutes. It took longer figuring out where to put everything than it did to put it together.
It is very stable and the wheels make it very easy to move around. Basically, we stuck everything with a long handle in it and still have holes left over. The only knock I have on the unit is that there is no positive locations for the ends of the tools on the base so many of them flop around a bit making it somewhat harder to keep things organized. But even that is nothing compared to having all these tools handy and tangle free.
I looked at several other similar units and Rubbermaid's is much stronger and more stable. A good deal for the money. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to corral a number of yard tools in a small place.
Customer Review: Great Value But Could Be Improved
Summary: 4 Stars
The tool tower assembled in a jiffy and within 10 minutes I had a my yard tools off the garage floor and neatly organized. Great value but I do not dare move the thing. The plastic support rods would be better served if changed to rigid metal that lock into place. The casters do not roll well and pulling on the top shelf will cause it to pop off the support legs or cause the tools to shift around. The casters are only good for maybe moving the thing a few feet from the garage wall to sweep behind it. All in all it does the job for static storage and is a good value. All the upgrades to improve it would just add cost.
