Tool Storage Reviews & Buying Guides

Tool storage takes many different forms. We’ve reviewed the best tool box and the best tool chest. Possibly the hottest new tool storage solution includes the likes of Milwaukee Packout and DeWalt ToughSystem 2.0. You can’t, however, forget to factor in garage storage solutions. Those include the Ryobi Link Modular Storage System and Milwaukee Packout Shop Storage. Our favorite tool storage solutions include gigantic tool chests from the likes of Husky and Craftsman. Even customizable, pre-filled boxes from Sonic Tools really capture our attention. We love features like soft close drawers, locking casters, power and USB options, and the over-the-top build quality. Tool storage has gone from blad to “wow” in just a few scant years.

Rockler Rubber Bench Mat Review

Rockler Rubber Bench Mat Review

by Clint DeBoer

Back in 2003 I purchased a product made of recycled rubber tires and cut it to fit inside my Jeep Liberty’s cargo area. It was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. When Rockler announced their Recycled Rubber Bench Mat I immediately knew that this excellent product had more or less made its way into the world of woodworking shops everywhere. What’s unique about it is the simplicity of design. There’s nothing fancy about it – it’s just rubber, but it’s the perfect texture and protection for any surface. Let’s face it, if your idea of the perfect worktop surface is linoleum, plywood or tile – this is going to revolutionize your life… or at least add a level of convenience and flexibility you hadn’t thought of before.

Dymo Rhino 5200 Label Printer Review

by Clint DeBoer

If you are a professional contractor, electrician, plumber, or like to keep your stuff organized and easy to find, by now you’ve likely heard of Dymo’s line of Rhino label printers. The Rhino labelers are one of few industrial quality products designed to serve the needs of journeymen and contracting professionals who need on-site labelers that can stand up to the tough elements and challenges faced on the jobsite. The company just released its Rhino 5200 to update and replace its already well-regarded RhinoPro 5000 label printer that has been an industry standard. The new product simplifies and augments an already impressive label printing tool. Dymo doesn’t just stop at the machines, however, they have an impressive and well-rounded line of label products that cover the gamut and function in almost any environment. This includes entry-level nylon tape, vinyl tape in multiple color choices and also permanent polyester labels which are hearty enough to work for outdoor use or application onto rough surfaces. We were happy to put our grubby hands on the new 5200 and, when we did, we were quite pleased with the results.

Dymo Rhino 6000 Label Printer Review

by Clint DeBoer

Dymo label printers have long been the serious user’s choice in label creation for quite some time now. With the new Rhino 6000 they have truly upped the ante in terms of features and capabilities. I say this for several reasons. One, the company has an extensive line of products that are specifically targeted for the professional and “pro-sumer” markets, and two, the Rhino brand is backed by labels that will work in a variety of applications and environments. From simple nylon tape that is perfect for cabling and simple label jobs, to vinyl which is available in many colors, to permanent polyester tape that can handle outdoor use and rough surfaces, Dymo has paid attention to the needs of custom A/V installers, electricians and journeymen everywhere.

Kerry-All 4′ x 8′ Plywood Pouch Review

by Thomas Gaige

Have you ever showed up at your local building supply store, loaded up our truck with materials only to have it start to rain as you were driving home? Since most of us don’t have vehicles or trailers to be able to transport larger size materials without them being exposed to the elements, how do you get them home with no damage? That’s easy with the line of Kerry-All Pouches from Kerry Woodworking. These pouches come in many sizes that allow you to slip in your materials to keep the weather off of them for easy transport with any vehicle or trailer.

Just slip the Strap Sack over your existing tie-down ratchets for a simple and effective solution to eliminate the issues that come from tangled straps and long tails that flap in the wind. With the Strap Stacks installed over your tie-down ratchets you will also have a handy place to store the strap when not in use and protect the ratcheting mechanism from the weather.
