FLEX sent its [Track-Lock wall storage system]() along with a variety of compatible holders and storage accessories, which gave me the opportunity to test the setup in an active workshop environment. After installing the rails and loading the system with everything from landscaping tools to cordless drills and cleaning supplies, I quickly realized how much clutter this [garage-storage system]() could eliminate while still keeping my tools in easy reach. ## Easy Installation and Flexible Configuration Installation was simple—I used my cordless drill and attached the system to wall studs in my workshop. Once the rails were securely mounted, the accessories snapped into place quickly and locked firmly onto the track. One of the biggest advantages of the system is how easily the layout can be changed. During testing, I repositioned hooks and holders several times to better fit larger tools, extension cords, and workshop accessories without needing to remove the rail itself. - ![Attaching components to Flex Track-Lock]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Flex stackable tool box]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Flex Track-Lock shelving and horizontal holders]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Flex Track-Lock components for drills and grinders]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![A product tester using the Flex Track-Lock stackable vacuum]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Flex Track-Lock Wall Storage system]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![The FLEX storage system holding showing its 35 pound vertical storage]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![The FLEX storage system holding poles and cords during testing]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Flex storage systm for holders for screwdrivers and paper towels]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Putting a grinder in its holder while testing the FLEX storage system]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![A product tester rolling a stack of Flex tool boxes during testing ]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Special holder for pliers on on the Flex Track Lock]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Special ladder holder on Flex Track]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* - ![Store cords right on tool box]() *Photo: Glenda Taylor for BobVila.com* [][][] ## Keeps Tools Organized and Within Reach Over a couple of weeks, I used the [Track-Lock system]() to organize long-handled landscaping tools, extension cords, screwdrivers, cordless drills, an angle grinder, paper towels, and heavier items like a drywall sander. I especially liked how the system helped clear tools off both the floor and my cluttered workbench while still keeping them visible and within reach. Instead of stacking tools in drawers or bins, the wall layout made it easy to quickly grab what I needed and return it to the same spot afterward. ## Final Thoughts on the FLEX Track-Lock System Ultimately, what impressed me most about the [FLEX Track-Lock system]() was its flexibility. Many wall-storage systems are limited to hanging a few tools, but this setup adapted easily as my storage needs changed. For garage mechanics, DIYers, or workshop users looking to reclaim floor space and organize a growing tool collection, the Track-Lock system offers a durable and thoughtfully designed solution that can be expanded over time. ## Author Glenda Taylor is a BobVila.com staff writer with a background in the residential remodeling, home building, and home improvement industries.
