The Ryobi LINK Modular Storage System melds several different aspects of tool storage into a highly versatile, portable solution. Sporting Ryobi’s green, gray, and black color scheme, the modular LINK system includes wall storage, rolling tool storage, organizers, and more. It encompasses both fixed and portable storage solutions. Clearly, this is Ryobi’s answer to Milwaukee Packout<\/a> but with a decidedly more affordable price point for prosumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryobi sent me a bunch of their Link products and accessories for use in my garage. That gave me a chance to test out a large variety of products at one time. Read on to see what I thought of it overall as well as my comments on various components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Tool Box<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those going to and from a jobsite, the Ryobi Link rolling toolbox<\/a> blends aluminum, plastic, and steel to let you easily transport tools and accessories securely. It does so without adding a ton of weight\u2014the bottom case alone supports up to 200 pounds of tools or materials. The Ryobi LINK Rolling Toolbox features 9-inch wheels, an internal double organizer, integrated bit storage, and an extending handle. You can stack two or three interlocking organizers or tool storage cases on top and roll them wherever you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ryobi LINK Wall Rack Tool Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the flying “lego-like” components that snap together horizontally, Ryobi LINK also includes tool holders and wall-based storage solutions. Stacked horizontally, you can use it to hold or mount ladders, shovels, power tools, outdoor power equipment, and more. Combined vertically, you could either mount entire Ryobi LINK toolboxes to the wall or secure them to work van shelving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is entirely modular\u2014on a scale that exceeds most other solutions. The modules fit together and secure to a wall or surface using screws. They also support both 16- and 24-inch on-center stud mounting. It’s a very flexible system\u2014and I always like having options.<\/p>\n\n\n

Given the presence of metal hangers, tool hangers, metal shelves, toolboxes, and more\u2014the individual modules also work together to let you scale vertically or horizontally as needed. This lets you extend your storage solution to whatever dimensions you need in your garage, shed, vehicle, or workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n

I created a LINK wall system measuring 6 units tall by 3 units wide (with a few units removed for mounting storage cabinets). That’s about as large as our original 9×9 shop Packout Wall which held a variety of our most commonly-used accessories and fasteners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also installed a Ryobi LINK wall system in my shed for hanging outdoor power equipment, extension cords, and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryobi LINK Tool Hangers and Shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ryobi LINK offers an assortment of both metal and plastic tool holders and shelves. Some include doors, while others are open and feature side holders for hand tools or bottom holders for power tools. A couple models support hanging up to four tools upside down\u2014with or without their batteries inserted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tops of the shelves easily hold tools (we store our Ryobi bug zapper<\/a> on the solid shelf). The side holders on the organizer shelf look perfect for hanging screwdrivers and\/or nut drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Other shelf units include the solid and wire shelf, which give you a nice flat surface for storing tools or accessories. The lockable and open tool organizer hangs drills and drivers while provided room for chargers, batteries, and other accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can mount singular trays to the wall system or grab the small parts organizer\u2014perfect for holding screws and nails. <\/p>\n\n\n

And, of course, the entire lineup mounts to those highly configurable Ryobi LINK wall-mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
