I've had a few people ask about these recently. Figured I'd just do a write up real quick. Also not sure what forum to post on so it's just in general.
So a while back I chanced across this cool Sortimo system from an Adam Savage video.
I thought it was an awesome idea and looked into it. I was all for it right up until I saw the price. Maybe if I had my own TV show I could afford it.
After some checking around I found something that was almost as good and much more in my price range.
I found a Stanley branded organizer that had a lot of the same features and built my own.

I ended up doing 18 and 2 seperate racks because they fit well under a table I had at the time. Added casters (with two locking in the front) to make it easier to move.
I thought about doing a single large tall rack but ultimately ended up with 2 smaller ones. It's rare I need both out at the same time.
I gave them a fun paint job with one being black (mostly parts) and one being yellow (mostly bolts/screws/nails).
It keeps a lot of functionality of the Sortimo system but at a fraction of the price (I'm in it less than 200$ for both).
Is it as well built as Adam's? Nope. Is it great for home use? Yup.
They even have their own theme song!
