Track Rack – Track Saw Storage Rack By FastCap

The Track Rack storage system is a great way to store track saw guides safely. TBBCrew member Mike Hopp recently added some to his new box truck and I was intrigued.

Track Rack Storage System Cost

At $20 each, I picked up 2 pairs of the track rack storage system, one for my shop and one for the tool trailer.

What I Liked About Track Rack

What I like about the Track Rack System is that it allows you to mount most track saw guides vertically or horizontally. Tracksaw guides are the only good for you if they stay straight and undamaged. By securing them in a storage rack you eliminate the risks of damage.

Track Rack Mounting Options

The Track Rack System comes with long wood screws and metal self-tapping screws. The track rack secures with 4 screws each and can be mounted on any surface that allows it to be fastened securely, and keep the tracks safe.

The two mounting patterns [vertical or horizintal] give the flexibility to mount them on drywall, bare studs, panels on your garage door, or on trailer walls.

A green plastic cam lock and two stops, provide a positive secure lock that holds your fences safely.

Track Rack Compatability

The Track Rack System will work with the following track saw guides:

• Makita
• DEWALT
• Festool
• Kreg Adaptive Cutting System
• Triton 
• Does not work with:  Kreg AccuCut track

FastCap – 3rd Hand Little Hand XL

As a remodeling carpenter, I’ve hung cabinets a lot of different ways. Mostly I would screw a ledger board screwed to the wall. Other times, with help, I ganged cabinets together and installed them as one unit. A few years ago I saw plans for an adjustable, cabinet jack jig in an article, it was simple to make, utilized 2×4 scraps, some plywood and c-clamps. Being the industrious type, I made a pair and have been using them for a few years. I recently discovered the 3rd Hand Little Hand XL from FastCap.

Telescoping and Capacity

The 3rd Hand Little Hand XL lifts the cabinets, allowing the installer to a level and position. It has a 150-pound capacity, with oversized 6-inch x 6-inch Support Feet. The Little Hand jack have a lever that raises the jack to the desired height.  The jacks come in pairs and telescope from 23.5” to 38.” After the cabinets are installed, the jacks are easily removed by releasing a lever.

Solo Installations

Installing kitchen cabinets isn’t that far-fetched for a one person, the 3rd Hand Little Hand XL is perfect to place upper cabinets. I install the base cabinets first, then place ¾” plywood down on top. The plywood acts as a nice working platform for tools, plans and the 3rd Hand Little Hand XL. The Little Hand can then be positioned on top of the plywood base to lift and set the upper cabinets.

Hands Free Support

Supporting upper cabinets with the 3rd Hand Little Hand XL leaves both of your hands free to add shims, check for plumb, level, and add fasteners.

3rd Hand Little Hand XL Applications

The Little Hand XL is designed to support upper cabinets after the base cabinets have been installed. It’s also useful to support sink cutouts and for lifting and spreading parts. I’m sure as time goes on, I’ll find additional applications for them. Fast Cap also sells different lengths of the 3rd Hand system.

Cost

The 3rd Hand Little Hand XL is sold as a 2-piece system with a carrying bag and costs approximately $ 69.00 online .
