Description
A collection of holder and base pairs that I use to mount my Ryobi tools on Craftsman Versatrack wall rail. The little hole was intended to put in a 6-32 heat-set insert for extra security, but I didn't end up needing them for the most part as friction was enough to hold everything in for me.
I printed the Versatrack rail mount parts with 8 perimeters which makes the Versatrack hanger part entirely solid. I didn't have any issues with either PLA or PETG even for heavier tools like the jigsaw. I had issues sometimes with them warping due them being relatively tall with a small base - using a 3mm brim seemed to help.
I used Cyanoacrylate glue to glue the two parts together.
Tools I've tested with so far:
| P738 High Volume Inflator | Standard Holder |
| P737D High Pressure Inflator | Standard Holder |
| PBLJS01B Brushless Cordless Jig Saw | Standard Holder |
| P796B Compact Area Light | Standard Holder |
| P601 Fixed Base Trim Router | Custom holder has an opening to allow for storage even with a bit still installed |
| P440 1/4 Sheet Sander | Custom holder /w a slot for the dust bag |
Update 12/28/2022: This model is generally not going to be updated much any further given that I am no longer in a home with Versatrack installed. Added a cross for more flexible mounting direction similar to my Slatwall holders I was working on. Also tweaked the tool holder profile slightly to better accommodate the HP tools that have an additional set of battery contacts.
Also expanded selection of lengths for the base. The 50mm is the equivalent of the old “Standard” length essentially and the 80mm is the equivalent of the old “Extended” length. Old models were archived in a separate folder if needed for whatever reason.
