This is very helpful. I really wanted to like the Ryobi Link system more than I actually did but you have found good ways to overcome some of their shortcomings.
I just found this channel. I'm starting my Ryobi set. I have about a dozen Ryobi tools. I have a newly-buily shed that I'm trying to organize and I love your thinking! Maybe you have one already but I'm sure lots of us would benefit and appreciate a small tour of your shop. I'd bet you have other awesome hacks that some of us haven't thought of or just didn't realize how to set something up most efficiently.
@@danconnelldesigns3168 Yeah it's a work in progress just kicking off, waiting on some materials to arrive making side panels covered in marine carpet, planning to mount Ryobi 18V battery chargers, Ryobi fan, spot light, batteries, radio, inverter etc. I think I will incorporate some of the link gear into it.
That sounds cool. I am planningba tool trailer build. I am hoping to power all the electronics with 18v batteries. Then mount all the link gear for storage. I'm hoping I can make life easier moving between my shop needs and my portable jobs.
I was really unhappy with the link system, but these little tweaks made such a difference it is all I use now. There are some nice options coming in the future as well.
Very nice vid, thanks for the commentary. Consider cutting some wooden wedges/angle blocks to mount a set of wall rails a bit above the work surface? If you use wedges then the bins will at least be tilted towards you and if you use angled blocks then they'll be tilted and provide a gap to drop in items behind the rails like chisels, small squares, screw drivers, and the like that you want to keep handy. Good luck, got yourself a new subscriber! :)
Really enjoyed this, some good ingenuity there. I'm just putting up my rails now and am trying to avoid the "wasted" space by stacking the rails vertically. I just did a few so far on one wall and I overlapped so while some spaces are on top of each other, there's also some parts with nothing directly below. However I think on the other walls I'm just going to do what you did and just straight up leave a rail's worth of space in between since there seems to be little reason to stack them. I do have the slim Link toolbox though which has to go on a stacked space but now i have that on the first wall so will be good to lock it in there.
I am not a huge fan of the hangers. The tools take up more space when they hang. As silly as it sounds, I just don't line the way it looks. I am waiting for the new shelves to hit the stores, and I will place it on a wire shelf. I also like the bandsaw on a shelf since I keep my extra blades stored with it.
@dconnell0248 The large tool hanger works pretty well for tools that are too large for the battery post holder. For example, my circular saw sits on the large hanger with the blade guard hanging down between the hooks.
That's a good use for the hangers. I have started using a few hangers to store my chainsaw and blower. I have the new Ryobi shelving now and plan to get that up in the near future.
I have most of my wall hangers in the studs, but some of them just didn't line up with where I wanted to put things. I have moved a lot around since this video though. Thank for watching.
Appreciate your time doing this. I have quite a few Ryobi One+ tools and batteries. I am a little concerned they may be changing to the Lithium system soon, so worried if I should continue to invest in One+ items…thoughts? Thanks again my friend!
I think that they will continue to support the one plus system even if they improve the batteries, this is there one claim that Ryobi has for keeping the platform going.
@@danconnelldesigns3168 Thanks Dan, I greatly appreciate your response. I have enough batteries and tools, in the One+ family, I should be good either way. If I need/want something new, I’ll take a leap of faith then.
You were talking about when Ryobi comes out with some kind of tool holder or some thing you were going to buy it. I think you should send this video to Ryobi and tell them to buy it for you because that would just be good business because you’re doing advertising like hell for them, or that’s a strange word to use for a positive you’re doing advertisement for Ryobi like crazy there we go that’s better anyway you got some pretty amazing stuff going on there maybe Ryobi is looking for an engineer I’ll put in a good word for you. Thanks 🙏
Do you have a method for attaching traditional peg board type hooks to the Ryobi Link wall? Or does Ryobi have something that is a long smaller rod that would allow for items to hang that are not tools?
These mounts are sold by Ryobi as reverseable hooks. You can unscrew the hook and use the mount on different shop fixtures. The link below is to the less expensive option on HD.com www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-LINK-Reversible-J-Hook-STM815/320242444

I am hopeful they will make some improvements as they move forward. Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks for commenting, I will try to do a shop tour video after Bee season is over and I get all my honey extraction done.
Just what I needed, I am about to get some link gear to store batteries and some tools in my camper van
Cool Mike, post a photo here when you are done. I have a similar idea and would love to see what you do.

I think that would be horizontal mounting lol but props for making stuff that you need rather than waiting for ryobi to get their act together!
I am definitely into making what I need, but I wish Ryobi would get more serious about this link system. It has potential
Very Clever. Ryobi should sell the reversible mounts without hooks just for this reason. Well done.
I agree completely, I am looking forward to their new released for the Link system to see what other hacks pop up.
@@danconnelldesigns3168 same!
Thanks for sharing, I wasn't interested in the link system before, now I'm considering it.
I was really unhappy with the link system, but these little tweaks made such a difference it is all I use now. There are some nice options coming in the future as well.

That's a great idea! Once winter arrives, I will be back in the shop to get organized. I like the idea of being able tonsee what's in the bins.
Awesome ideas, I hope Ryobi is paying attention to some of your incredible ideas.

@rolanm9750 share a photo of your wall, I am always looking for new ideas.
Gotta say, cleverly done. 💯
Thanks, I appreciate the comment.
Neat setup. What about using the hanger on the bandsaw to hang the unit? Save some shelf space

dang man, you need a 3D printer! You have some great ideas!
I have my ryobi tool holder screwed right on to the studs! It Just holds stronger! Close your tool holder when not in use! It just looks better!
I have most of my wall hangers in the studs, but some of them just didn't line up with where I wanted to put things. I have moved a lot around since this video though. Thank for watching.

Thank you for the kind remarks. I enjoy sharing tips and tricks with fellow crafters
thanks for sharing. I was just wondering about modding that link system and yt served up your vid. 👍
Thanks for commenting! I am super happy with how this worked out for me.
You could attach it to a PackOut item and merge the two systems or vice versa!
I have not tried that, good suggestion!
some genius little hacks
Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it.
EXCELLENT!!
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it when people take a moment to like and comment. It really helps with my motivation to do more content.

Ryobi does have some options for hanging various items. www.homedepot.com/s/Ryobi%20link?NCNI-5&Nao=48
Great video here. did the same but with Milwaukee on my channel. lots of hacks to be found if you put your mind to it.
I will keep at it man, thanks for the support, I'm diggin' your channel
that is awesome
Thanks for watching, I appreciate that you commented.
Nice! Thx for sharing these hacks.
Can u please provide a link to where i can buy the 3D printed battery holder?
I don't know if you can buy them. I downloaded the file from Thingiverse.com and printed it myself.
Where do you get these plastic mounts?
These mounts are sold by Ryobi as reverseable hooks. You can unscrew the hook and use the mount on different shop fixtures.

Bonjour,
Où acheter ces supports ?
Home Depot sells these online www.homedepot.com/s/ryobi%20link?NCNI-5
Ree oh bee
I will work on my pronunciation, I am always conflicted on which way to say it. Thanks
I think (my opinion) you say it correctly. It's not the gospel just cuz i say it but I say it the same way you say it.
Rye - oby
Ree Obee@@derekdeemie2074
Why do people have hard time saying "Ryobi" correctly? It's not that hard bro.
Stop saying Rai-yo-bee
It's sinply rrrrrrryo bee
