Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great if you are looking to clean and organize your space. Once installed onto the wall, you can use various hooks and attachements to your preference.
The only tricky thing is finding the studs behind your wall. Since the pre-drilled holes within the FastTrack rail are spaced where they are looking for an evenly spaced 16" between each studs.
As you know, while 16" stud spacing is the norm, this is not always the case. I have found that my garage did have mostly 16" spacing between studs, but sometimes a stud could have a 14" spacing.
My solution is to use a drill bit and to actually drill a new hole into the FastTrack rail. This works wonder since you do not have to rely on the pre-drilled holes if your studs are not spaced perfectly.
This way, you can ensure that you have at least 4 studs to attach this rail with. This would permit a maximum load capacity of 1500 pounds!
Oh, and to find a stud, it's best to use a stud finder and mark the "LEFT" and "RIGHT" edge of a stud. Then use a small nail and hammer it in between the "LEFT" and "RIGHT" edge. If the small nail "sticks" to a stud, you will feel resistance. If the small nail goes right through the drywall with no resistance, then you know that the stud is not there.
Don't worry about making too many nail holes since the FastTrack will cover it up. Just make sure that your nail holes are within the area that you wish to install the FastTrack.
Have fun decluttering!
