Where do you store your wood clamps? Stacked in a corner? Mixed in with a pile of wood? Hung precariously from a makeshift 2x4 hook on the wall? Or, wherever you last used them?

The middle of a glue-up is no time to be searching for the clamps you need. But for many of us, sadly, that's the way things often go. A perfect solution is to store your clamps on a Pack Rack Plus Clamp and Tool Storage Cart . With vast amounts of interior space and a few simple add-ons, it also accommodates a huge variety of tools and supplies. Best of all, it smoothly rolls wherever you need it most, keeping everything you need close at hand and neatly organized.

The basic Pack Rack consists of a heavy-duty steel A-frame mounted on four industrial-quality casters and a system of 5/8" steel clamp-hanging rods, which can be arranged in any of thirteen possible positions. The eight clamp rods included with the basic kit will let you keep all of your most used clamps at your fingertips, up to 4 foot pipe and bar clamps.

But you won’t want to stop there. Fitting the bottom of the Pack Rack frame with a plywood shelf will help you keep glue bottles, Clamp-It Assembly Squares, panel clamps, a mallet – whatever comes in handy during the clamping process. Also included are four steel auxiliary shelf brackets for the addition of a shop-made shelf at the height of your choice. The shelf brackets hang from the clamp rods; by design, they provide a little extra shelf-to-bar clearance and won't interfere with the clamp-hanging function of the bars.



Customize the Pack Rack to Suit Your Shop

The Rockler Pack Rack Plus, Clamp and Tool Storage System can be customized to suit your workshop storage needs. Additional shelf hooks, tool trays and tool holders are available to customize your Pack Rack Plus. You can even suspend the Dust Right 650 cfm Wall-Mount Dust Collector on the inside of the Pack Rack frame with the Dust Collector Bracket. And to top it all off, there's an optional steel shelf available for the top of the frame.

When it's all said and done, the Pack Rack offers the potential for a one-stop glue-up station. It's a great storage solution, both for large shops, where it simplifies the process of moving clamps, glue and related equipment form one location to another, and for small shops, where it helps keep things organized and out of the way when not in use.
