When we first saw the Rockler Pack Rack Tool Apron, we thought “man, that’s going to be very heavy to wear around the shop… not to mention as anti-fashionable as you can get!” Those of us who had half a brain, however, quickly pointed out that this is an organizational device intended for use on a cart or even a wall. The tool is specifically targeted towards the professional and DIY (do-it-yourself) woodworker who wants to keep everything handy and within reach in the workshop. The Rockler Pack Rack Tool Apron measures 24″ high and 21″ (at the bottom – it’s trapezoidal) and is made from a rugged denim fabric (which is why, at first blush, you may think it’s meant to be worn). The apron can hang from a wall thanks to built-in steel grommets located on each corner. You can also attach it to Rockler’s Pack Rack Clamp and Tool Storage System for a moving cart solution.
The Rockler Pack Rack Tool Apron has 33 pockets, including 9 larger pockets for tools, parts, and supplies – and around 24 smaller pockets that work perfectly for chisels, squares, screwdrivers, pens and pencils. There’s even a dedicated metal slot for your tape measure, 2 steel loops for your hammer, drill, or mallet, and a small steel loop for hanging rolls of tape.
