Drill Dock - Cordless Power Drill and Driver Tool Organization and Storage System for Workshop, Garage, and Job site

Total garbage drill immidiately falls to the floor. I use dewalt drills this thing cannot hold a drill for a second since the only use for this is to hold drills i do not understand who the hell designed this crap. I only tested it on a stable work bench cant immagine using it in a step ladder

Using a cordless drill or impact driver on a ladder is a common task and what to do with the drill when both hands are occupied with handling a fixture usually results in a roll of the dice of setting the drill on the top of the ladder or shelf and hoping you don't knock it over. I speak from experience in watching a nice cordless drill take a tumble from a ladder and have the chuck snap off on impact with the concrete 12 feet below. While I could play the OSHA game and wear a fall harness and lanyard all my tools, it's overkill for residential and indoor use.The various clamps hold the drill bucket to the ladder and the holes for drill bits and driver bits are simply brilliant. Wondering where your T25 driver bit bounced off to after knocking it off the ladder is now much less likely.I also tried it out mounted to the side of a 5 gallon bucket and it's brilliant for not having half your bucket of "honey do" tools occupied by your drill.Additionally, I tried it out clamped to a shelf over my workbench and it was much more convenient than a pegboard holder or many of the bent-wire drill holders on the market. The slight bell means the drill/driver naturally guide themselves in straight and you can holster the drill with peripheral vision as opposed to focusing on that ancillary task.It's not a cheap tool but it's a sturdy Made In USA tool that saves seconds on every task and frustration. Long term, it's a time saver and safety investment that will pay for itself in productivity.This was an evaluation item that I was provided free of charge but it's handy enough that I will purchase several with my own money so I can leave one on my bucket, one on my ladder. and one mounted over my workbench. I may also get a few for my handy relatives as gifts; certainly a lot more useful than another coffee mug or shaving kit.

I wasn't sure about this before I bought it. Being able to move the mounts helped. I bought a second one.

I swear I wrote this review already... head scratcherAnywho, probably an obvious point for people of the trades, but for a everyday Joe like me using it for household stuff, I bought it thinking I could use it to attach my drill to my tool belt. I got the thing and it's monstrous! I mean, it's exactly what I wanted, just not for the pipsqueak consumer Dewalt I have. The thing was giant on my tool belt, totally overkill, and the drill just fell right out of it.The quality is fantastic, super tough and looks like it can take some beatings. Has some other nice features too. It's too bad they don't make this for the smaller drills for consumers.

 

This is a fairly intuitive tool so one would wonder why instructions are needed. What they don't advertise about this product, and should, is the nice to discover feature that the magnetic bit clip and mounting brackets can be removed and rearranged to whichever of the three sides are desired. That's also where the instructions would come in handy as, in trying to separate the fixed mounting bracket from it, I broke the part that holds the fixed mounting bracket to the mounting clip that provides the ability to dynamically hang from shelves, buckets, or other items the clip fits around. Had instructions been included I likely would have been informed that removing the fixed mounting bracket from the hanger clip was pointless as the hanger won't mount to the holster without the fixed bracket. Perhaps instructions were initially included and this is a return that was sent to me... there were also two loose screws tumbling about in the box it came in that might have been secured with the instructions at some point?My desire for investigating the options with the mounting bracket removed from the hanger clip brings up another point where the product can be improved, providing mounting brackets that can be spaced for the desired angle rather that just assuming one angle fits all. Perhaps angled mounting bracket spacers that can clip in a stack to reach a wider range of options. Perhaps a means to screw the clip mount to a custom cut wedge and then screw the fixed mount to the other side of that wedge.Another place this product can improve is providing inner diameter spacers, or some means of securing loose sitting tools in the holster. My DeWalt impact driver with rubber bit attachment along the left drive edge fit with enough room to easily slip out of the holster were the shelves I attached it to jostled significantly. Perhaps custom attach a button strap to it to hold any tools inside in place while the anything it's attached to is jostled about between jobs, or hook and loop some bungie to hold tools in place. The clips do make the tool easier to work with in making custom mods.The magnet clip isn't as strong as "heavy duty" suggests to me. I was expecting rare earth strength magnetism but received something in the order of magnitude a common refrigerator magnet provides.With the cons and quality control experienced I'd give it a two star review but with the things they get right which I haven't found in any other product (the ability to hang a holster for my tools on anything I can screw the mounting brackets to or hang the clamp on, and mod friendliness) I feel compelled to still give this product a solid three stars. This definitely has the potential to be a five start product with a little more out of the box friendliness.
