PATCHBOX Setup.exe 2 Installation Tool - Quick Mount for Patch Panel, Computer Cabinet, Server, Network Racks and Laptops - Compatible with 19” Rails, Square and Threaded Holes - Supports 50kg/100lb

This fairly simple device makes inserting and removing heavier, and even light, rack-mounted equipment so much easier, especially when you're working alone. It also works great as a temporary laptop stand. My only complaint would be the price, but it is so well- designed and useful, I think it's worth every penny.

This is a neat tool to have as a network engineer. I have used this to help install switches and used it as a desk for my laptop while standing in front of a rack. This is always in my tool bag when doing installations!

Very helpful for installing equipment solo. It's also nice that it doubles as a spot for my laptop as well when I'm working in a data room. It would be a 5 star product if it had a place to store the spare pins for threaded/non-threaded racks and a way to adjust for different rail widths without the need of a separate tool.

Very well built and thought out tool. Have used this on different racks with cage nuts and tapped holes. The tool is adjustable to work with varying thickness rails. Needs 1 U spacing to fit.The tool needs the rail drilled and tapped so the alternate spring pins can be stored on the tool. Also a case would be nice.

Works okay. Nice idea. Seems like a pretty good idea for a rough draft. I'd like to see it again down the road when they've made some improvements. Overpriced by about 400%.

I have been in IT for 30 years. After working in many data centers and standing in front of countless server / networking racks, this product has been a life saver. This has made mounting new hardware much safer, has cut my install/ mounting times down considerably. Great tool and super handy. An easy decision to buy and I highly recommend this to anyone installing networking equipment especially if they do so alone. It's better than a second pair of hands! Don't wait, buy it. You will not regret it!

Helps so much especially with battery back units in cabinets

First off this is a great idea for a product. However could have been so much better.1) Price. This should cost a few bucks to make in China. Even if they charged $100, it would still be tons of profit, for it being basically two pieces of metal on a hinge $250 is ludicrous.2) Size. If you plan on traveling and using this during installs it is too long to fit in a standard laptop backpack. They should have made it slide out and extend like server rails do and then you could transport it at a reasonable size.3) Extra hardware needed. You need a 10mm wrench to swap the ends from square open hole to the threaded adapters. AND you need a 13mm wrench to adjust the bolts if it doesn’t fit your rack. So now you need to buy and carry around 2 wrenches + the extra adapters (that can easily get lost) + the unit itself. This should have been designed better to require less extra parts and tools… a Dell Server rail has no extra parts or tools needed, can extend, support tons of weight, etc. as an example, you just need to put the effort into designing something better.4) Lack of support. I emailed support with a simple question and never got any response.End Result= Product Returned.
