Ideas for wall mounting Dewalt tool hutch

[David Paul]

So a friend of my son was looking to make more room in his garage and just wanted this tool hutch gone. It is now in my garage.

I didn’t really need it but for the price it’s now mine. I’d like to wall mount it here in place of the wall cabinet.


It is larger than I thought it would be. It is heavy even empty. If I was a welder I’d make up a mount for it but I’m not. Not looking to make anything out of wood. I have another shelving upright that matches the one in the back ground and was thinking of using that along with some angle iron cross pieces to make a “shelf” for it. All ideas welcome. Thanks.

French cleats are under appreciated. They are not always the best answer, but they don’t get enough respect.

How far back does the lid open?

How far back does the lid open?

Just less than 3inches.

I'd just make some heavy duty wall brackets from 2x4's. Notch the diagonal brace into the lower part of the vertical. Rabbet the horizontal into the top of the vertical, glue and screw together. I'd put a piece of 3/4" across the top to help even out the weight distribution.
