VERSITRAY FLEXIBLE TOOL TRAY

-

The problem: losing tools, nuts and bolts when working on your Porsche, especially when carrying out jobs under the bonnet and treating every surface as a place to rest removed parts. Having items to hand in this way seems like a good idea until one of them falls into the engine bay and you lose time trying to retrieve it from the darkness below. The same is true when working in foot wells or the boot of your car.

Until now, magnetic trays have been the solution, but beyond your tools and removed metalware, this style of tray attracts swarf, which can result in scratched paint and contaminat­ed parts. Additional­ly, magnetic trays aren’t flexible and can be harmful to sensors and other electrical components, of which there can be a high number on a modern or modern-classic Porsche.

Silicone trays have proved too floppy to be useful and feature no functional pockets. Also, due to the nature of the base material, silicone trays are expensive and can’t be recycled.

Versitray is a flexible tool tray with “grip technology” adapting, flexing and securing itself to uneven surfaces, which means you can work smarter, be more organised and need never lose another tool, nut, bolt or clip again. The product is manufactur­ed from a unique non-slip, chemical-resistant, high-friction material allowing it to hold firm on gravity defying surfaces, thereby ensuring your tools and parts remain exactly where you want them.

The bright yellow material makes working in poorly illuminate­d spaces easier, too — dark-coloured screws and clips are easy to spot, while the Versitray’s anti-static properties ensure it stays cleaner for longer by repelling dirt, dust and debris. A host of novel design features making this the perfect accompanim­ent when working on your Porsche. For example, Versitray includes a lip allowing you to position your smartphone safely while watching an instructio­nal video. Five integral ‘pockets’ enable safe storage of screws and other small parts, and a round corner pocket is designed to hold a standard-sized drinks can. The Versitray also holds two hex bit packs tightly, enabling you to remove bits with a single hand.
