Anyone know of a good rack system for holding small tools?

I tried the Racks360 from Messicks. Total garbage. It’s broken twice now. I’m sending it back to them. Not sure why they thought flimsy plastic would hold up on a tractor.
I really like the idea of that. If it were durable, I’d pay twice what they asked.
I’ve got a chainsaw mount. I’d like to be able to mount a shovel and weed eater too. Has anyone here made a rack for this? Or maybe know of a quality one out there?
Edit:
Im looking to mount to the ROPS or main body of the tractor. I have a BX2380.

I saw those. They look good but I’m specifically looking for something to mount to the ROPS. I use some of the tools while scraping the road so I have my box blade on. I don’t think those would fit with the box blade.

Have enjoyed carrying chainsaw, chains, tools in square tubing made carriers.

No personal experience, but lots of choices from a company with a good reputation (from what I have seen).

Got it. I thought it was just a revision in paint color. So you’ve made two, probably have the kinks worked out then.

I think Smokeydog has the sweet setup…I use these (quickfists) inside my FJ. (Sort of looks like smokeydog used those for the trimmer or something similar). Great for securing tools and odd shapes like a pull pal, extinguisher, boomstick(s - plural😉), etc. you may be able to use something like that on the rops without any modification if you can find the right size.

Thanks all. Some good options to check out. If you come up with anything else let me know.
I may try to make something myself.

Here is what I made, the bottom shelf now has a plywood box on it for small tools and misc. things. I used the Quickfists to hold my long handle tools and also have used it for my string trimmer, they work great. No drilling it is clamped on the ROPS. I cam get more pics if you would like.
