Mike SiegelEveryone just went to the cloud because they were sick of their fingers getting pinched by these fuckers.

j_angliss@wolf480pl @mikesiegel I've used patchbox's similar version (/dev/mount). While they do work nice, the issue you tend to have with them with is rails tend to be of fixed length, and often don't have enough space to pull an inch+ longer than designed, so you can never get the rails on the post properly.
At least with the patchbox version, the bolt is welded onto the bracket. If you accidentally turn too hard, you can shear the weld and you just end up with a spinning bolt you cannot get out.

huh... I guess I'm lucky that the only rails I've dealt with were Dell's ReadyRails which are both length-adjustable and toolless

@wolf480pl @mikesiegel Dell's ReadyRails are nice, used those plenty. Even so, there is a limit to how adjustable they are, same for most rail kits. Even more impactful when you have deeper racks.
I had to mount an older Citrix SDX. The rails could extend to about 30.5", mounting in a 29" deep rack. With the /dev/null devices had to fight to get the end of the rails around the bolts.
Don't get me wrong, they're very cool just some caveats. I have the rack studs in a shopping list to try, too.
