I have slatwall installed on the walls of my shop and I've used Gladiator accessories without a problem. I assumed that all slatwall items would work with Gladiator but this might not be the case.

I believe they look similar but are actually just different enough not to work IIRC. Although that was a couple years ago. I went with a Gladiator hybrid system. I like the gladiator panels and hooks/accy's..looks a little nicer. I don't like the gladiator cabinets, so I'm using the Sears Prof. cabinets (link below). Made a recon trip to sears..measured the gladiator cabinet mounting brackets and made my own. :) They were not sold separately back then (last year) Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait to see the completion as my garage is tore up. I'm installing a new sub-panel and additional outlets. One of those never-ending, multi-month/year projects. lol One of these days...
