Any one use pegboard instead of tool boxes?

Yeah, I would not waste time or money on thinner pegboard or smaller hooks. I picked up some used 1/4" pegboard and "wallpapered" it with 1920's engineer book pages, then used 1/4" pegs used from ebay to hang my tools. This was just after I finished papering it, I have a few more common tools on it now.

I have a '72 Chevy truck grill hanging in my shop too

New workbench location, gives better access to the Kennedy 526 woodworking box.. Did some pegboard Tetris to work in the space and added recent HJE purchases..

I'm in the process of getting everything organized in my new shop and I'm doing everything mechanical in boxes and all my woodworking on pegboard and displaying vintage woodworking tools high with pegboard. Good thread with a lot of help for organizing.

Shot of the table saw accessories are of my shop / peg board, as well as the vintage tools adjacent to it..

Revising (adding pegboard) to the basement shop "work cove'.... before and "in process".. Last picture is of the macro of this particular work space under the utility room of my home..

I use both. As for the pegboard hooks falling out, I have found that these pegmate retainers (found out about them here) work wonders: http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/1142/storage

Here is what I have, I try to put things on pegboard that do not stay organized well in drawers. I was still hanging up tools when I took that pic.

I did some pegboard Tetris and made a screw driver rack out of poplar to better organize the space..

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Just gave the screwdrivers on the left side of my cove workbench the same poplar bracket treatment.... Now more room on the pegboard for tools!

I'm definitely going peg board in my shop once I get the house remodel done. My tool box is over flowing with tools.

I'm waiting to find the headlight surrounds at the junkyard so I can install some speakers in it. I have a '53 Chevy grille on the opposite wall with speakers installed in it already.

I use one, I like to have some stuff easy to grab. Everything else goes in my box.

Added a poplar screwdriver rack to the pegboard in the garage, did a little pegboard Tetris to fit it all in. Eliminated the nut driver "booklet / pouch"..

Pegboard above my workbench down one wall

DIY slatwall (3/4" Plywood strips) down the other which will hold anything you could think of - cabinets, heavy items, etc

I love the spot/flood lights on the tail end of the garage hangers... Great idea...

Thanks - those work out pretty well. They are halogen so they can tend to warm the place up (good or bad depending on the outside temps)

They are actually called "Dock Lights"

Yes, dock lights.. I recognized them.. Zoro have them too, and I'm going to look around at building salvage places to see if I can land a couple cheap..

Thx..

Pegboards don't hold enough tools. Use shelves instead.

Did a bit of pegboard Tetris to fit in and consolidate all my crow bars and related....

Harbor freight . get the heavy ones with the locking nubb or *** . They dont fall out .

I have 16 ft. of pegboard and use it all . All box end and ratchet wrenches on pegboard free up a whole drawer .

All cutters free up another . Love the stuff .
