Hanging pliers on pegboard

[Codyboy]

They're perfectly fine as long as you overlook that it is not humanly possible to remove the pliers and leave the hook behind.

The pegs i used to have had the hook insert part and it had a welded peg that fit tight into the hole below.
They never fell or pulled out. When we moved I left them in the pegboard and figured I'd just buy new ones.
Couldn't find any like them went to several places.
So I settled for just the single hook with no peg to capture it .
Freaking junk. Ive hated pegboard ever since.
I don't like the plastic clips either,

I like the magnets - I have been using a tray that fits to pegboard - these are those recently used. When I get around to it they'll get put in the drawer leaving only those that get used all the time out ... but in the meantime

There are also rubber bushings/inserts (Peg Locks) that prevent detaching of 1/8" and 1/4" hooks, etc. from pegboard.

Roert, where did you buy these?

Thanks

I just found that picture on the internet.

Harbor freight sells some though.

I have way too many plyers for a peg board. So many that they over filled a 16"x30" tool box drawer. A few weeks ago I found a great solution. I got an old cookie pan from my wife and used it to make a second level of plyers in the tool box drawer. I just keep the odd ball ones in the drawer bottom and the ones I use more often in the cookie pan on top.

Another vote for magnet bars, but be sure to buy strong ones. Some of those that are available are not up to the job. These have worked very well for me:

And me for magnets they keep the tools neat and tidy

I’m late to the party thread . I hope this is still helpful.

I have a screwdriver rack (bottom left of the picture) that does double duty with pliers and I also use standard pegs with plastic holders so they don’t move (as much).


Some of the pegs are longer and hold 2-3 pliers.

Some pegs even with plastic retaining clips aren’t strong in their holes, but for the most part.. everything stays in place. I use a right angle hook to loosen the plastic clips when I inevitably want to add or move another peg.

I'm for a bigger tool box.
