I'm looking for 1/4" pegboard hooks and accessories that can be used with steel pegboard.
I searched around a lot, and all I found were 1/8" hooks and 1/4" hooks with screws meant for hardboard pegboard.
Thanks!
I tried that but all I found were 1/8" ones. Figured I might have a better chance buying online. Will look around locally again this week.What about your local hardware store?
I've heard that it's best to go with the heavy duty/larger pegs and not the 1/8" size (less wobble).
Craftsman has a set of hooks that are coated so they stay in the pegboard.
You can also buy hook locks and/or bushings to hold them in place.
Lastly, I've heard the plastic hooks are sturdy enough and fit tightly into the pegboard.
The Triton are meant for hardboard or plastic only, and the white plastic ones look a little flimsy. Might give them a try.
The board I plan to use has backers to it already and are 16" x 32" in size. Backing it with hardboard is something I'd rather not have to do.If you purchase the metal peg board from DiamondLife they have the option to purchase hardboard pegboard to install behind the metal so the hooks and stuff fit right and do not rattle around. I am sure you than could use the Triton stuff with the screw which is real nice. Some stuff hangs from the screw and others can be installed "up side down" so it hangs from the hook.

I'll check it out, thanks! Looks pretty affordable for large quantities.Gershel Brothers has anything you could want....except screwdriver holders... Don't know about COO, but would you rather buy American or get what you want?

Looking closer at the prices, $10-15 including shipping is hard to pass up.Stuey,
Why don't you email wallpeg and they will send you a sample hook.
They are not flimsy at all. Several different types available including the JUMBO gusseted hook. The standard ones are exceptionally strong as well.

I greatly appreciate the offer, but I prefer to source the hooks from an online retailer. I plan to post a log of the project via ToolGuyd or elsewhere, and will have to be able to include a list of parts and sources.How many, and what length do you need?
I have some that are retail quality. If it isn't too many I will ship them to you for shipping cost.
Most the ones I have are the short ones, but I do have a few hundred of other lengths.
