Why is pegboard so disappointing? Am I doing it wrong?

Nice hot rod!

I have a 4'X8' sheet above each workbench. Both sheets are full: ~8 most commonly used screwdrivers and a few pliers on each board. Then levels, clamps, hand saws, grease gun, bolt cutters, tape, scissors... I don't have enough floor space for even one additional toolbox (I have 4 already) let alone the 2? that it'd take for what's on the pegboard.
I have 1/4" thick pegboard, bought it 25 years ago when it was more common. I quickly learned to use the "good" heavy duty hooks and I buy them thru McMaster - and they don't fall out every time I use a tool. The only style that needs a screw or some glue are the ones for pliers- those ****.

I have some white pegboard for garden tools and stuff too big for tool drawers.

The pegs were loose and falling out so started adding a little cutoff of vinyl tubing over the pegs to make a snug fit.

Ok-
Then it’s either a cleat system, or slat wall.

We put boards on the wall with painted out lines where the tools were to be replaced after use. Only those tools necessary for that work station were on board. Stopped tool loss and theft.

You need more stuff…

Is that a metal roll-down security door above the windows?

Where do these come from? Are you happy with yours? Been wary of ground-level windows due to security concerns; this might be a good solution.
