So I finally got around to building my new workbench which handily came with a pegboard back panel and a bag of 20 or so basic horizontal pegs, the standard shitty ones which wobble and fall out all the time.

So, any tips on building a comprehensive pegboard wall for your standard bike and misc tools? Finding a decent range of pegs isn't as simple as I thought it would be!

make sure you have a duplicate set of tools in a box for when you take them away!!

After failing to find any good ones, I went to visit a guy with a CNC and injection molding workshop, made a mold then injection molded a heap of PPE hooks (it was years ago, afraid I don't have any spares, and they wear the pegboard after a while anyway). They're okay, but for this kind of thing you're still much better off making your own tool holders:

Those tool holders are indeed awesome but considering my woodworking tools consist of:
1) back saw
2) electric drill
3) ...

I'm not sure I have the time to make those!

I just used a big piece of plywood, painted white and hang the tools from panel pins.
