Pegboard Tool Storage Secrets

[@TonyDavino]

Hi Rob, I just installed a pegboard in my shop and was hunting KZbin for some tips on organizing and hanging my various tools. Your video is BY FAR the best resource I've found and thank you for that! I never thought about the custom holders idea, but they look great and are super functional. Thanks again for some great ideas! (I subscribed!)

@@TonyDavino Thanks for the sub Tony! I have a bunch of organization videos on the channel and also some videos of the custom tool holders I’ve recently built. Don’t forget to get the talon pegs. Not affiliated with them but they are the best. Thanks for your comment and Good luck with your storage project!

Excellent! I watched your video and came up with some ideas of my own for hanging heavy cordless power tools and batteries. Ty

I had the same magazine I built a my version of it. Inspired by your video doing another similar to yours. Thanks

Good advice. Would love to make the tool cabinet. I remember Shop Notes.

[@mheermance]

I think Woodsmith is selling plans for that Shop Notes project.

@@mheermance It’s worth it. 😉

Super information, thank you!

[@JHNguyen89]

This is awesome. Thanks Rob! Curious, what tools do you choose to put on a pegboard vs in your tool cabinet? Do you have duplicates on each?

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

My most used hand tools go on my pegboard cabinet.

[@handyndn1]

I love french cleats. I use them to hod up my pegboard.

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@handyndn1 lol!

[@hfrt29]

There's no video showing how to put the hooks in for the most efficient hanging I am just in the beginning of this video I hope you address that

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@hfrt29 just like everything you will have to tailor it to your own preferences and the tools that you have.

[@MichaelW-le4be]

Do you have a way to store wood files on pegboard? I don't. The files have no handles, holes, or any other way to hang them.

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@MichaelW-le4be I would probably use a magnetic bar and just mount it to the pegboard holes with drywall anchors.

[@CoffeaAribca]

Pvc pipe hung on a hook makes a container to hold things.

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@CoffeaAribca good hack!

[@unionse7en]

the older i get the more i realize ..just screw 1/2" OSB or plywood to the wall.. more versatile less faffing around.. no special rap needed. can attach anything anywhere.. SOme stiff fencing wire is very useful to make hangers with in combo with Lathe screws

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@unionse7en doesn’t look as fancy but just as effective. Still my favourite way to organize - OSB and screws

Hi Rob, thanks! Talking about tools, any recommendations for an auto scanner for Toyota/ Honda

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

I bought an Innova 5150RS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHObfZl3q8uams0si=n5F1qms2bUpYBmod

[@GoldenNuggetRec]

Ive just zipped the hooks that like to fall out

[@NoWeedsInMyGarden]

Rob, have you experimented with different size L hooks? If so, your recommendations? Too small and it won’t support the weight, too large and it is overkill for the price and more likely to split the wood?

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

You mean the square bend screw hooks for the custom made shelves? I have 3 sizes but the larger ones fit the best but are only suitable if you have a top shelf on your tool holder large enough to hide the screw. For the smaller holders you are forced to use smaller ones. I got the larger ones at home hardware and the smaller ones at Home Depot.

[@NoWeedsInMyGarden]

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, L hook or square bend hook. I have seen them on Amazon from 1” up to 2 5/8”. Have you ever had one fail because it was too small?

[@robsgaragewoodworkin]

@@NoWeedsInMyGarden no. Everything has been good
