Default Best way to hang screwdrivers?

The moving room seemed to be the case New Year's morning, that's for
sure.

The 3/4" metal rings on my pegboard allow the thinnest-handled
screwdrivers to slide right through, and the shortest-shafted
precariously teeter, as they're not long enough to be supported by the
second ring which hangs two inches below.

Thanks for the input here folks. I do appreciate it.

I have a couple of pegboard "racks" or attachments kind of like the
rings, but they are just a series of "fingers" that the screwdrivers
slide into with the handles holding them up. Still might be a bit wide
for really thin handled screwdrivers (i.e. detail drivers like for
eyeglasses, etc.) but eliminates the "teetering" that you mention. I
think each holds about 8 or 10 screwdrivers. I believe that I picked
that up at a Builders Square (an old out-of-business BORG) a number of
years ago. I assume the same type of thing is sold wherever peg board
attachments are sold.
