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.

Take a piece of jummywood or whatever you have, take a Forstner or spade
bit or whatever equal to the diameter of the handle of the screwdriver
and drill a recess into it for each screwdriver, then cut a slot from the
edge in to the center of the recess equal in width to the diameter of the
shaft. Fasten that to the pegboard with whatever seems appropriate.

If anybody wants to see a picture let me know.
