Default hand tool storage

Here I am again staring at the small mountain of hand tools on a shelf
in my shop, wondering what the
best solution would be for wall-mounting them. I bought the magnetic
thing but the magnets are too weak.
Most other systems require a configuration for each type of tool. In
trying to picture the "ultimate" system,
I see either a linear arrangement of pouches or a big rectangle of
them, with the pouches themselves
being similar to what you'd find in the five gallon bucket systems,
made of heavy clear plastic so the
tools can be seen. Haven't found anything on the internet yet.


I don't like the idea of plastic to hold tools. Plastic is famous for
trapping moisture. Rust will not be far behind.

If you must a transparent cover, perhaps some form of acrylic sheet with
LOTS of vent holes to make sure no moisture gets trapped.
