Default hand tool storage

" wrote in

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.


Why not just use pegboard and hooks? You can get some stuff that's
plenty strong to hold your hammers (heaviest hand tool I can think of at
the moment that I'd hang), as well as being completely reconfigurable on
demand.

Want a screwdriver holder? You can make a simple one that fits into the
pegboard and either attaches to the hooks or is held on by bolts.
