Tool Hanging Question ???

[BILL WZOREK]

To start with I know Ryan has a Garage Journal But Thought I would stay in my confort zone and ask here first.
I have a peg board with a lot of my special / coustom / shop built Tools hanging on.
Here is the problem every time I take a tool off The hook comes with it .
It's a real pain in the A**.
Has any one found a hook system that works with a peg board that the hooks stay were intended ?????

Many of the pegboard hooks you can buy at Home Depot/Lowes/etc come with little black plastic clips that snap between two holes, symmetrically on either side of the hook that keep it from lifting or coming out too easily. I've had good luck with them.

Well ain't that just "KOOL"

THANKS bobgrice

Sounds like a stocking stuffer for "MY" stocking !!!!!!

My tools always end up on the floor so I think I'm just going to paint a red line around them (like they do at crime scenes) so I can remember where they belong... LOL

Bill, the peg board hooks I use have a little wire form spring steel clip that snaps in the hole below the hole the hook fits in and keeps the hook in place (most of the time ).

Simple answer. Peg board has 1/4 inch holes, most of the big box stores cheep hooke that are undersize and do not have back tabs. You need to get actual 1/4 inch hooks with a back tab that faces up behind the peg board when the hook is inserted. It's made into hooks, all quality hooks are made that way and should fit tight when inserted. Frank

I put a little silicone on the back of the hook and hanger pin and that seems to keep the little buggers in place. After the silicone sets it's good to go and not a big deal to pull them off to re-arrange.

Take a picture of the board with all the tools on it. Then, take the tools off and drill a 1/16" hole on each side of the hanger, somewhere just above the bottom of the clip. Next, take the board down and wire each hanger to the board using the new holes. Twist the wires on the back side of the board. Put the board back up and use the picture to get all your stuff hung back where it was.

Geesh - I like Vic's idea the best - it's the simplest!

And Bill - how many different type hammers do you have?!?!?! LOL !!!!!

[Vic Piano]

Hey Tom, you know that (to work on Flathead Fords) you only need one hammer, a BFH... I keep one in my tool box right next to the bailing wire and duct tape... LOL

[Tim Ayers]

I've noticed there are two different types of hangers. One with thin wire and one with some pretty thick gauge wire. Next time you go, look closely and you'll see what I mean.

The thick hangers take some pressure to get into the peg board and usually stay put without anything holding them in place.

For the thinner ones, I'll fish a zip tie and secure it that way. Once locked in with the zip tie, they ain't moving.

NOW I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM went to the big box store & after looking for some one to help me 20 min no B.S. we looked and found the plastic locks that was recommended,Problem is you can't buy just the plastic locks,it comes with hooks also, SO now I have extra hooks.
It the old catch 22 or Hot dog verse bun Dilemma.
O well guess I need to go buy some more stuff to fill them up but wait I don't have enough plastic locks.

All kidding aside Thanks guys I did not know those were even out there.
They work GREAT !!!!

in the Air Force we signed out our tool boxes at the beginning of the shift and every tool, even the smallest ones, had a cut out shadow in foam lining in the drawers. You darned well inventoried it EVERY job, and when you turned it in at the end of the night. Heaven help the poor schmuck who couldn't remember where he left that 1/16 allen wrench!

I need to start doing that in my tool boxes now and on peg board. You could paint or tape shadows for each tool so at a glance you know if anything is missing.

Was that because they didn't want a bunch of tools rattling around in the planes while they were flying?? (I once put a used trailer hitch on an old Chevy. For years, I was missing my 9/16 - 5/8 box wrench. Just before I junked the car, I crawled underneath and there was that wrench still stuck on the nut it was holding when I tightened the last bolt.)

These Talon hooks fasten well without coming off and come in both 1/8 and 1/4 inch sizes. They come in a limited number of styles and are not as strong as some auto tools need.
