Pro Tips

✓ Mount pegboard with at least 1/2 inch standoff from the wall so hooks have clearance
✓ Slatwall holds more weight than pegboard and allows horizontal bin rails — worth the price for a serious shop
✓ Group tools by task, not by type — keep all drill press items together, all clamps together
✓ Paint the wall behind dark pegboard white first so tools are easier to spot
