@@desireeespinosa3954 I did that to make a custom hook for an assortment of combination wrenches. I cut it down and used a vice to put a small bend into it.
My favorite thing about your video is your AUTHENTICITY. I kind of felt I was in your garage hanging out with you. Thanks for your help, after about 2 days of searching your video was exactly what I was looking for
I am obsessed with pegboard. I am 100% visual and I need to know where to LOOK for my tools or I wander around lost and waste TONS of time. So I am with you on that!!
A shop is always evolving so changes are easier with pegboard and still keep things neat. I mounted 4 x 8 foot pegboard on 3 walls of my garage with the long end horizontal. This leaves room under the pegboard for storage. This system has evolved from family storage to mechanical and currently woodwork/hobby shop. I never regretted doing this. A good way to test if you like pegboard is to mount a pegboard backing on your workbench and play with the tool organization. Be careful, the tool reconfiguring can become obsessive.
It takes time to build our collection of useful tools, Love the organization for ease of finding what we need when it is needed and I can't think of anything better than pegboard for that. I find the visual inspiring. Thanks for sharing your system.
To create longevity with the pegboard. I got creative. Spray flex seal on both sides (you choose how many coats). Then, when it dries, you can spray paint it (if you desire). Let it dry. Now you have a durable pegboard. 💪🏽
My spare room in my house that I use for utility stuff I thought it would be funny to put up a massive pegboard in. Well that turned out to be a really good idea so I built a whole wall sized frame and now the far side wall is a literal 30 foot full pegboard wall. Best idea ever. It has EVERYTHING I could need on it
Im a big garage noob, been using ours for heavy duty art stuff like casting and spraypainting sculptures.. just put a pegboard up and had no clue where to start. This video is just so calming and perfect!!!!! I had to give props. Thanks for your tips n tricks!
I need to get rid of some shelving so I can hang more pegboard! One of my go to lines when people see my garage is I'm not as handy as I look. I'm a collector....
Best video on pegboards bc you explained planning vs. just putting one up and not thinking about changes, growth as your stay organizeD, as your needs change. TY.
Best video out there for pegboard uses. Our tools have a very few commonalities (pliers, screwdrivers, scissors) but you showed up close the different hooks and how you used them. In the next few weeks I'm getting a pegboard mounted above my work table and am hoping that it will allow my work table to be mostly clear while I'm working if that makes sense. Thank you!
I've been wresting with the "to peg or not to peg" question for years. Now I have moved for the last time and ready to build my last shop. Your peg job has won me over.
This dude really likes Pegboard; I don’t blame him. I added pegboard to my garage set-up, but I spray painted it a dark grey. Looks awesome and my tools are nicely organized.
Interesting. What was the original colour of the pegboard? I'm not a fan of either black or white, and have been leaning towards that medium brown that's visible in the video. Hadn't considered a dark grey -- was that for visibility/contrast re: the tools hanging in front of it, or purely an aesthetic preference?
So helpful. I couldn't figure out what those shelf pegs were for. So excited to have a spot for the shelf and all my adhesives. And also had no idea what those peg locks were for. Almost threw them out. Thank you!
I just took over the garage pegboard from my wife who used to use it for her framing business. I'm here to get ideas, so thanks. I have nothing against pegboards, but I actually prefer to keep the bulk of my tools in my tool cart and tool chest & cabinet combo.
Dude, ill forget what tools i have, if I cant see them. I am the embodiment of "out of sight, out of mind". I recently organized my shed, and couldn't remember what wrenches i have; literally just 7 of them, and half of them are duplicates. I'm gonna put some peg board up next. See how I feel about it.
Thank you for sharing . I am doing my own garage and you set up gave me ideas . Thank you 🙏 . Amazon defiantly had great peg board set ups . I got all mine online .
Trying to get all my tools organized for the first time in a long time, and I notice I have a problem with never remembering what I have. I'll work on a project and buy some new tools, only to later find that I already had one of those tools, but because it wasn't readily findable or visible I bought another one. Recently in this work I've discovered that 6" 3/8ths socket extensions are apparently quite useful, because I have about 12 of them! This guy reminds me a lot of myself, going through the tool store and grabbing stuff saying "Now THIS will be handy if I need it!", only to actually need it sometime, not remember I have it, then later after I finish the job, find it and go "BLEEP I forgot I had this damn thing!". To this end, I just recently completely cleaned out and modernized my basement, built a nice workbench and shelf, and last night installed my pegboard wall.
When we moved into our house the previous owner had 2 large pieces of pegboard handing already in the garage. My best tools I keep in my locked toolbox but I do keep tools I use constantly on the pegboard such as a #2 Phillips, slip-joint pliers, side cutters, scissors, and wood saw among others. That way it’s easy, quick access since it’s right above my work bench; I can just keep working and not take time opening drawers.
I happen to like your pegboard project i'm all about organize & neatness thank you for sharing I will be doing some art work on my board befor hunging them up back in 78 when we were buying our house my wife was looking at the inside and I was looking at the garage I guess it was a guy thing being in the auto collision for 45 years I think you could understand
Good video, I like the way you hang up the socket racks. Personally I use the screw driver racks to hold my pliers. Just slip one leg in the hole and you can easily fit quite a few
Good stuff. Likewise I'm more of a visual guy and find stuff far faster when on a pegboard. I've gone as far as turned it into a shadow board. Ill tape up my tools then spray paint over so if I look at the board and I see something missing I know exactly what it is. Also can appreciate having the tools most needed closest. Less steps = more productivity.
Great video, John. I use both in my garage but really enjoy the accessibility of the peg board. I forget who said it but I heard once, "drawers are where tools go to die". There is some truth to it.
I have had pegboard in my shop for thirty years, and I still don't have it right. Only solution for wildly varied hobbies, and home, and auto, maintenance. I've used french cleats, tool boxes, cabinets, and I keep coming back to the peg board.
Thanks for the video. Myself I've noticed how much time I spend looking for tools and I'm getting more organized now after moving a year or so ago. I'll share a tip on mounting the black panels if you have or borrow a laser level that throws a grid I think you'll find that will do it.
Costco has some 4 foot led shop lights. They are like $20 and are fantastic! I have recently added a few over my work bench and it has made life so much easier.
Great video! I see you have both metric and SAE tools. Like your socket sets are all red handles. You can buy spray or can of dipping rubber paint “Plasti Dip” available at box stores, harbor freight, Ace hardware. Just dip the handles in blue color rubber coating for. Just something that will help quickly identify between metric and SAE tools. Just a suggestion. Thanks again for the tour of your tool organization.
That's a great idea! I have the sockets arranged SAE on the right and Metric on the left, starting 1/4 inch and working out to 1/2 inch. Extensions in the middle. It takes a half second to figure out where to put them but so far it has worked. I'd love to try that Plasti Dip on some other tool handles. It looks pretty cool.
The Milwaukee Fuel Series brushless Motor drill and impact driver is the best set of drills and drivers on the market hands down!! I just picked up a set of the fuel Series the same you use in this video. After being a Dewalt only guy for almost my entire life just because they my dad used it. I needed to buy a new set of drills/drivers and after doing my homework I found this fuel line by Milwaukee, and even though they are the most expensive set that any hardware store carries they are the BEST set that the store will carry! I just wanted to point that out because I have switched from buying Dewalt to Milwaukee tools, and I see your a Milwaukee tool guy too. I didn’t think there would be a difference until I made the switch, and let me tell you!! Way better quality of tool in every way possible!! Thanks for the video I got a lot of good ideas for my garage!
I found a bunch of rubber bumbers like the ones you used behind your black pegboard where the screws go through. So now i have anidea of how to use them! Thanks! A lot of great ideas.
Peg boards are great imo, the way I use them since my space is limited to put them in is the following. I use them only to hang tools that I’m using on any current project. When done with such projects which usually takes me a week or so 😂 I clean them and put away in their drawers. My OCD needs to have everything away and protected from dust and out of view. My table needs to be CLEAR at all times, if not I can’t start a new project. Cool video tho, is nice to see how everyone does things so differently yet we try to accomplish the same outcome. Organization!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I like that you put the multi-driver up because your kids gave it to you, it is probably a better tool than the Crafty drivers, I got tired of taking the Craftsman drivers back to Sears for a replacement when the tips twisted so I bought Klein drivers, problem solved. Awesome video, great organizing, thank you!
Nice setup! I'm reorganizing my garage and one entire wall was installed with pegboard by a prior owner. You gave me some good ideas how to customize my space.
@8:21 nice of you to keep that screwdriver up there, I got my dad the same deal when I was a kid and he explained to me that cheap tools are worthless and not to be used. I never saw that thing again LOL
I never liked the pegboard system of tool storage but you do it very well. I prefer magnet strips because i like that most anything will stick and doesn't need to always be in the same place but at a glance I can see the tools. I only hang tools i use most often on the wall. All other tools go in drawers
12:30 That long one I use a couple of those to hang rolls of tape. Duct tape, electrical tape, scotch tape, teflon tape, it all goes on those long ones. Works pretty good.
That's a great idea! I have some long bolts I've been using but if I hand my tape on the pegboard I can free up the other spots for more stuff. Thanks!
I like your garage brother getting a home pretty soon so been snooping around looking at other folks places , I have an addiction to tools as well 50% of my tools were free I would go on Craigslist and offer up and put “free tools” and would go grab them also a buddy’s uncle passed and he saw my addiction to tools and liked that I came over to help him or his nephew so he left me a full snap on tool cart with multiple snap on tools Mac tools and pluepoint tools (he was a mechanic) other than that not even 10% of my tools have been bought by me I have about 3 truck loads of them too
Pegboard is great for the tools you use all the time. I can also spot in an instant if a tool is missing. Then I can figure out where I could have left it or whether my son has run off with it.
I am a pegboard hater But i loved your rundown of the setup. Recently I compromised on the idea of a tool board, by hanging a 2x6 8’ long and drilling my own hooks. For me, if i see too much stuff hanging, i go tool blind. I need a horizontal lineup so i know where to look for my stuff. I prefer drawers with labels But things like wrenches on the wall look nice 👍🏼 or speedsquares that i use all the time!
@@easylivingsherpa I bend the tip of the zip-tie, insert it into one side of the peg, feed it through and then wiggle it a bit until it pops out the desired hole. Sometime a small flathead screwdriver or needlenose pliers help. It works best with thinner zip-ties. It can be a little fiddly but usually it's easy to do. For hooks that I want staying put, I use this regularly.
I love this. Wish I had MORE wall for more pegboard. Your tools and stuff are in plain sight and easy reach. I use the long hangers for multiple rolls of tape. Wish I had those Milwaukee “vise grips”: easy to hang
Very nice. I like tool storage cabinets/boxes and peg board. I was out riding one of the HOA properties I service one night and someone had thrown out a piece of white plastic pegboard about the size of half a sheet of plywood with the bigger holes in it. Yeah that went directly into the bed of my pick up truck and then home later lol.
Nice setup. I have something very similar. Hang your tape measure on the peg board from the belt clip. I'd probably put the coleman camp light on the top shelf and then put all of the lubricants on the shelf the light is currently on and remove that small back shelf on top of work bench because it's taking up some valuable workspace and casting a shadow for things to get lost towards the back.
I love pegboards. They're great. I have hooks falling off as well. I'm thinking about adding a tiny segment of a 1/4" drip line tube to the bottom pin of the hook so it fits the pegboard hole tightly, that way it won't fall out.
Finally got sick of fumbling around through a zilliion HD buckets for stuff. I'm constantly losing things, looking for things, finding things I was looking for previously but not currently, and I really enjoyed this video. I noticed that 1992 double tape deck compact stereo you got there on the shelf! I had one of those back in the day as well in high school ahahahahahahahaha! I bought a bunch of different smaller pegs at HarborFreight. With this craziness due to COVID I'm trying not to go out unecessarily. Picked up 3 pieces of the 2' x 4' traditional wood pegboard at the Depot today as well. I used 6 1/4" x 1 1/4" washers behind the boards to give me some space to easily install the attachments. What's silly about the HD pegboards is that installed horizontally or vertically the boards are screwed up in terms of the spacing of the holes - it just doesn't line up but luckily with 1/8" attachments you get a little wiggle room in the holes. I don't think it will work with 1/4" pegs though. I don't know how big your garage is but it looks like you could install some plywood in the ceiling and have some additional storage space without risking anything falling down. Of course that entails building some stairs. I have an old 1947 Cape with those miniature afterthought garages that is barely wide enough for me to fit my MINI in. No way the Tacoma or the Sienna is fitting in there! Next up will be ripping out the sheetrock in the ceiling and building some stairs so I can get up there. Btw I wanted just the locks so I found those on Amazon as well. Keep up the good work John. I really enjoy your videos.
yep, if the tool is hanging up I can find it..... completely agree with you.... I only buy a tool if I need it, but had to move into a bigger garage. 50 years of collecting tools..... now have 40 x 60 ft lined with peg board. Planned my garage so when I back my car in the automotive hand tools are right by the front hood. I don't own a roll about. Garage I worked for when I was a kid used "shared peg board tools", I didn't have any of my own at that time, so got into the habit of cleaning up and storing at the end of the day so the next mechanic could find them on the silhouetted peg board..... Seen many silly over priced tool roll abouts that fall over when more than 2 drawers are open at the same time.... Even more stupid is trying to load them when one changes jobs....
This is UA-cam. You can find someone who doesn't like pretty much anything. I agree on finding things on Pegboard and couldn't imagine life without it.
It is probably because the title is vague. Most people were probably looking for a how to video about hanging a pegboard not a tour of some strangers garage. Elexcellet video though!
Sir you are not alone in your need to be more visual in your work habits. The 6S principles used in industrial settings work to reduce clutter and have only what is needed where it is needed. Rolling tool stands with yes..pegboarded tools are a standard item in places where 6S is implemented. Those who choose to use a drawer system will find that trying to categorize all their tools becomes futile as their are more categories than they have drawers available. Pegboard to the rescue for those odd items and the ones most used. The one problem I find in my decades of using pegboard is the lack of wall space for all the needed pegboard. In areas of special need ...say near a specific machine in the shop, I make a frame of solid pine about 3" deep, backed with pegboard, and put only items for use at that spot...nicely highlights those tools from all the rest in the area. Adam Savage of Myth Buster fame has many videos about his shop organizing ideas and the rolling racks or "tool trees " as he calls them are an idea I am going to try in my shop.
I love my pegboard best investment for tool organization I’ve done over the last few years. Those M12 drill and impact are great. You should look into their 3/8” impact wrench and ratchet. (They just released a 1/2” ratchet too)They’re next on my purchase list. Great video!
I tried the Talon peg board pegs and they really hold well to the pegboard. I did have to re design and modify almost everyone to hold the tool I wanted the way I wanted it. The biggest problem was the screwdrivers were free to flop around a lot. The Talons are expensive and I would never buy the group of 48 again.
Just bought a new home,the garage has just concrete block walls,no studs with drywall. Should I liquid nail wood strips then put up my peg board up that way or use masonry screws with those spacers shown?

It looks like the quarter inch ones are more stable in the holes and don’t lean to one side, also, I bet they fall out less when you pick up tools.

That's a great idea! I have some long bolts I've been using but if I hand my tape on the pegboard I can free up the other spots for more stuff. Thanks!
used Pegboard in my other shop, made it easer to find and organize things, I now have a 40x40 shop, going to use pegboard in it too.
I like this guy hes real and honest.
I agree with you 100%.....pegboard is the way to go.....ps...you don’t owe anyone any kind of explanation.....👍👍
I love your system! I think pegboards are smart and functional.
I'm actually about to put one up in my craft room.
Thanks for the tour and explanation- very helpful.
I like your garage brother getting a home pretty soon so been snooping around looking at other folks places , I have an addiction to tools as well 50% of my tools were free I would go on Craigslist and offer up and put “free tools” and would go grab them also a buddy’s uncle passed and he saw my addiction to tools and liked that I came over to help him or his nephew so he left me a full snap on tool cart with multiple snap on tools Mac tools and pluepoint tools (he was a mechanic) other than that not even 10% of my tools have been bought by me I have about 3 truck loads of them too
I’m not a pegboard guy but if it works for you that’s great. My biggest complaint is pegboard takes up lots of wall space. Same with French cleats.
Pegboard is great for the tools you use all the time. I can also spot in an instant if a tool is missing. Then I can figure out where I could have left it or whether my son has run off with it.
I agree!
I am a pegboard hater But i loved your rundown of the setup.
Recently I compromised on the idea of a tool board, by hanging a 2x6 8’ long and drilling my own hooks. For me, if i see too much stuff hanging, i go tool blind. I need a horizontal lineup so i know where to look for my stuff. I prefer drawers with labels But things like wrenches on the wall look nice 👍🏼 or speedsquares that i use all the time!
good morring i liked your video alot yes you gave me a loot of ideas thanks alot have a good day
Just a tip: Black zip ties work great as peg board peg holders
I like that one! Thank you.
So how do you feed the zip thru the holes from the back when it's mounted to a wall?
@@easylivingsherpa I bend the tip of the zip-tie, insert it into one side of the peg, feed it through and then wiggle it a bit until it pops out the desired hole. Sometime a small flathead screwdriver or needlenose pliers help. It works best with thinner zip-ties. It can be a little fiddly but usually it's easy to do. For hooks that I want staying put, I use this regularly.
I love this. Wish I had MORE wall for more pegboard. Your tools and stuff are in plain sight and easy reach. I use the long hangers for multiple rolls of tape. Wish I had those Milwaukee “vise grips”: easy to hang
Thank you. Love your set up.
Very nice. I like tool storage cabinets/boxes and peg board. I was out riding one of the HOA properties I service one night and someone had thrown out a piece of white plastic pegboard about the size of half a sheet of plywood with the bigger holes in it. Yeah that went directly into the bed of my pick up truck and then home later lol.
Nice setup. I have something very similar. Hang your tape measure on the peg board from the belt clip. I'd probably put the coleman camp light on the top shelf and then put all of the lubricants on the shelf the light is currently on and remove that small back shelf on top of work bench because it's taking up some valuable workspace and casting a shadow for things to get lost towards the back.
Murray from Impractical Jokers?
I love pegboards. They're great. I have hooks falling off as well. I'm thinking about adding a tiny segment of a 1/4" drip line tube to the bottom pin of the hook so it fits the pegboard hole tightly, that way it won't fall out.
Hot glue them in place, works great for me and it's lo-buck!!!
Cool. Working on organizing my shed into a workshop of sorts. Starting with scrap pieces of pegboard from the recycling center.
Why would anyone hate peg board?
Finally got sick of fumbling around through a zilliion HD buckets for stuff. I'm constantly losing things, looking for things, finding things I was looking for previously but not currently, and I really enjoyed this video. I noticed that 1992 double tape deck compact stereo you got there on the shelf! I had one of those back in the day as well in high school ahahahahahahahaha!
I bought a bunch of different smaller pegs at HarborFreight. With this craziness due to COVID I'm trying not to go out unecessarily. Picked up 3 pieces of the 2' x 4' traditional wood pegboard at the Depot today as well. I used 6 1/4" x 1 1/4" washers behind the boards to give me some space to easily install the attachments. What's silly about the HD pegboards is that installed horizontally or vertically the boards are screwed up in terms of the spacing of the holes - it just doesn't line up but luckily with 1/8" attachments you get a little wiggle room in the holes. I don't think it will work with 1/4" pegs though.
I don't know how big your garage is but it looks like you could install some plywood in the ceiling and have some additional storage space without risking anything falling down. Of course that entails building some stairs. I have an old 1947 Cape with those miniature afterthought garages that is barely wide enough for me to fit my MINI in. No way the Tacoma or the Sienna is fitting in there! Next up will be ripping out the sheetrock in the ceiling and building some stairs so I can get up there.
Btw I wanted just the locks so I found those on Amazon as well.
Keep up the good work John. I really enjoy your videos.
clean as you go, organize as you go. Works in the kitchen and in the garage.
You like those soft hands, huh? Luxiorious!
One of the best things about peg board is you can easily see your tools and you can tell fast if your son has “borrowed “one or two .
Nice shop. I love pegboard, too many ways to set up
yep, if the tool is hanging up I can find it..... completely agree with you.... I only buy a tool if I need it, but had to move into a bigger garage. 50 years of collecting tools..... now have 40 x 60 ft lined with peg board. Planned my garage so when I back my car in the automotive hand tools are right by the front hood. I don't own a roll about. Garage I worked for when I was a kid used "shared peg board tools", I didn't have any of my own at that time, so got into the habit of cleaning up and storing at the end of the day so the next mechanic could find them on the silhouetted peg board..... Seen many silly over priced tool roll abouts that fall over when more than 2 drawers are open at the same time.... Even more stupid is trying to load them when one changes jobs....
Just what I was looking for love it, so jealous of your tool collection 👏
I love My peg board always changing it around
Found some cool shelves and
Slot wall
How the hell does one not like pegboards? I'm the same. If I dont see it, I'll go crazy looking for it. Its quick to find on peg boards ... PERIOD.
This is UA-cam. You can find someone who doesn't like pretty much anything. I agree on finding things on Pegboard and couldn't imagine life without it.
I have peg board in my shop. I like that I can change it anyway I like it. I also have a roll away with labels on the drawers.
I hate the loose pegs!!! I have found for Peg (lo-buck) locks, I just hot glue them in. Works great, but rough to relocate if you change your mind.
What a Great Video.. This guy is sharing some great info
-
27 Negatives??.. ..Just can't please some people
It is probably because the title is vague. Most people were probably looking for a how to video about hanging a pegboard not a tour of some strangers garage. Elexcellet video though!
Im the same way! If I cant see it, guess im buying another one. Because I'm not going to find it until the next project when I don't need it.
Sir you are not alone in your need to be more visual in your work habits. The 6S principles used in industrial settings work to reduce clutter and have only what is needed where it is needed. Rolling tool stands with yes..pegboarded tools are a standard item in places where 6S is implemented. Those who choose to use a drawer system will find that trying to categorize all their tools becomes futile as their are more categories than they have drawers available. Pegboard to the rescue for those odd items and the ones most used. The one problem I find in my decades of using pegboard is the lack of wall space for all the needed pegboard. In areas of special need ...say near a specific machine in the shop, I make a frame of solid pine about 3" deep, backed with pegboard, and put only items for use at that spot...nicely highlights those tools from all the rest in the area. Adam Savage of Myth Buster fame has many videos about his shop organizing ideas and the rolling racks or "tool trees " as he calls them are an idea I am going to try in my shop.
I love my pegboard best investment for tool organization I’ve done over the last few years. Those M12 drill and impact are great. You should look into their 3/8” impact wrench and ratchet. (They just released a 1/2” ratchet too)They’re next on my purchase list. Great video!
I'd love to go nuts with the M12 stuff...and a few of the heavier m18 stuff. If only money was no object.... Pegboard is one of my favorite 'Tools'.
Love you workshop. I am exactly the same. Every tool has a place. If I can't find it, it drives me crazy. Well done
A socket fell off the wall at some point over the winter. I have no idea where it is but the hole is right there and it's annoying me soooooo much.
I feel your pain. Drives me crazy when something goes missing. Im a real pain when it comes to the workshop
Yes, the falling pegs thing is annoying, but I love peg board for its versatility.
Can you please share what you are using for heat in this video. Thanks!
Thanks for inspiring me to better organize my tools.
I like your pegboard👍😎
I'm still organizing my shop, maybe I should get some of that to put up.
Me too Gordan, I love his shop and the detail explanation. those peg locks are great, i didn't know they existed. I gotta get some.
I tried the Talon peg board pegs and they really hold well to the pegboard. I did have to re design and modify almost everyone to hold the tool I wanted the way I wanted it. The biggest problem was the screwdrivers were free to flop around a lot. The Talons are expensive and I would never buy the group of 48 again.
You can get pegboard shelves and baskets to hold the bigger bulkier atuff
Good job. I love being organized
Gooood job. I'm trying to finish mine. Getting some ideas.
Just bought a new home,the garage has just concrete block walls,no studs with drywall. Should I liquid nail wood strips then put up my peg board up that way or use masonry screws with those spacers shown?
