Here’s a perfect way to mount your handheld power tools on your pegboard so that they are easily accessible at your workbench. The Right Arrange pegboard drill holder can hold just about any drill, cordless or corded.

Additionally, these hooks fit onto all standard-sized pegboards and work with metal and non-metal varieties.

Right Arrange Pegboard Bins

All Aboard

Line your pegboard with these versatile bins to keep any workspace beautifully organized.

Best for Storage

Find on Amazon

If you have a lot of small hardware to organize, these pegboard bins are going to make your life easier. Available in three different sizes — 3½”, 5″, and 7″ — these bins secure firmly to both metal and wood pegboards with only two hooks. Better still, the hooks are metal, which means they’ll break less often than cheaper plastic hooks. We love these pegboard bins for a sewing room, where different spool sizes and thread colors can be neatly organized and always at arm’s reach.

Pros:

• Works on all standard-sized pegboards
• Available in three colors
• Comes in packs of 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24

Cons:

• Bins can slip side-to-side on hooks
• Lightweight wire not for heavy objects

With 140 pieces in total, there’s practically an infinite number of storage and organization options in the Incly pegboard hooks set. And it’s not just a box full of metal hooks of different sizes (although there are more than 70 of those) — it also has three storage baskets of different sizes, a multi-tool rack, and several sizes of ring-hook holders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a trick to securing a pegboard to the wall?

Actually, yes, there is. You need to make sure there’s at least a ½” gap between the pegboard and the wall, or else the hooks won’t go into the pegboard holes. A simple way to do this is with “furring strips,” which are ½” strips of wood that go in the corners between your pegboard and the wall. Secure your wood screw through the pegboard and strip and into the wall.

Is it possible to secure a pegboard to drywall?

Yes, it is. First, make sure you either have spacers or furring strips to create the proper gap between the pegboard and the wall. Use drywall screws if you’re not drilling into the studs. That said, if you’re using a pegboard to hang a lot of heavy tools in the garage, you should try to secure your pegboard directly to the wall studs.

I’m considering a pegboard made of particleboard. Will it be strong enough?

Many pegboards made of particleboard, when properly installed, can hold up to 100 lbs. So unless you’re storing a lot of heavy tools, particleboard is fine for most home applications.
