I tried mightily to keep everything in a drawer toolbox for a long time,
but eventually gave in and decided I needed a pegboard for some stuff like:
1) big flat long stuff that would require buying the $7000 snap-on box
(like really long screwdrivers).
2) stuff that I grabbed first/all the time, and that spent very little time
in the box (drop light, etc.)
3) non-auto/bike stuff that just seemed not to belong in the box (hammers,
etc. and we were remodeling a house at the time and I got tired of
cleaning the drywall dust out of the drawers.)
4) a basic set of things the wife was likely to grab when she was about to
screw something up while I was at work (screwdrivers, etc.). I didn't want
her to have to look through a box, because I'm a nice guy (and I'm sticking
to that story).
but the pegboards I remember from a kid were awful, and there were threads
here about remedies for the hooks popping out (which led me to believe that
things hadn't improved), so I bought the metal pegboard system from griots'
garage. no complaints so far, if you've got to have a pegboard this is the
best solution I've seen so far.
