and organized my wrenches. I finally got tired of rummaging through the drawer of the toolbox to find the wrench I needed. 1 2x4 piece of pegboard and a couple of hook sets later, and:
The black lines you see across the middle of the hooks are actually these little doohickey's:
My standard wrenches from 1/4" to 7/8" are along the top, metric below that, and my large wrenches (15-16" and up and 20mm and up are at the bottom.
The hook kits came with 6 screws and 6 spacers for mounting the pegboard. I used some heavy duty wallboard fasteners rated for 154 pounds each in 5/8" drywall and the spacers to mount the pegboard. This should make my mechanicing a bit easier.
My flare nut wrenches, open end wrenches, some duplicates, and my really big wrenches are still in the toolbox drawer.
Now, about those sockets.......

Re: Finally got a round tuit
This is one of the things I really need to do. I had those black clip thingies but they kept popping off along with the hook. Pissed doesn't describe the reaction to picking up both pieces when it happens.

Re: Finally got a round tuit
Looks clean, but it would drive me nuts. I keep my set in the original case. Everything has its place and I don't have to walk back to the wall to put it away/get another size. Guess I'm just lazy.

Re: Finally got a round tuit
looks good - I kept popping off the doo-hicky things so I ended up just hitting each hook with a blob from the hot melt glue gun...much better
