What has worked best for you?

Edit: Looking for something that can be hung on pegboard, if possible. Doesn't have to be designed for pegboard as long as it will hang straight.


* Not a recommendation, just the first pic I found
I use Ernst Manufacturing socket holders.. the holding part is a twist-lock so they go on and off easy but wont fall. Got em on Amazon.

Nice. Thanks for the tip.

I like the way the socket size is clearly printed on the holder - my eyes aren't what they used to be.

How is it you have all 3 of your 10mm's sockets accounted for

They come with a big ole pack of stickers with all the #s you'd ever need printed on them. I used a set of tweezers to place the stickers bc I have big, non-brain surgeon hands lol.

Man.. I always lose one, order another, and find the original the week after the replacement comes.. so I have 2 or 3 spares for each 10 you see there lol.

For the sake of throwing out ideas I ordered a bunch of this stuff from WallControl for my basement. I wanted something a bit more "professional looking" to display some stuff. Very happy with it https://www.wallcontrol.com/

I've been heavily working to clean out my garage as well as run some new electrical as the Z got a big brother a couple months ago.

I needed a new garage door seal I found on Amazon for like $30 I'll be trying to put that on tomorrow.

Great idea about the screen! Will definitely be looking to order one of those myself
