  • Recommendation:  The Other Pegboard - for those infrequently used items that don't warrant prime real estate but you still need to have around.  Credit to  for adding pegboard to the list of workbench solutions.  This is still a developing solution - but I like where it's going.  Less frequently used tools are stored on a pegboard attached to the workbench legs instead of the primary pegboard behind the workbench.

    The left side of the bench now has the magnet bar (relocated from the primary pegboard) that is the "Isle of Misfit Tools" (infrequently used tiny Torx drivers, odd drill bits, odd pliers).
    Again, this is a new storage solution for me but I think it has great promise.     Look for it to be overcrowded in the near future.

    Awesome. The magnetic bar is perfect to keep some tools just in reach while working .. strippers, snippers, clippers

     Agreed.  This one's brother still resides on the primary pegboard.  There is a consequence to storing tools on the magnet bar.  They too become magnetic.  That is a blessing and a curse.

    Any downsides on having magnetic tools? Asking because I don't appreciate any of my screwdrivers or plier having magnetic properties ...
