Organizing Little Things

[LCHIEN]

I may be making more of this issue than I should, but it seems to me that the hooks used for storing tools on peg boards fall out quite easily. Is there a trick that will help reduce or eliminate this? ...

Dab of hot melt glue. You can peel it off if you need to move the hook.

I've had several different shops, and find out that how you work and what the work consists of is usually how the tools and supplies are laid out. My problem is I usually need two or more of everything. I keep to go boxes for installations, which also include tools, and have to keep duplicates for the work in the shop.

For small areas hardware supplies kept in the fishing type tackle boxes work well. Some have trays that slide out like drawers (typical). These trays can be divided up at will. Each tray/drawer can be brought to where in the shop you need it. When done, they can be placed back in the case and stacked up. They are waterproof.
