Peg boards are the best imo , at least then you can spot the tool you need at a glance and don't have to spend 10 minutes digging through draws on a tool trolley :lol:

I hate peg board. The bloody hooks always come off with the tools. I have a tool board 9 metres long and 900 deep. It is made of stock size floor panels and has been up for about 20 years. Get a cordless screw driver and a couple of hundred screws and start hanging up tools. Underneath the board are narrow timber shelves with bits of wooden dowel sticking out of it with each dowel holding a socket (100's). Plan it all and list everything as you do it because if some low life pinches it all you will not remember half of what you have got for insurance purposes. My mate was done over and he never claimed it all due to not having lists. Photos aren't a bad idea either.
