Shop Tip
 |
No-hook hangers for perforated
hardboard
Tool hooks seem to come off perforated hardboard as easily as
the tools they hold, so I came up with a different solution. I
epoxied 1⁄2″ rare-earth magnets to the heads of #10×1⁄2″
flathead screws. These thread easily by hand into typical 1⁄8″
perforated-hardboard holes. I use them to hold chisels,
screwdrivers, squares, files, and wrenches.
