My brother-in-law called my pegboard garage wall a 'glorified junk display' after seeing it last weekend.
He said if everything has a spot, why is it still so hard to find a specific socket, so I spent Sunday afternoon sorting every tool into clear bins with printed labels, and honestly, it's already faster.

My uncle ran an auto shop for forty years and he had a rule about pegboards. He said they're only for the tools you reach for every single day, like your three most used screwdrivers or your daily wrench. Everything else goes in a labeled drawer because your eyes get tired scanning a wall of identical shadows. What you did with the bins fixes the real problem, which is that our brains find words faster than shapes when we're in a hurry. His "junk display" comment probably came from seeing stuff up there that hadn't moved in years.

But what if you need to see a tool to remember you own it? I keep my less common socket sizes on pegboard hooks. If they were hidden in a drawer, I'd forget I had them and buy duplicates. The visual reminder saves me money and time digging through bins.
