Pegboard Pliers Rack Multiple Sizes - Sy's Peglock

Sturdy and simple tool holder rack designed so the tools are stored with the metal ends facing downward so they can be grasped by the handles for safety.  I created multiple racks to organize different sizes of pliers (scissors or other tools), all designed to fit in the same compact space.     

This tool holder rack is designed for pegboards with 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole spacing commonly sold in US hardware stores. Designed around Sy's Peglock System, both the pegboard holder and pegboard clips can be printed flat and without supports.  This eliminates the weak pegs that are prone to breaking in other pegboard models because the print orientation is not optimal for the strength of the hooks, which are much stronger when the plane of the hook is parallel to the print bed.  

The build plate includes two pegs for the typical 0.25-inch (6.35 mm) thick "Home Depot" pegboard with 0.25-inch holes.  While pegboards in the US have a standard 1" hole spacing, the actual boards can be a range of thicknesses and hole sizes.  So sizing hooks to fit the thickest boards, results in a loose-fitting hook on the thinner-boards.   You can generate different sized pegs from this Onshape project.

Multiple rack sizes available:

LARGE - four 18mm slots

MEDIUM - five 15mm slots

SMALL - five 12mm slots

EXTRA SMALL - six 10mm slots

MULTI-SIZED - one 18mm/two 15mm/two 12mm slots

Printing: 

Each sized rack is separated onto a different build plate.  I printed in PETG.  

Assembly:

To mount, fold each "peglock pegboard clip" with the flat printed sides together.  Insert it into the pegboard so the triangular surfaces point up spaced to match the slots on the rack, then slide the rack down over top.  It should securely fit into place compressing the rack against the board and preventing accidental movement.
