Triton Products 2-1/2" Steel Pegboard Hooks - Heavy Duty Single Rod 10-Pack Durahook, 30 Degree Bend, Fits 1/8 Inch and 1/4 Inch Duraboards and Pegboards

Been using these since 2007. I think the name changed over the years. I have a garage and a wood working shop with lots of pegboard and i only use these Triton hooks. Because you can screw them in they are rock solid, never follow your tool when you pull it. Easy to move around, the screws have a very course thread and really just tack in to the pegboard. As the directions state don't over tighten, Masonite is obviously not so strong. I must have a couple hundred of these things in my two work spaces, stripped maybe 2 holes in 16 years.

The big benefit of these for me has to do with the screws (two different sizes for different size pegboard holes) they come with. You see with the screws these grip onto the pegboard and aren’t constantly falling out every time they are bumped (that drives me nuts after a while…especially when the floor under the pegboard isn’t easy to reach). These are made very sturdy too which is a further benefit. All for minimally more than you would pay for the cheap hooks from the big box stores.

Strong.

These hooks are the BEST when they work, but the screws my recent DuraHook purchases came with didn't work in my galvanized metal 1/4-inch pegboard (AlligatorBoard brand).When I bought some of these hooks a couple years ago they DID come with working screws. The screws I've received recently are slightly too small to hold in metal pegboard - by maybe about 1/32".Here are the kinds of screws I know of:1. 1/4-inch screws the hooks I've ordered recently came with (too small for metal pegboard)2. 1/8-inch screws the hooks also come with (have never used, this is for smaller pegboard)3. 1/4-inch screws I received in the past (about 1/32-inch larger than the newer ones, work great in metal pegboard)You may see conflicting reviews on this site depending on what kind of pegboard people have and what kind of screws they received.I don't know if the manufacturer (Triton Products) changed the screws they use at some point or maybe there's another reason I received different screws at different times.In any case, I contacted the manufacturer and they were able to send me some of the slightly larger screws that work in metal pegboard. These work great, so you probably want this as Plan A.I wasn't able to find the right type of screws from anywhere other than Triton Products; it's an unusual screw made to hold in thin pegboard, with a very coarse thread and only 1/2" long.If you can't obtain the good screws, I explored a couple other options.If you can access the back of your pegboard, it's simple. Use bolts with nuts.If you can't and need a "blind hole" solution, one option I've found is "well nuts" also known as "rubber-insulated rivet nuts"; these are small rubber plugs with a threaded brass insert. When you tighten a bolt in them they compress and expand. It's not elegant but it works. The size you need is the 6-32 threaded, 1/4" hole size, 0.981" overall length. Pair it with a 1" 6-32 machine screw and perhaps an oversized #6 washer.The caveat with the well nuts is that they are almost an inch long, so you need some empty space behind your pegboard. The shorter well nuts I could find were too large in diameter to fit in the pegboard holes.If you don't have an inch behind your pegboard, you might be able to cobble something together by adding a lot of spacer washers to the long well nuts, or there are also non-removable blind rivets of various kinds (I haven't tried those).The DuraHook definitely will not work if you can't get a firm screw or bolt of some kind into your pegboard to hold them. If you have galvanized metal pegboard, don't plan on using the screws these hooks come with. (Though it's possible they work in some brands of metal pegboard, I don't know.)

I used these to mount my yarn and it turned out just as I envisioned! Pretty easy to install on the peg board, just make sure you use the correct size screws. The pegs come with two sizes depending on what peg board you have.

Work great, stay's in pegboard

I like the sturdiness of the hooks!

These are so strong and sturdy, I recommend them to all my friends. I hate those cheapy hooks that fall out all the time and bend so easily. These are the bomb.
