This project started when I ran out of hooks and wanted an alternative without buying the fancy pegboard hook sets.
I happened to have chain link fence ties lying around and with a pair of pliers, I formed the ties into all kinds of shapes to fit my need.
You'll spend $12-15 on a pegboard specific hook assortment of 50 or so hooks. That same amount of money buys 100 chain link fence wire ties and I cut many ties down and got 2 or 3 out of each tie. You could get 200 or more hooks out of one bag. That's not a bad deal.

I've used them to hang wrenches and sockets. You want a slight angle up so things don't slide off.

A few simple angled hooks for wrenches. The wire ties hold up fine under the weight.
You can create a long hook with an upturned end for sockets. |
