Some of them you might have to bend a little to fit things, e.g. increase the radius of the hook etc. This is why I am using mostly metal pegs. For things like the screwdriver rack etc. I bend 2 L-hooks so they are 90 degrees and drill tight holes at the end of the wooden "shelf" to stick the hooks in so I can hang it on the board. One more thing: I was always annoyed with the pegs moving too much or coming off when you remove a tool from the board. I got some "peg locks" that take care of that and work really well with those metal boards:

Another option is building a Pelican/Storm case of the tools you need for cycling specific work, and you can add other tools. I moved into a smaller place which limited my storage this year, and went the route of having all my tools (aside from power tools) in a pelican case, with Kaizen foam inserts. It's not as easy as the nice roller drawers I had before from a convenience perspective, but it's compact, and well organized.

Yes, they do. Mine are the 1/4” version and even just using one as per their recommendation, holds the hooks well. For heavier stuff or more used items, I am using 2 which really locks them in.

I have the same (or very similar) panels as Gsinilll and they're like the best thing I ever did to the workshop area.
I only have 2 panels, arguably I should get some more, but I don't necessarily have mounting space. I have them over the workbench with space in the middle and I have a wall mounted power strip there and then have my DeWalt charger mounted in the middle too. Having the power there is kind of important for plugging in bench tools and the heater I have under the workbench. I can't expand out to the side because I have shelves on the sides of the bench. They save an unbelievable amount of time versus putting stuff in toolboxes. Particularly with crescent wrenches. Instead of hunting for the one you need they're all laid out in front of you and you immediately grab the one you need cause you can read all the sizes and (if you're sane) you laid them out on the panel in size order. I also keep all my allen keys, allen/torx bits and stuff in plastic holders mounted on the panels. That stuff saves a lot of time when working on bike stuff and you need to grab bits & a torque wrench, etc..

Well, I still haven't decided for sure, but I'm leaning toward a tool chest. I thought that I might try a large tool roll since if it doesn't work I will have spent minimal money.
Then I looked at all of the tools that don't fit in my current tool chest and are strewn over at least a dozen feet of shelves, and figured I may as well try to kill two birds with one stone. If I later decide I want some portability I'll look into a roll or toolbox for a subset of tools. I'm gonna live here a couple of more years, then move. By then I'll have a better idea of what works for me, what doesn't, and maybe some pegboard at the new place.

I have the Wall Control metal pegboards that I got from one of their scratch and dent sales. They're nice in that you can easily reposition the metal hooks but I have to be careful with pulling tools off otherwise the metal hooks get dislodged.
