Buy a sheet of 1/2" Baltic birch for $100 US and rip it to make the cleats. You will be able to finish the entire wall behind your work bench. Then have fun making a new storage piece for your tools every night for a month. You will have the most OCD, beautifully organized tools of any workshop around. Go one step further and get a laser engraver to etch in a logo of each tool where it goes.
Bwahhahahahaaahaha!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
