Peggit - Pegboard Mounting System

Introduction

The Peggit system is a simple way to attach holders and organizers to your pegboard using simple automotive rivets.  The clip easily attaches to standard pegboard with 1" spacing using 15mm x 12mm x 6mm automotive push rivets.  Holders can be easily removed from the clip by pressing the two arms on the bottom of the clip, making it easy to move your holders around.

Available Models

This model is just for the clip, you will need holders to attach to the clips. View the whole Peggit Collection.

• 10" Magnetic Screwdriver Holder
• 5" Magnetic Screwdriver Holder
• 12" Magnetic Screwdriver Holder
• Small Magnetic Bit Holder
• Magnetic Extension Holder

Printing

The clip prints flat at 0.2mm layer height without supports.  PLA is just fine for this application since there's very little stress on the part and the arms aren't under tension once clicked in place.

Tips and Tricks

If you're testing out an arrangement of holders, you can install the rivets, but remove the center pins.  This will allow you to loosely attach the holders and see how everything will fit before securing them to the pegboard.  Simply find the right spot, press the tabs on the arms and remove the holder, then add the pins and replace the holder.

Instead of using the pins that come with the push rivets, you can use a ¾" 8-32 (or M4 16mm) flat head machine screw (see the materials section below).  These screw and unscrew easily making it easier to relocate holders.

Materials

Below is a list of what you will need to assemble everything as intended.  Of course you can substitute what you want, but the list below is what worked for me.

• Magnets - 60x5x10mm (varies by holder, but all magnetic holders use this same size)
• Push Rivets - 15x12x6mm (two per clip)
• M3 Screws (for attaching the endcaps)
• 8-32 ¾" Flat Head Screw - (for securing the rivets in place of the center pin)

Design Notes

I really want to see what other holders people come up with!  The STEP files are included for both the clip and the ‘receiver’.  This is the mating part that all the holders have modeled into them.  The ‘receiver’ just needs a 27.5mm H x 75mm W x 7.5mm D pocket.  Just design a holder with that pocket and mate it with the receiver, so it works with all the clips.
