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

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.

Well-made however the screws that came with the product did not work well in the metal peg tiles from Lowes. I had to buy machine screws for them to work to my satisfaction.

These are strong hooks and install easily. The ad says they fit 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch holes. That is incorrect. The tabs are 3/16 and will not fit in an 1/8-inch hole. One star deducted for false advertising. They are a little on the expensive side, too. Deduct another star. Also, if you buy the Triton HDF pegboard, expect all the pieces to be damaged.

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 couldn't be more satisfied with this product and all of the Triton durahooks. I used them to hang pots and pans and miscellaneous kitchen cooking devices on a steel covered pegboard in my kitchen. It's great not to have the hook fall out when taking a pot off the pegboard, something that happened frequently with hooks that were not screwed in, as are the Durahooks. I've read reviews that suggested that these hooks are wrongly engineered. That may be, but I would be surprised if anything I could hang on a hook would be able to cause the hook to fall out. They're in the pegboard like a rock. In this respect, it is worth noting that the screw used for fastening needs to be the largest size(they look to be similar to slightly smaller screws, but the correct crew has a blunt end. The slightly smaller screw has a pointed tip) It may be that the hooks are sometimes shipped with the smaller screws by mistake. This would be a problem and should not occur, but, given Amazon's outstanding customer service, should be easily correctable. I can't accuse Triton of sending the wrong sized screws. I have purchased a lot of different Triton hooks, and consequentially, have many hooks and screws lying around that I've opened but not yet used. So, it's likely I mixed up the different sized screws. Whatever the case, if you want a rock solid hook for 1/4" pegboard make sure the screw used has a blunt end, If you do , that hook will never fall out.

I bought various size's of Triton hooks and as other reviews have stated the screws simply do not hold. They will work for lighter tools as long as there is not too much down pressure on the hook. I used mine for hanging pipe clamps, which can have a little weight to them. I think the design should be reversed with the screw on the bottom. Be that as it may the hooks are very good and was able to overcome the problem of the screws pulling out of the pegboard. It was a lot of extra effort, but since I had access to the back of the pegboard I attached strips of wood where needed and used real screws to attach the hooks. They will hold anything now. If you can come up with a better fastening method, they will work great.

I've purchased many kinds of Triton pegboard hooks with screws and have been very satisfied with all of them. Each hook anchors to the pegboard on the bottom, and then screws into the pegboard above the hook. They don't move, and what I love about them is they don't fall out when you take something off of the hook. Each package comes with screws for both 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch pegboard. I have 1/4 inch pegboard all over my garage and got tired of the old hooks falling out or bending. These are very sturdy and I've never had one bend. They last forever. They are a bit more expensive but to me are well worth it.

Triton's DuraHook products are well worth the additional cost. They attach with a hook and a screw, and they remain solidly in place and don't fall off like most of the lower cost hooks tend to do. They are easy to install and to remove or relocate. Triton also offers their DuraBoard product, a 1/4" thick plastic pegboard. This is very durable and installs like other pegboard. I also recommend Triton's 70016 Pegboard mounting and spacer hardware. This product allows one to hang pegboard without the need for traditional backer board.

In the continuing quest to find genuinely good (i.e. secure) pegboard hooks, these seemed to hold a lot of promise. And that video sold me. Instead whoever engineered them got them upside down - the weight on the hook is borne entirely by the screw instead of the notch on the hook. I knew this before I ordered but thought it might be easy to bend that 30 degree end around the opposite way. Given the thinness of the metal (on the non-heavy duty DuraHooks), you can do that in a vise but you end up with marked up slightly crooked hooks. And doing so doesn't really better support a lot of weight anyway - the part that hooks into the pegboard is meant to (also) fit 1/8" holes so in 1/4" pegboard it's sufficiently tiny that it's going to eventually pull out if there's enough weight on it. My quest continues ... sigh.

Product arrived as described. Screws don't hold well. Can't hold much weight. Kind of strange that the screws is at the top. I would have done it the other way around by having the pin at the top and the screws at the bottom. Will not buy again.
