I use "Grundtal" kitchen rails and hooks from Ikea. I love it! I need more hooks now, though. This was right after I installed it - it's a bit more crowded now that I live with it.
The rails are right above my cutting table, within easy reach. Works great for me, I've found all sorts of other things to hang on there, now, LOL.

I have a really big wall, so I bought 3 3x4 foot peg boards, painted each of them with 2 different quilt block patterns, and hung them on the wall so that the sides are touching. I have a really cute 9 x 4 tool wall now.

Peg board and the rails with hooks are both good ideas. When my wife and I had a small antiques business about 5 years ago we also used slat wall for our displays. There's various hooks and bins that can be hung off it depending on your needs.

I have unpainted pegboard [white from the store however].......hubby put a frame around the back edges so the hooks are not up against the wall. I have too many rulers etc. to 'map' them out so I would know where they go back. I also hang 'templates' from different manufacturers in sturdy bags from the pegs.

DH installed 1" x 2" strips on the outside of the pegboard -- made it easy to install, and out from the wall far enough to hang the various metal hooks. I love that I can move things around. Wish I'd thought of painting it before we put it on the wall, though!

Like the others, I too, have a peg board, nothing fancy. I have several pegs of different lengths, so I can move them around as I need to make things fit. I have it right in front of my cutting table, so I can just reach and grab a ruler or cutter when I need it.
