These are great for keeping the pegs in place.A great value for the price.

I have a garage that is lined with pegboard and I love it. But SOME of the hooks have a habit of pulling out (halfway, or altogether) when you remove the tool. This is especially the case for really large or heavy tools, such as shovels, large clamps, and the like. So while I was happy to find these clips, I quickly became somewhat disappointed with their performance. In brief, they are really difficult to install and they break all-too-easily.These clips are almost impossible to push into place with bare fingers. They’re also hard to install by tapping them with a hammer. Or using pliers. In all these cases, they often break. My eventual solution was to use a wooden dowel to push them into place, and I later made a dowel (recycled broomstick, see photo) with a slot to keep the clip steady while I pushed it into the hole in the pegboard. Even then, I repeatedly had clips breaking — even when pushed into place with a dowel. Sometimes the barb deformed; sometimes the barb broke off; and sometimes the clip broke in the exact middle! On balance, the first 13 clips I installed were accompanied by 6 that broke. I was glad I ordered the pack of 200, many more than I needed, because I expect that a pack of 200 will resolve to maybe 133 usable clips — and I have a hunch that many of my “successful” installs already are cracked where the barb takes off at a right angle.The 200-pack is a good deal, only $0.05 per clip. With breakage estimated at 1 in 3, that’s still less than $0.08 each. I’m okay with that, but it remains to say that these clips will try your patience. I also agree with another reviewer that you'll be better off removing these clips with a wire cutter and replacing them with fresh ones, because the barbs erode the masonite pegboard even as they are going in and much more so if you pull them out.

Makes a peg board great and saves time of reattaching the hooks.

They are very thick an hard to use with my heavier guage hooks, but work great for the medium to light weight hooks.

simple to pop in and they hold the hooks etc. in place nicely.

Got these yesterday, after returning the ‘Crawford’ locks (they were unusable). These are perfect. The barbs at the ends are big enough to solidly latch on to my standard pegboard. Hooking one end in, then holding the center down and pressing the other arm down allows the arm to bend enough to snap it into the board securely. Once in, it won’t budge. Removal is easy, too. Just hold the center down and pry (screwdriver blade) or pull away from center (pliers) bends the arm enough to rotate and free the barb, popping the lock off. Pulling straight out on the ends/tips will NOT release it. The barbs do what they’re designed to do, lock in. The tips are big enough that you can not put two ends in the same hole, i.e. you can’t use 2 locks side by side. I’m glad I wasn’t put off by the 1 star complaints. Makes me wonder if some of those ratings aren’t deliberate put downs from competitors.

These are great. Had a set earlier that came with some pegs I bought. They were flimsy. These are very solid. Fits both 1/4 and 1/8 sized pegs equally well - regardless of what a couple of other reviews have stated. They also hook into the holes quite well. If needed, use a slim flat blade screwdriver to stretch the anchor on one side into the peg hole. Locks in great. Will not come out. If you have a problem, it isn't the hooks fault.

I've installed pegboard hook locks before when they came in the same package as the hooks. Those weren't as difficult to install as these. These are quite difficult to install, and I even broke one of them trying to get one end into a hole. They are quite a tight fit. However, I found that it got easier to install them the more I did it. They are so tight that the hooks are held very securely. Time will tell if being stretched, as they are, will cause them to break easily with use. The plastic is fairly stiff. Once in, they would probably be difficult, if not impossible, to remove, so make sure to consider carefully where you put your hooks. My guess is you'd have to cut these hook locks to remove them.
