My Dad had his tools all hung up over his workbench like that when I was a kid...he went one step further though and drew the outline of each tool around the hook where it hung. That way he could tell what tool was missing from an empty hook and he knew what tool to accuse me of taking and not returning to its proper place! The pegboard that I have looks more like Jim's and, no, there are no outlines!
The big drawback to using corrugated steel from the floor up is accessing the area behind if you want to add something like a new dedicated outlet for something like an air compressor or welder. Also if you damage a panel you need to remove a series of panels to get to the one you want to access. I have a forklift in my shop and tend to get congested on space and mover a lot of projects while by myself and sometimes have to spin the truck in small spaces and either catch the wall with the truck or push something else into the wall. Plus it's easier to mount things to plywood. I'm not saying any ideas here are wrong but everyone has a pro and con to it.

originally I had pegboard over workbench and one sheet on side wall by bench and it worked well for a while...till it got full. Later insulated the entire shop (walls and ceiling) and covered it with 1/4 plywood and it was after the shop was already full (forethought would have helped here) I used sheetrock screws on all of it instead of nails. It was a lot easier than nailing, especially on the ceiling working alone. I've had to access behind the walls to add wiring/outlets and to repair some termite damage. I just clear the area in front of the panel ...unscrew it and move it aside. and as others have said...you can add hangers anywhere you want...99% of my tools are in drawers on on shelves and I opted for more shelving rather than pegboard...I can pack a load of crap on shelves...
A 4×4 sheet of pegboard I got at a closed store I posted about earlier, on the back wall of my garage. Guess how much I paid for all those Bungie cords.
4×4 sheet above my work bench. The yellow baskets hanging on pegboard came from an old dishwasher.
4×4 sheet above the other end of my work bench.
I put old refrigerator drawers under my workbench.
Two Sears Craftsman tool drawers fit under the workbench. I built these shelves at the front of the garage.
The other side of my garage. This wall divides my garage in two. Here I use nails and hooks to hold tools.

I have 3 more of those free 4×4 sheets of pegboard in my basement.
A lot of shops and lots of stuff , This maybe depressing . I have lost a lot of friends in the last two years and it has got me thinking about what I will leave behind , for my wife and family to clean out . So I have started to get rid of thing I don't use or need , When my brother inlaw died it took weeks to get his garage cleaned to the point you could put cars in it . do I need two engine cranes or ten jackstans . many half full paint cans , boxes of wiring , pile of scrap steel , lead lights I never use , and lots of other things . From some of the pictures , I pity your family if any thing happens to you .
I have just finished my 4 bay building and am beginning to work at it. I did the walls with 4’ horizontal drywall from the floor up, then a 2’ band of OSB all around, finished with more drywall to the ceiling. I use finish nails or screws to hang tools, with no worry of them coming loose. I have the same arrangement in my woodshop, except I used peg board instead of the OSB. But it seems every time I reach for a tool I end up looking for the hook on the floor.
Are you holding out on us Bernd . I see some independent front suspension and disc brakes there .
Hello, the parts with the new brake are a different story. A few years ago my son really wanted to start this project. A G20 from the 89 ', only my son moved out of his dad after studying and now I'm alone with this long project. but I will finish building it.
greet Bernd
Might as well share my pegboard picture. I have a small section above my work bench. As you can see it mainly gets used for oddball stuff. 😆 Most of my tools are kept in my tool cabinet. Also wanted to share the heat source I use. We had a new furnace installed in our house a couple years ago so I use the old one. I only use the electric portion of it so it's probably quite expensive but at least it gives me a quick source of heat. You might be able to find an old one that an HVAC guy is getting rid of cheap. The biggest cost I have was wiring it to my panel. I hired that. I also have a pellet stove. Both of these still don't keep up when it's really cold. I really need to get the shop insulated. ?
You do have a lot of drawer space under your work bench.
The only heat I have in my garage are two overhead radiant heaters at my workbench. They keep my bald head warm. If my bottom half gets cold I plug in a floor mount electric radiant heater.
If it's really cold I use a propane tank top heater but I don't like to use it near my truck. On my "wife's side" of our garage it is insulated. The propane heater heats it up pretty fast.
