We love a tidy tool wall almost as much as we love tools themselves, and Park Tool just dropped something for the tinkerers, hackers, and print-at-home crowd that nails both. The Minnesota-based tool giant is giving away seven 3D-printable pegboard holders for its most popular blue-handled bits and pieces, free of charge.

Yep, free. No secret sign-up, no subscription pitch — just head over to ParkTool.com and download the STL files under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. That means you can share, remix, or 3D-print to your heart’s content, so long as you’re not flipping them for cash.

While a lot of bike shops and home mechanics like to organize their tools on pegboards, a lot of bike repair & maintenance tools are oddly shaped with no easy way to hang them.

For example, there isn’t a conventional peg hook that will neatly hold Park’s popular 3-Way Wrenches in a super-dialed way. The same is the case for their fancier Professional Chain Tool that doesn’t have the hole in the handle like the more basic chain tools. And have you ever tried to hang a set of vernier calipers?

So Park Tool designed some 3D models that let you print your mountable holders for hard-to-hold Park staples like the CT-15 Pro chain tool, the heavy DAG derailleur alignment tools, digital calipers, and more.

Park designed all of the 3D-print-ready files for standard American pegboard (9/32″ holes, 1″ spacing). They are clean, modular, and easy to install.

Want to remix them for some non-Imperial pegboard, the popular diamond IKEA Skådis pegboard layout, or just your ultra-specific tool cabinet? Go wild. Park’s blessing encourages DIY modifications of the tool holders’ 3D model files.

No 3D-Printer? No Problem!

Even if you’re not rocking a Prusa or Bambu Labs setup at home, you can still get in on the action. Just send the STL files to a third-party print service. Companies like Craftcloud, i.materialise, Print a Thing, or Shapeways should be able to spit out a slick, peg-ready part you can slap on your shop wall. Park even shares links to these 4 marketplaces directly from each 3D model’s web page.

The currently available line-up of free Park Tool 3D-Printable STL files for Pegboard Tool Holders includes 7 options. They are each quite specific to unique Park tools, but some look a bit more universal than others.

  • CT-15-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for CT-15 Pro chain tool
  • VC-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holders for VC-1 valve core remover
  • UP-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for UP-SET hex-handled utility picks
  • DC-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for Digital Calipers
  • AWS-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for 3-Way Wrenches
  • ATD-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for ATD-1.2 adjustable t-handle torque wrench
  • DAG-H3D – 3D Printable Pegboard Holder for Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauges

Given how clean and organized these look in renderings, we wouldn’t be surprised if Park expands this library to include more wrenches, things like specialized BB tools, caliper spacers, and more. Fingers crossed!

This feels like a classic Park Tool move— functional, generous, and geared toward making your workshop a better place. Whether you’re a basement wrench or a full-time shop mechanic, these holders hit that sweet spot of ‘form follows function’ with a dash of customization possibility. If you’ve got a 3D printer—or a buddy who does—download them now and give your tools the home they deserve.

I stumbled across the files on Park Tools’ website a few weeks ago, then promptly had 4 of the mounts printed by a local shop. They look and function perfectly! Further additions to this lineup of files would easily push me over the edge to acquire other Park Tool products that I was contemplating adding to the collection.

An important caveat: “optimized for standard American pegboard (9/32″ holes spaced 1″ apart), but can be freely modified or adapted to fit the end user’s needs.” Not all pegboard is the same.

What, and rob myself of the “where did I lay my 3-way hex key this time” joy?!

Most 3D printer resin shrieks and runs away at the sight of most common petroleum solvents. I give them about 3 weeks tops in your average busy workshop. Ask me how I know this.
