In my penchant for quick access to tools, I've found the best way to place a small diameter tool or bit in pegboard is often just to stick it straight in. This is made more feasible by the fact that the pegboard is mounted over 1.5" of high density foam which holds it shape well. Doing "in and out" too much, however, erodes and enlarges the hole. The solution is to create a shoulder for the hole with a sleeve, in this case a Knape & Vogt sleeve actually designed to receive a shelf support spoon with a .25" pin diameter. Since the external diameter of the sleeve is greater than the diameter of the pegboard hole these sleeves fit nice and tight, providing permanent reinforcement. Of course, using these sleeves for actual shelf supports provides durability, security and beauty.
