Repurposed of one of the woodsie scrap yard road signs into a tool holder on this new battery storage/ charging station now hiding behind the garage man door in a space usually occupied by dusty umbrellas and spiders. These tools and batteries have been taking up horizontal real estate on top of one of my tool chests and the top of my band saw, keeping me from meaningful wood working projects 
The backer is a couple of pieces of scrap plywood anchored to the sill plate and some studs. This is right under my breaker panel, so I was very careful where the anchors went. The sign is spaced a quarter of an inch away from the backer board to accept the belt hooks on the 20 volt tools, which can slide for spacing and still have room to leave a bit in the tool. Now I have to figure out a similar set up for the five 18 volt tools I still am using. They don't have belt hooks are are a lot heavier than their 20volt cousins, but this is a start.
