A personal tool carrying device provides improvements in manufacture and appearance. A hook includes an integrally formed head end that is supported by ribs of a slot of a housing. A friction cap preferably surrounds the head end to hold the hook in a selected rotational position. The head end and friction cap are held in a cavity of the housing by a mounting element such as a belt clip. The housing swivels in relation to the mounting element. The device provides various surfaces for product identifying information.

A hand-held power tool including a housing (1) having a handle (7), and a holding device (3) having a catch element (9) with a free end (9a) for suspending the power tool, with the free end (9a) having a main axis (K) intersecting a normal live (N) that extends transverse to the tool plane which is defined by the plane of the handle and the operational direction of the tool, and passes through the center of gravity (S) of the tool.
The present invention provides a belt hanger clip and cell phone holder. The belt hanger clip includes a belt clip that slips over the belt or other article of clothing. A loop is rigidly fastened to the exterior of the belt clip portion. A cell phone holder has a cradle portion that securely holds a cell phone within a semi-rigid, plastic frame. A carabiner style clip protrudes from the side of the cradle portion. The cell phone holder assembly allows the users to quickly and easily connect the cell phone holder latch against the loop of the belt clip hanger for quick and secure storage.
A belt clip can be side-mounted to a drill/driver to facilitate holstering of the drill/driver and to reduce the profile of the drill/driver. The side-mounted belt clip can be positioned to enable the drill/driver to be grasped in the ergonomically desirable thumb-rest and power-grip holds. The side-mounted belt clip can be adapted to facilitate the wielding of the tool by providing additional surfaces for the fingers and thumb to contact when grasping the tool. The belt clip can also be detachably mounted to a tool and can be designed to provide curved surfaces which match the profile of the user's thumb and fingers for comfort.
A multi-position hook assembly includes a hook and a holding block. The hook includes a free leg and a mounting leg joined by a top span.
