Two-Way Adaptable Tool Hook

Abstract

An adaptable tool hook comprises a wire-frame buckle and hook with a strap. The strap can be positioned on the buckle-hook in two different orthogonal positions to allow the strap to wrap an object or tool laterally or longitudinally. The hook stays with the tool and can be hooked on any available belt, pocket, rail, or wire.

1 . An attachable hook for a tool, comprising: 
 a wire hook-frame with a hook-end and a hook-base;    a floating tie-buckle that can be captured by said hook-base; and    a tie-strap threaded through the floating tie-buckle and said hook-base such that the tie-strap can be rotated and installed around a user's tool in two different orthogonal orientations relative to said hook-end.    
   
   
       2 . The attachable hook of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a tie-buckle at one end of the tie-strap for locking onto an opposite tie-end to secure the attachable hook around said user's tool.    
   
   
       3 . The attachable hook of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a foam tape under the floating tie-buckle to provide stability and resist slipping and twisting when installed on a tool.    
   
   
       4 . The attachable hook of  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a film cover to protect a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface on the adhesive tape up until a user removes it for installation.
