1 . A display hanger for a tool, comprising:
 a tab having a tab hole, the tab further including a first set of fingers and a second set of fingers that extends from the tab; and   a socket having a table that defines a table hole, the socket further having a first set of legs and a second set of legs extending from the table, wherein the first set of fingers is configured to interact with the first set of legs so that the first set of legs releasably couples the socket to a portion of the tool and the second set of fingers is configured to interact with the second set of legs to releasably couple the tab and socket.   
   
   
       2 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of fingers and the second set of fingers can be constructed and arranged to be insertable into the table hole. 
   
   
       3 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the first set of fingers is different than a length of the second set of fingers. 
   
   
       4 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of legs and the second set of legs are extended from the table at different angles. 
   
   
       5 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the second set of fingers has a foot portion angled in relation to a main portion and located at a first end of the second set of fingers, the foot portion receives a bottom portion of the second set of legs. 
   
   
       6 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of legs has a foot portion angled in relation to a main portion, the foot portion couples to the portion of the tool. 
   
   
       7 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second set of fingers and the first and second set of legs protrude into a tool hole of the tool. 
   
   
       8 . The hanger of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second set of fingers include a tapered portion at an end of the fingers. 
   
   
       9 . The hanger of  claim 5 , wherein when the foot portion of the second set of fingers receives the bottom portion of the second set of legs, the tab and the socket do not separate from each other. 
   
   
       10 . A display hanger for a tool, comprising:
 a means for hanging having a tab hole, the means for hanging configured to have a first set of fingers and a second set of fingers that extends from the means for hanging; and   a means for holding configured to hold a tool, the means for holding having a table that defines a table hole, the means for holding further having a first set of legs and a second set of legs extending from the table, wherein the first set of fingers is configured to interact with the first set of legs so that the first set of legs releasably couples the means for holding to a portion of the tool and the second set of fingers is configured to interact with the second set of legs to releasably couple the means for hanging and the means for holding.   
   
   
       11 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the first set of fingers and the second set of fingers can be constructed and arranged to be insertable into the table hole. 
   
   
       12 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein a length of the first set of fingers is different than a length of the second set of fingers. 
   
   
       13 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the first set of legs and the second set of legs are extended from the table at different angles. 
   
   
       14 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the second set of fingers has a foot portion angled in relation to a main portion and located at a first end of the second set of fingers, the foot portion receives a bottom portion of the second set of legs. 
   
   
       15 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the first set of legs has a foot portion angled in relation to a main portion, the foot portion couples to the portion of the tool. 
   
   
       16 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second set of fingers and the first and second set of legs protrude into a tool hole of the tool. 
   
   
       17 . The hanger of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second set of fingers include a tapered portion at an end of the fingers. 
   
   
       18 . The hanger of  claim 14 , wherein when the foot portion of the second set of fingers receives the bottom portion of the second set of legs, the means for hanging and the means for holding do not separate from each other. 
   
   
       19 . A method of hanging a tool on a display hanger, comprising the steps of:
 inserting a socket having a first and second set of legs through a tool hole of the tool;   inserting a tab having a first and second set of fingers through a table hole of a table of the socket;   engaging the first set of fingers with the first set of legs so that the first set of legs releasably engage a portion of the tool;   engaging the second set of fingers with the second set of legs to releasably couple the tab with the socket; and   hanging the tab, the socket and the tool on the display hanger.   
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein engaging the first set of fingers further comprises biasing the first set of legs against the portion of the tool.
