Magnet-assist tool holder

Abstract

There is a magnet-assist tool holder for selectably coupling a tool. The magnet-assist tool holder includes a mounting bracket coupled to a hip area of a user. The magnet-assist tool holder also includes a receiving member functionally coupled to the mounting bracket having a receiving bracket and a magnet. The magnet is disposed near an opening of the receiving bracket. The magnet-assist tool holder further includes an attachment member functionally coupled to the receiving member having magnet disposed thereon, such that when the attachment member is brought near the opening of the receiving bracket, the magnets cooperate in facilitating a user coupling the attachment member to the receiving member. The attachment member also includes a coupling device selectably coupleable to a tool.
