Hammer holder pouch

Abstract

A hammer support system including a hammer support device is described. The hammer support device can include an upper support arm forming a first opening sized to enable a handle of a hammer to be inserted into the first opening yet prevent a head of a hammer from passing through the first opening; and a lower support arm disposed downwardly at a distance from the upper support arm, the lower support arm forming a second opening sized to receive a handle of a hammer. An accessory unit can be (i) coupled to the upper support arm and the lower support arm, and (ii) extend from the upper support arm to the lower support arm. The accessory unit can also include at least one pocket and/or storage sleeve for storing a hammer accessory.
