Abstract:
A power tool housing can include a circumferential housing groove having at least one detent. A wire can include a central bend forming a hook end of a wire body, and can include two free ends of the wire forming a coupling end of the wire body. The coupling end can be received in the housing groove, and the coupling end can have at least one cooperating detent. The at least one detent and the at least one cooperating detent can be engaged in a storage position in which the hook end is positionable adjacent the power tool housing, and can be engaged in an in-use position in which the hook end is positionable extending away from the power tool housing ready for use in hanging the tool. The coupling end can be slidable along the housing groove between the storage and in-use positions.
