Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and apparatus for securing tools for use, storage, and transport. One illustrative system may include a tool securing assembly with a tool retaining clip that can be detachably mounted to a base assembly. The tool retaining clip may be formed from a resilient material and have a tool insertion opening smaller than a diameter of a portion of a tool to be secured therein that leads to a larger tool retaining space. When a tool is inserted, the tool insertion opening flexes to provide positive physical feedback that the tool is secured. The retaining clip may require the tool to be rotated as it is inserted to provide additional physical feedback. The base assembly may have a front mounting portion and rear securing portion separated by a retaining recess. The tool retaining clip may also be secured on a storage rack for storage or transport.
