  • Patent number: 5819932
    Abstract: A holder for pliers and similar tools contains a body with a bore passing into the body from the top surface and extending at least substantially through the body. The bore has a narrow part that is wider than the tool in its closed position and narrower than the tool in its open position. A divider extends through the bore from the front surface to the back surface. The upper surface of the divider is at or below the narrow part of the bore. When the working pieces of a pair of pliers or similar tool are placed into the body through the top opening of the bore, the post forces the working pieces apart so that the handles are also forced apart and so that the tool is readily accessible and yet resists dislodgment if the holder is subjected to rapid upward and downward movement.
