Abstract: Holder for tools and other objects is provided which substantially includes at least one rail having a uniform cross section along its longitudinal dimension and a plurality of holding devices fastened thereto. Each holding device is formed by a strip of determined length and width which is produced from resilient material and has fastening means at both ends. The fastening means are adapted to the rail and constructed for arrangement thereon. The holding device is bent in a U-shape and fastened at the rail so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the rail by its ends which form legs. The strip is constructed so that the center region of its length is narrower than the two end regions forming the legs and stiffening means are arranged on the inner side of the strip in the center of the wider end regions, which stiffening means project into the interior formed by the U-shaped strips and are directed toward the base of the rail.
