Abstract: A hangtag is provided that is capable of hanging and securing a tool, such as a socket. The hangtag has a body portion having a front surface and a back surface, a hanging mechanism connected to the body portion, and a tool supporting mechanism also connected to the body portion for supporting a tool. The tool supporting mechanism includes first and second legs and a locking finger disposed between the first and second legs. The locking mechanism allows the particular tool to be reattached to the hangtag assembly after it is initially unlocked. This allows the hangtag to function as a storage and organization device for the tool.

Abstract: A safety latch for a hand tool is provided. According to the present invention, the safety latch serves to hold the two handles of a safety tool in proximity to one another so as to prevent the hand tool from pivoting, and thereby maintaining the hand tool in its closed position. A latching member is first connected to the first handle. The latching member is capable of moving from a disengaged position to an engaged position. Next, a receiving member is connected to the second handle. The receiving member receives the latching member in its engaged position. In this position, the handles of the hand tool are maintained in proximity such that the tool implements of the hand tool are maintained in the closed position. Finally, a biasing member is supplied to act against the latching member. The biasing member biases the latching member in its disengaged position.
