Abstract: A hanger assembly and method for its use is included, along with various examples of alternative constructions for the hanger assembly. Also included are examples of new tool strings having capabilities facilitated as a result of use of the hanger assemblies. The hanger includes a deformable section that facilitates engaging contact with a surrounding structure. In preferred examples this engagement is achieved by use of a first deformable section of the hanger that extends radially outwardly from the remainder of the hangar body when the hanger is set; and a contact member that is further urged radially outwardly relative to that deformable section when the hanger is set.
