Abstract: A portable holder for storing air guns and other hand tools is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the holder comprises: a generally-tubular body having two open ends, one of which is flared; a slit or gullet on one side of the body and extending longitudinally from the flared open end of the body partway down the body; and a plurality of magnetic discs or feet for removably, yet securely attaching the holder to a workstation having a ferrous surface. A related process for storing such tools comprises: orienting a generally tubular holder adjacent a workstation's metal side; removably affixing the holder to that metal surface by at least one magnet; slipping the particular tool into a flared end of the holder; and guiding a portion of the tool, such as an attached air hose or the tool handle, into a gullet of the holder to rest the tool and orient the hose or handle for easy retrieval of the tool from the holder.

Abstract: A versatile book is disclosed for hanging pneumatically actuated devices (e.g., airguns or spray guns). In the preferred embodiment, the versatile hook comprises: a hook body having a base with an annular section that defines a through-space corresponding to the shape of the pneumatic device's cylindrical extension tube or barrel; a hook-shaped extension attached to the body; and, positioning-and-mounting means for selectively positioning the hook, around and along the barrel, and thereafter mounting the body in a temporarily fixed position onto the barrel, with the hook-shaped extension facing towards or away from the discharge nozzle. Upon loosening a bolt, the preferred hook can be reoriented.
