FIGS. 2 and 3 are respectively front and rear elevational views thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view of a second embodiment thereof, the differences residing in the substitution of rearwardly extending braces for said upper bracket and the rotation through 90 degree of the lower dual-socket bracket to enable the hanger to be connected to a horizontal surface, such as a work bench top and be braced by connection of said braces to a vertical surface such as a wall;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; and

FIG. 8 is a vertical side elevational view thereof.
