Abstract
A personal tool carrying device provides improvements in manufacture and appearance. A hook includes an integrally formed head end that is supported by ribs of a slot of a housing. A friction cap preferably surrounds the head end to hold the hook in a selected rotational position. The head end and friction cap are held in a cavity of the housing by a mounting element such as a belt clip. The housing swivels in relation to the mounting element. The device provides various surfaces for product identifying information.
