Abstract
A hook for an electric power tool is engageable with a carabiner comprising a hook end portion, and a gate member capable of opening the hook end portion. The hook includes: a base portion attached to a housing of a rechargeable electric power tool; an engagement portion positioned outside the base portion and having a first through-hole; a folded-back portion connecting the base portion and the engagement portion and having a second through-hole; and an outer abutment portion formed between the first and second through-holes and configured to cause the gate member to be bent inwardly when the gate member is pressed against the outer abutment portion. The outer abutment portion is engaged with the carabiner by inserting the hook end portion into the first and second through-holes, while the gate member is pressed against the outer abutment portion to open the hook end portion.
