ABSTRACT:
A clip-type holster fashioned from a single strip of stainless steel and shaped for holding a battery powered rotary tool such as a screw gun for wearing on a tool belt. The holster catches the handle of the screw gun easily and locks it in place to prevent it from falling from the user's belt. The holster easily releases the screw gun when drawn from the holster by the user. The opening of the holster is adjustable to accommodate various types and sizes of handles. The strip is bent to form a hook having substantially U-shaped lower portion having an inner shank. The shank has a section bent back upon itself to form clip for the user's belt and having a spring action locking mechanism. The shank portion has a belt edge stop extending outward from the shank to meet the clip and located at a height spaced below the upper bend of the clip so as to clamp over the lower edge of the belt forming a holster clip that securely fits over the belt. The hook curved portion is bent inwardly back over itself to form a tool handle-grasping clip. The configuration of the U-shaped lower portion of the hook may be adjusted to accommodate different tool handles.
