Abstract

A tool hanging system including a first tool having a first mount receiving portion and a second tool having a second mount receiving portion. A first mounting attachment is engaged with the first mount receiving portion and a second mounting attachment engaged with the second mount receiving portion. The tool hanging system further includes a wall panel. The first mounting attachment can hang on the wall panel so that the first tool is hung on the wall panel and the second mounting attachment can hang on the wall panel so that the second tool is hung on the wall panel.

Claims

1. A tool hanging system, comprising:

a first tool, the first tool having a first mount receiving portion;

a first mounting attachment engaged with the first mount receiving portion;

a second tool, the second tool having a second mount receiving portion;

a second mounting attachment engaged with the second mount receiving portion;

a wall panel;

wherein the first mounting attachment is configured to hang on the wall panel whereby the first tool is hung on the wall panel;

wherein the second mounting attachment is configured to hang on the wall panel whereby the second tool is hung on the wall panel;

wherein the first tool comprises a first motor;

wherein the second tool comprises a second motor;

wherein the tool hanging system further comprises a battery pack;

wherein the battery pack is selectively engageable with the first tool to provide power to the first motor; and

wherein the battery pack is selectively engageable with the second tool to provide power to the second motor;

wherein the first mount receiving portion has a different configuration than the second mount receiving portion such that the first mounting attachment is blocked from engagement with the second mount receiving portion;

wherein the first mounting attachment and the second mounting attachment each include a groove and an overhang portion;

wherein the wall panel includes a hanging projection extending along a longitudinal axis of the wall panel;

wherein the first mounting attachment hangs on the hanging projection; and

wherein the second mounting attachment hangs on the hanging projection.

2. The tool hanging system of claim 1, wherein the first tool is a drill;

and

wherein the second tool is a hedge trimmer.

3. The tool hanging system of claim 1, wherein the first mount receiving portion comprises at least one slot and at least one hole.

4. The tool hanging system of claim 3, wherein the at least one hole is configured to receive a screw.

5. The tool hanging system of claim 3, wherein the first mount receiving portion comprises at least two slots.

6. The tool hanging system of claim 5, wherein the at least two slots are aligned along an axis.

7. The tool hanging system of claim 1, wherein the first mount receiving portion comprises at least three slots.

8. The tool hanging system of claim 7, wherein the at least three slots are aligned along an axis.

9. The tool hanging system of claim 1, wherein the first mount receiving portion comprises at least one slot.

10. The tool hanging system of claim 9, wherein the first mounting attachment includes at least one slot projection which fits into the at least one slot.

11. The tool hanging system of claim 1, wherein the first mount receiving portion comprises a receiving hole.

12. The tool hanging system of claim 11, wherein the first mounting attachment includes an attachment hole aligned with the receiving hole.

13. The tool hanging system of claim 12, further comprising a fastener extending through the receiving hole and the attachment hole to secure the first mounting attachment to the first tool at the first mount receiving portion.

14. A tool hanging system, comprising:

a first powered tool, the first powered tool having a first mount receiving portion, the first mount receiving portion including first receiving slots;

a first mounting attachment, the first mounting attachment including first mounting projections;

a second powered tool, the second powered tool having a second mount receiving portion, the second mount receiving portion including second receiving slots;

a second mounting attachment, the second mounting attachment including second mounting projections;

wherein the first mount receiving portion is configured to selectively receive either the first mounting attachment or the second mounting attachment; and

wherein the second mount receiving portion is configured to receive the second mounting attachment; and

wherein the second mount receiving portion is configured such that the first mounting attachment is blocked from being engaged with the second mount receiving portion.

15. The tool hanging system of claim 14, wherein there are a different number of first receiving slots than second receiving slots.

16. The tool hanging system of claim 14, wherein there are different number of first mounting projections than second mounting projections.

17. The tool hanging system of claim 14, wherein the first mounting attachment and the second mounting attachment each include a groove and an overhang portion, configured to engage a hook portion of a slatwall.
