A bucket hook for supporting tools from a utility bucket, comprising:
- a crossbar with a first end and a second end;
- a first leg extending between a first end that joins the first end of the crossbar and a second end that defines a second hook, the first leg including:
- a middle segment extending generally parallel to the crossbar and having an inboard end and an outboard end;
- an upper segment extending between the outboard end of the middle segment and the first end of the first leg;
- and
- and a lower segment extending between the inboard end of the middle segment and the second end of the first leg;
- a gate having a proximal end which is pivotally mounted to the first leg by a pivot, and a distal end adjacent a distal end of the first hook, the gate being movable between a first position in which it contacts the first hook, and a second position in which it is pivoted away from the first hook;
- spring biasing means resiliently urging the gate towards the closed position;
- and
- a second leg having a first end that joins the second end of the crossbar and a second end that defines a second hook.
