Abstract
A tool hanger system (100) includes modular holder units (102) each composed in basic form of a magnetic base unit (104) configured with a back side to securely attach to an upright or vertical ferromagnetic surface. The holder units (102) also include selected tool adapters (106) that project from the front sides of the base units (104) to receive and hold a specific type and size of a mechanic's tool. The holder units (102) are configured to be connectable together in side-by-side relationship to each other to form the hanger system (100) of a desired length or capacity.

A tool hanger system composed of modular, connectable holder units to receive and hold a desired number and types of mechanic's tools on an upright surface, the holder units comprising:
- a magnetic base unit having a front side, a back side that is attachable to an upright ferromagnetic surface, and opposite first and second side edges, at least one projection unitarily constructed with the first side edge and extending from the first side edge and at least one socket extending into the second side edge to receive the at least one projection of an adjacent magnetic base unit to interlock the base units in side-by-side relationship;
- and
- a selected tool adaptor engageable with the base unit to cantilever from the front side of the base unit, the adaptor configured to receive and hold a mechanic's tool.
