An anti-theft suspension device for screwdrivers or the alike is provided. The suspension device has a clamping member at the bottom of a suspension board. The clamping member has a hollow body with a tilted fixing plate installed inside. Both the hollow body and the fixing plate have openings allowing the tool to be inserted through. The tilted fixing plate is arranged so that the axis of its opening is not aligned with those of the clamping member's openings. When the tool is inserted through the openings, the friction between the tool and the fixing plate causes the axis of the fixing plate's opening to align with the openings of the clamping member and the tool thereby could be inserted easily. When the tool reaches its destination, a restoring force takes the fixing plate back to its original, tilted position and the tool is affixed to the fixing plate. Unless the fixing plate is lifted upward to have its opening's axis aligned with the clamping member's openings, the tool could not be removed from the bottom of the clamping member easily.
A hand tool suspension device comprising a suspension board and a hollow clamping member at the bottom of said suspension board, said hand tool suspension device characterized in that a tilted fixing plate is installed inside said clamping member, the axis of an central opening of said fixing plate is not aligned with those of said clamping member's openings, and a tool inserted through said openings from the bottom are clamped by said fixing plate from falling or pulling down from the bottom of said clamping member.
