A powerhead mounting bracket is connected to a diver's breathing tank support. A cord connected to the receiver has a plug with a projection for loosely fitting in an axial bore of the powerhead. The plug is placed in the axial bore and the powerhead shaft is placed between the flanges on the receiver. The sling at the other end of the powerhead is stretched, forcing the powerhead tight against the plug, and the stretched spring is hooked into slots in the receiver. The stretched sling holds the shaft of the powerhead against the base of the receiver and holds the powerhead longitudinally against the plug. When required for use, the powerhead shaft is grasped near the firing end and is pushed in a direction towards the sling, further stretching the sling. When the plug drops out of the axial bore, the shaft is pulled outward from the receiver, allowing the sling to become untensioned, whereupon the sling drops out of the slot in the receiver.
A tool mounting bracket comprising a receiver for receiving a tool, a flexible extension connected to the receiver and extending outward from the receiver, tool engaging means having a complementary structure connected to the extension remote from the receiver for engaging a complementary structure on the tool, and spring-holding means connected to the receiver for holding a spring to urge the tool into continued engagement with the engaging MEANS.
